Angel’s Egg is an animated film written, directed, and conceived by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) with original concept and art direction by Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy series). Originally released in 1985 as an OVA (original video animation), the film has since gained worldwide recognition with its beautiful visuals and a uniquely overwhelming worldview.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of its release, the film has been remastered in 4K from the original 35mm film under the supervision of director Mamoru Oshii himself. A Dolby Cinema version has also been produced.
In terms of sound, the original mono audio was analyzed and separated using audio separation technology developed by Sony PCL and Sony Group Corporation, and was then reconstructed into 5.1-channel surround and Dolby Atmos formats.
In May 2025, the film was selected for the Classics section of the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Ahead of its release in Japan, it had its world premiere screening, leaving audiences around the globe once again in awe of its artistic brilliance.

This fall, the film makes its triumphant return to theaters, fully restored in breathtaking visual and audio quality.

In a submerged city,
a young girl continues to care for a large egg she holds preciously in her arms.
She believes it is the egg of an angel.

A boy with a huge gun alights from a peculiar chariot.
He is in search of the bird he saw in his dream.

In an abandoned city,
it seems as if a faint sense of sympathy has developed between the two.
However, one night, the boy crushes the girl's egg.
