Mamoru Oshii's legendary anime films, from Ghost in the Shell to Angel's Egg, sometimes subtly evoke very video gamey logic. And that's no coincidence. The iconic director is, in fact, also a gamer, and he hasn't been able to pull himself away from one of Bethesda's post-apocalyptic wastelands for eight entire years.
While talking to TheFilmStage about the theatric re-release of Angel's Egg, Oshii was asked whether or not he's been playing any games lately. The director expressed that he has a "deep respect for all of Hideo Kojima's works," which perhaps isn't too much of a surprise considering Oshii makes a bonkers cameo in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach as an eccentric pizza chef (AKA pizza guy.)
