Trivia:

The final scene in Birth looks like it should explain everything but instead shows only two characters talking “in Heaven” without any dialogue. Kaname’s explanation was that the next step in evolution would be too advanced for mere mortals to comprehend. It was commonly believed that the movie’s budget ran out before the post-production dubbing could be completed.

Birth was one of only a handful of productions by the impressive but short-lived Kaname Production Co. in the mid-1980s. It was also one of the first releases for the new homevideo market.

There were English-language video releases in England (World of the Talisman) and the U.S. (Planet Busters) in the late 80's and early 90's, but they were kiddified and not faithful translations. Thankfully ADV released it on dvd in 2004 in it's original, uncut form.
