Under an ominous mechanical sun, among decaying relics of monumental technology, two solitary, white-haired youths each navigate a desolate, depopulated landscape. The teenage boy is a cynical warrior, the little girl, the guardian of a large egg. Within it, she believes, is an angel waiting to be born. Their paths cross and, despite their opposing perspectives, the pair establish a bond-but as broken souls in a broken world, can they keep this mysterious egg intact?
When ANGEL'S EGG was first released exactly 40 years ago, as an OVA (original video animation, a direct-to-video format), it arrived at a time when Japanese anime oriented towards art, rather than commerce, had little precedent. Almost devoid of dialogue, rife with allusion, allegory, and subtle symbolism, it had limited popular appeal and languished in the shadows, though a small set of anime connoisseurs through the years have anointed it a legendary rare gem. After all, it was a crucial and defining early work for two of what are now the biggest names in anime: Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) and Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy). (Fantasia)
