Angel's Egg

Based on the genres (Animation, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi) and the plot, the audience's emotional responses to "Angel's Egg" are dominated by a profound sense of Melancholy due to its decaying, desolate world and themes of loss. This is closely followed by Confusion and Curiosity, driven by the film's sparse dialogue, obscure philosophical/theological topics, and highly ambiguous, open-ended plot. Awe is evoked by the stunning, surreal animation and the grand, decaying gothic architecture, while a pervasive feeling of Disturbing and Sadness stems from the eerie atmosphere, "restless shadows," and the girl's isolated, burdened existence. Anxiety and Fear contribute to the unsettling mood, alongside Empathy for the protagonist. The "shocking" ending specifically elicits Surprise.
