The director Mamoru Oshii was properly aware of him when he first appeared in 1985 through the new media called OVA with "Angel's Egg." The shock I felt when watching this work, which was also a hot topic in various anime magazines, remains unforgettable to this day. I thought, "This slow tempo here is just like Tarkovsky! Were there filmmakers in Japan who dared to go against the trend like this?" Now, in the 21st century, I have rewatched this work and, for the first time, truly understood it. It was a work that was too ahead of its time. The legendary "Angel's Egg" will be released in 4K in theaters. I have no choice but to see it. I probably won't be sleepy now."
