It's just a persona 4 reference
don't think too hard about it

"God has answered our prayers, and the answer is no."
Lucas Morales
Innocence, meaning, hope, good juxtaposed with jadedness, meaninglessness, despair and evil.
The egg/girl represent the former, the man/cross the latter. He destroys her egg with the cross, sex visual metaphor. Creation was abandoned, Noah's flood happened, stripped the world of meaning.
Personal interpretation differs, speaking for the creator, this was made during a dark period of his life. I think depending on your mood it's either a story of nihilism trumping meaning, or a more charitable, kind interpretation can be losing what defined your existence and yet still struggling to convince yourself it means something.

Basically the dark souls of anime
William Nelson
The egg is empty and your faith is foolish
Mason Ramirez
I didn't get it either but it was referenced in Dark Souls 3 so it must be profound somehow.
Bravo Miyazaki.
Jace Martinez
Then what was the deal with all does eggs with those birds in them in the ending?
And if Noah's flood happened after he broke the egg then why was he telling the story of it before, and implicating that he was on the arch.

You can't make an Angel omelette without Angel Beat-ing a few Angel's Egg.

The egg is clinging on to hope that there is something inside. The next stage of life. But when it was open nothing is there. The egg represents an idea of death. There is nothing inside but we don't know that until it shattering happens. Then you find there is nothing. Like after death, there is nothing.
Ryder Murphy
The anime was meant to be up to interpretation.
A couples of the anons were spot on with their interpretations, even if a bit too nihilistic. I would argue it's a critique on religion more than anything, due to all the symbolism.
Robert Anderson
What was the point of these water containers? Was that just her searching for some purpose?
Luis Stewart
A world of endless Ahabs chasing shadows of great whales that exists only in the faded memory of a world that once had much in it, wonder at the very least. Hideo Kohima owes everything he gained from competing Death Standing to this story. Fucking hack.

Childs wonder

The egg represents faith. The man with the cross is depressed Jesus. Everyone has forgotten how to believe in God / hope / the bird except the angel, therefore the man breaks the egg to see what's inside, and there's nothing. Basically Jesus isn't enough to restore the world's faith if there wasn't any to begin with.

You're free to see and interpret according to your own feelings and ideas. That's part of the experience and could make it more meaningful to you personally. There's no simple canon message or plot waiting to be decoded.

Ark of souls wants to end the planet or leave, there is a missing soul go jesus and find her, "satan" give her an egg to take care of it, forcing her to live and mess with god. in the earth there are shadows of the humanity cruelty and why god decided to nuke them, but there are good souls to is worth keep.
jesus find her, destroy the egg she dies.
her soul goes to the ark and now they can leave and fuck this planet and satan

Not everything needs to be "got". Sometimes it's just about what it makes you FEEL. You do FEEL, don't you?
Jayden Bennett
you remember the angel in a cross in Eva? It's a reference to that. Everything is flooded, that's a reference to the LCL
