First Original Movie from Director of Ghost in the Shell Coming to 4K

In 2025, there will be a 4K release of Mamoru Oshii’s Angel’s Egg, making it more accessible to watch this iconic film.

Angel’s Egg, a sci-fi film directed by the creator of Ghost in the Shell, was an innovative and avant-garde production that was ahead of its time. The film follows a young woman, whose name is unknown, as she guards a mysterious egg in a desolate city. She is accompanied by a young soldier, and they work together to navigate through the city while patrolling alongside biomechanical tanks.

Released in 1985, this peculiar and obscure film has served as a source of inspiration for popular titles such as Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Ergo Proxy. However, it has proven to be a challenge to locate for quite some time.

Despite only having occasional theatrical showings, a VHS release, and limited DVD and Blu-ray versions, the film has remained accessible to audiences. However, this is about to change as it has been announced that Mamoru will be overseeing a 4K transfer in honor of the 40th anniversary of Angel’s Egg, making it more widely available.

This is exciting, not just for collectors and people familiar with anime history, but for new fans exploring the medium. An experiment from the filmmaker behind one of the most beloved anime films ever will be wildly available, and looking better than ever.

Hopefully, this will encourage the production of additional physical releases and the preservation of media. As more information becomes available, we will provide updates.
