* [[spoiler: AdamAndEvePlot: Implied with Frank and Sarah at the end of the movie.]]

* [[spoiler: AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The Angel's narration hints at this around the end of the film. Only a statue of her is left behind.]]

* ForeShadowing: The shadow of the crazed soldier throwing the spear at Frank calls forward to [[spoiler: the shadow fish scene, namely how the fishermen throw their spears.]]
* [[spoiler: GainaxEnding: The ending of the animated half of the film. After she completes her mission, The Angel is told to "take flight". She then dives off a cliff into a pool of water and turns into an older version of herself, then into a bunch of eggs. The eggs float to the top of the pool and then they explode. The live action portions have a more traditional ending. The final shot of the film is that of a strange embryo, possibly The Angel herself, in an egg waking up.]]

* [[spoiler: PosthumousNarration: The Angel's narration throughout the movie is revealed to be this at the end.]]

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Barely averted. The movie was only legally available on extremely rare VHS copies for a long time until the film was given a digitally remastered Blu-Ray.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Aside from [[spoiler: killing off Goose and bringing The Angel to Frank]], the crazed soldier subplot doesn't go anywhere.

* BreakawayPopHit: Bet you didn't know that the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMjJQ47YxLI Carnvalito Tango]] was from this movie.

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: In Spain, it's known as La Pesadilla del Mañana- Tomorrow's Nightmare. In Germany, it's retitled After Rabbit.

* CriticalDissonance: If you look at it as a separate work rather than an adaptation of ''Anime/AngelsEgg'', the film is quite good for a B-movie.
* CultClassic: Enough to where the film is going to get a Blu-Ray release.

* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Earth's atmosphere is purified! Frank and Sarah can live on the surface! But it's still a post-apocalyptic wasteland.]]

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Not as much as the original version, but it's still there in parts.

In The Aftermath: Angels Never Sleep is a 1988 movie. It is notable for being an [[ImportationExpansion Importation Expansion]] of [[Creator/MamoruOshii Mamoru Oshii's]] film ''Anime/AngelsEgg'', adding 45 minutes of live action footage to about half an hour of the anime. In addition, it also re-edits the story to be a little bit more linear.

* LetMeTellYouAStory: Johnathan tells The Angel the Tale of Tessaria, an angel that was betrayed by a friend which led to a ruined planet. The story serves as a warning The Angel of what might happen if she's wrong about humanity. [[spoiler: She still doesn't understand, so Johnathan shows her ghost hunters chasing shadow fish to emphasise his point.]]

* DubText: The Noah's Ark conversation in the original is changed to be a tale of "Tazuru", an angel that was betrayed by a friend. This conversation mostly serves as a set up for The Angel showing Frank to her brother as well as the [[spoiler: shadow fish scene.]]

* BookEnds: Both the beginning and the ending of the live action portions have a survivor close to Frank (Goose and Sarah) discover and pick up a feather from the aninated portion.

* AbandonedHospital: Frank ends up here for a large portion of the film.

* AfterTheEnd

* CreepyChangingPainting: [[spoiler: After The Angel's egg is smashed, Frank's doodle of her face turns to one of her cradling the egg's remains.]]

* MacGuffin: The egg in the original movie becomes this.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Goose talks at length about Frank's girlfriend early in the film. She is never brought up again.

* LonelyPianoPiece: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMjJQ47YxLI Carnvalito Tango]] certainly fits.
