Heavenly Delusion is a series that feels like the crazy baby of Attack on Titan and The Promised Neverland, which introduces a world of supernatural creatures that roam the world as the series’ protagonists venture. With the manga debuting in 2018, it should come as no surprise that creator Masakazu Ishiguro’s series would eventually get an anime adaptation. While the series was supposed to release sometime this year, Production IG has narrowed it down to the month when fans can expect to dive into the series.

Production IG, the producers behind the new anime series are well known in the anime world, with the studio responsible for such series including FLCL, Psycho-Pass, Blood-C and Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex to name a few. After Heavenly Delusion, the production house will then animate another major Shonen Jump series Kaiju No. 8arriving in 2024.

Heavenly Release window

Heavenly delusion confirmed that the series will air its first episode in April, sharing two new key images that will give fans an idea of ​​how the supernatural series will be animated by the creators of Production IG:

The manga’s original producers, Denpa, took the opportunity to release an official description of the series for those who haven’t had the chance to immerse themselves in the bizarre world of Heavenly delusion:

“Within the safety of the walls, youngsters are raised in a nursery-like environment by robots. While life there may seem ancient on the surface, the children are full of potential and curiosity. In many ways, it is like a piece of heaven”. The outside world is a hellish landscape. It is almost entirely devoid of anything mechanical and is now inhabited by bizarre, yet powerful supernatural beings. Maru, with Kiruko’s help, is out there criss-crossing what was once Tokyo to heaven. But after searching for so long, the sky may be more of an unsustainable dream than a potential reality.”
