Angel’s Egg 4K Restoration Trailer RELATED: Angel's Egg Anime 4K Restoration Gets World Premiere at Cannes Film Festival 2025 Angel's Egg was the first original OVA work written and directed by Mamoru Oshii ( Ghost in The Shell ) and also his first original collaboration work with internationally acclaimed illustrator Yoshitaka Amano. The 71-minute OVA released from Tokuma Shoten in Japan on December 15, 1985, and also received a limited theatrical run. Here’s how GKIDS describes it: In an underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms – a treasure that she believes is an angel’s egg. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream. At first it seems as if feelings of sympathy are developing between the two. Then, one night, the boy crushes her precious egg.
