I actually just now watched Shelter too. It was a pleasant experience. Seems to be one of those things that leaves a fair bit of wiggle room for the viewer to unconsciously fill in with what they want. I guess that is why so many people got really attached to it perhaps.
As a side note about ZNF's review: How much of your "controversial" reviews are true critiques and how much of them are just pure salt baits? Or perhaps you express your actual ideas but in a way that will maximize salt production? The undercurrent of your review has some valid things to say from someone who holds a similar perspective to you but it seems to be bundled in hyperbole designed to manufacture salt.

What do you mean by how many of my controversial reviews?
I've literally only written one review that's "controversial" and it's this one.
Also, I'm 100% serious about everything I wrote in that one. Shelter's awful. Worst thing I've ever seen and is probably the only anime where I legit never want to ever see footage of it ever again. If you gave me a choice between watching Shelter or Mars of Destruction, I will legit take the latter.
If you gave me a choice between watching Shelter or rewatching the end of School Days for an hour, I would watch the latter. If you gave me a choice between watching Shelter or watching the entirety of the Naruto series backwards, I would choose the latter. I would be okay reading Kuso Miso technique on repeat for a week rather than rewatching Shelter.
In six minutes, it managed to represent almost everything that is wrong with anime, aka "let's just throw some stunning visuals and pretend that we're trying to tell a valuable story."
It's lazy, it's cheap, and as harsh as it sounds, it lacks any semblance of humanity and gives us the caricature of a human being, who I still strongly assume people identify with because she appears powerless and vulnerable. Even as a fan of moe, this is just the abuse of moe in its most grotesque fashion precisely because it actually tries to pretend that it's giving us something of substance and telling us a "serious" emotional story about our precious relationships/memories with others.
Name any short that tackles the stuff Shelter is trying to deal with. House of Cubes. Furiko. Pale Cocoon. All of them at least give us substance that is not superficial and doesn't cut corners by designing some cute character (girl or boy, mind you) and making that cute character do cute things and expects us to take the story seriously as an emotional experience.
Maybe not reviews but opinions you post on forums that cause a lot of ruckus? (unless I am mixing you up with someone else IE the Slaine did nothing wrong guy) This one I guess is the only actual review.
But really doesn't matter. I don't get the salt anyway. All your review tells me is you have a vastly different perspective then myself and that is about it. I guess most people can't help getting triggered that someone has a different opinion on something they like and have to lash out. If they really cared about it they would take the time to offer counter points that are present from other perspectives.

Only true for s1 though. In s2 he just didn't make sense anymore. I guess you could argue he didn't do anything wrong but it was the writers fault for writing his actions in a way that they completely contradict each other.
DxD season 4 incoming i guess not sure i'm even really interested after how fucking garbage season 3 was and how poorly they adapted it after having been great adaptions in season 1 and 2
Bungou Stray Dogs EP 4 of the 2nd season was great, hyped for next week. + Show Spoiler +
Looks like the past Arc is over now? Was a rather good Arc in the end, and it was pretty much needed because it was never said why Dazai left the Mafia. Still happy it seems to be over now.

I only watched S1. xD
Though, I do remember for a while, having not watched s2, I just went to the mal subforums and started spamming that he had done nothing wrong with a couple of people.
I was pretty quick to pull the trick on Godwin's Law.
