Heavenly Delusion Debuts First Anime Trailer

Heavenly Delusion will be making its highly anticipated anime adaptation debut when it premieres next year, and the series has given fans a first look at what to expect from the new anime with its very first trailer! Masakazu Ishiguro's original manga has been one of the standout hits from Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon since it first hit its pages back in 2018, and soon the series will be finding its audience with a whole new wave of fans when it gets ready for its anime to hit screens next year. Now fans have been given the first look at how it will all play out in motion.

As Heavenly Delusion preps for its launch schedule for a release at some point in 2023 (without a tentative release date or window outside of that, unfortunately), the anime has given fans the rundown of the staff behind the new series in the works at Production I.G. While the anime has yet to reveal who will be voicing its main duo, at least fans have gotten a better idea of how the manga will be treated in the adaptation. Check out the trailer below:

"Within the safety of the walls, youths are raised in a nursery-style setting by robots. While life there may appear stale on the surface, the children are full of potential and curiosity. In many ways it is like a slice of heaven. The outside world is a hell-scape. It is almost entirely void of anything mechanical and is now inhabited by bizarre, yet powerful super-natural beings. Maru, with the aid of Kiruko, is out there crisscrossing what was once Tokyo for heaven. But after searching for so long, maybe heaven is more of an untenable dream than a potential reality."
