The definitive book "THE ART OF Angel's Egg" (first edition in 1986, first edition in 2004), which contains original illustrations, filmmaking, and image boards that condense the worldview, has finally been reprinted long-awaited. Tasu.

"Angel's Egg", which was released as an OVA in 1985, is an anime every time a work is released, such as "Urusei Yatsura 2 Beautiful Dreamer", "GHOST IN THE SHELL", "Innocence" and It is a legendary work that depicts a fantastic different world with Yoshitaka Amano, who later became a world-class illustrator, by Mamoru Oshii, who has overturned the common sense of movies.

The color is as close to monotony as possible, the very few dialogue, the unusually long turn, and the number of cuts, which is about one-third of the normal animation (about 400 cuts) ——. The entire story is composed in this ascetic style, and the theme of "skepticism about self-existence" that goes through all Oshii's works is deeply reflected.

For Mamoru Oshii, there is no doubt that this is his first original work and an important work that can be said to be the starting point of a writer.
In 2025, which marks the 40th anniversary of its release, the announcement of the production of a 4K remastered version of "Angel's Egg" caused a big topic not only in Japan but also around the world.
In addition, through exhibitions at international film festivals such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Anthesy International Animation Film Festival, this work has been re-evaluated again after 40 years.

And now this book, which has been waiting for a long time to be republished, is back to the fans.
