A new preview video (PV1) has been released for Mamoru Oshii's seminal 1985 OVA, Angel's Egg. The trailer offers a fresh look at the film's hauntingly beautiful, desolate world and its enigmatic narrative, which explores themes of faith, loss, and the search for meaning in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
Produced by Studio Deen, Angel's Egg is renowned for its avant-garde storytelling and striking visual design, which depicts a lone girl protecting a mysterious egg in a world filled with bizarre, fish-like shadow creatures and silent, cloaked figures. The film's philosophical depth and ambiguous plot have cemented its status as a cult classic, holding a respectable 7.71 rating on MyAnimeList.
Originally intended as a more mainstream post-apocalyptic thriller with added live-action footage in its US release (titled In The Aftermath: Angels Never Sleep), the original Japanese cut of Angel's Egg stands as a testament to experimental animation. This new trailer serves as an invitation to revisit or discover the film's unique blend of religious allegory and existential dread.
