Product description
The original concept, script, and direction for the anime film "Angel's Egg" were handled by Mamoru Oshii (known for "Ghost in the Shell"), while the original concept and art direction were undertaken by Yoshitaka Amano (known for the "Final Fantasy" series). This definitive book, "THE ART OF Angel's Egg," which includes original illustrations, filmmaking documentation, and image boards that condense the work's worldview, is finally seeing its long-awaited reprint. The first edition was published in 1986, and the revised and expanded edition in 2004.
"Angel's Egg," released as an OVA in 1985, is a legendary work in which Mamoru Oshii, a genius who has overturned the conventions of anime and film with each work he has released, including "Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer," "GHOST IN THE SHELL," and "Innocence," depicted a fantastical other world together with Yoshitaka Amano, who would later become a world-renowned illustrator.
Colors that are almost monochrome, very few lines of dialogue, unusually long takes, and a small number of cuts (approximately 400 cuts) that is about one-third of that of normal animation. The entire film is composed in this ascetic style, and the theme of "doubt about one's own existence," which runs through all of Oshii's works, is deeply reflected.
For Mamoru Oshii, this is his first original work, and there is no doubt that it is an important work that can be said to be the starting point as 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 great stir not only in Japan but also in countries around the world. Furthermore, through its participation in international film festivals such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, this film has been re-evaluated after 40 years.
And now, this book, which fans have been waiting for a reprint for many years, is back in the hands of fans.

Original description (Japanese)
商品説明
原案・脚本・監督を押井守(『GHOST IN THE SHELL/攻殻機動隊』)、原案・アートディレクションを天野喜孝(「ファイナルファンタジー」シリーズ)が手がけたアニメーション作品『天使のたまご』。その世界観を凝縮したオリジナルイラスト、フィルムメイキング、イメージボードを収録した決定版書籍『THE ART OF 天使のたまご』(初版1986年、増補改訂版初版2004年)が、ついに待望の復刻を果たす。
1985年にOVAとして発表された『天使のたまご』は、『うる星やつら2 ビューティフル・ドリーマー』『GHOST IN THE SHELL/攻殻機動隊』『イノセンス』など、作品を発表するたびにアニメや映画の常識を覆してきた鬼才・押井守が、のちに世界的なイラストレーターとして活躍する天野喜孝と共に幻想的な異世界を描き出した伝説的作品である。
限りなくモノトーンに近い色彩、ごくわずかな台詞、異例の長回し、通常のアニメーションの約3分の1にあたる少ないカット数(約400カット)――。こうした禁欲的なスタイルで全篇が構成され、すべての押井作品に通底する「自己存在への懐疑」というテーマが深く映し出されている。
押井守にとっては、これが初のオリジナル作品であり、作家としての出発点とも言える重要な一作であることは疑いようがない。
公開40周年を迎える2025年には、『天使のたまご』の4Kリマスター版の製作発表が日本のみならず世界各国で大きな話題を呼んだ。さらに、カンヌ映画祭やアヌシー国際アニメーション映画祭をはじめとする国際映画祭への出品を通じ、40年の時を経て本作は改めて再評価を受けることとなった。
そしていま、長年復刊を待ち望まれていた本書が、再びファンのもとへ――。
