I just finished Angel’s Egg a little while ago. It was painfully beautiful and hollow.
I knew there was a lot of Amano in the designs but didn’t realize this was also with Oshii until after. He has his way of portraying Christian elements with something like a cold, vacant, divinity.
Great art piece. I didn’t get to chew much on the narrative or meaning, since it got swallowed whole by that massive pan out at the end. But I’m also at the end of a long test-stretch overnight.
