《天使之卵》，1985

天使之卵

日本先锋派导演押井守和天野喜孝合作的OVA动画，全片长71分钟，德间书店于1985年发行，并于2007年以DVD形式再版。

1984年，天野与曾经同在“龙之子”共事的押井守合作实验性动画作品《天使之卵》，当时被称为“一部为两人自己而作”的作品。动画故事内容深奥，画面唯美如梦似幻。这部作品被誉为日本动画OVA的开山之作。除了是难得一见的押井守早期的代表成名作之一，天野本人在以后的个人画集中也几乎没有收录为这部作品所绘制的插画，使得该作更显珍贵。

The animation was a feat for the two artists themselves with a recondite story and dreamy visuals. The piece is known as the founder of the OVA animation in Japan, and it is one of the most famous early works by Mamoru Oshii. Most of the later collections of Amano haven’t include the illustrations from this animation, which made this masterpiece even more precious.
