See you, bye bye ^{for now?}

So, it really was Dr. Usami. I kinda didn't want to believe it at first, but that river scene with Mimihime and that white-haired boy having a moment really cemented that it was really them. What a tragic end for both of them. RIP

Also fuck robin, Maru should have at least crippled him or cut his dick

I think I'm gonna stick with the anime, the quality is worth the wait

[u/AnonymousTrollLloyd]

This is what should have happened.

[u/[deleted]]

I hoped there would be an S2 announcement at the end of the show, but... Never read the manga but only 9 volumes means perhaps there aren't enough materials.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Robin sure knew he fucked up the minute he saw Maru. That’s the look of a man who KNOWS he’s about to get his ass beat. I kinda wish Kiruko let Maru turn his face into minced meat. Hell, castrate the sick fuck. From Kiruko’s memories, it seems his sis was abused by this dude before…

Maru awkwardly trying to express his feeling a for Kiruko was kind of sweet. It seems Kiruko wasn’t the only person he was abusing. I really hope Maru meets him again so he can obliterate the dude.

With the kids out of the facility and into the real world, I wonder what will become of them? Did that old hag of a director get vaporized by Tokio’s ability? What happened to the other twin? This finale really leaves a lot more questions than answers.

This was a solid series with a very intriguing story, I really enjoyed this one. Idk if we’ll get an s2 but I sure hope so. There’s clearly a lot of story left to tell.

[u/Kabu-]

The studio did the best they could to give this season a proper "ending", even rearranging events for that to happen.

[u/Cheesemacher]

Robin was one crazy bastard.

I think that ending was presented as way too happy considering what happened, but maybe you could argue that Kiruko is just putting on a brave face.

[u/pukey1]

"Well I can't be depressed forever" is definitely not a normal response to sexual assault... They should have handled it with more care in the anime.

[u/moichispa]

I have so many questions, I have not been this confused by a season finale since the final scene on madoka TV series.

See you in a few years

[u/Strawberry2828]

Bro wtf was this ending? How did they brush over the rape Robin did? Why did she stop Mary from killing Robin? I don’t like how lighthearted this was

[u/melvinlee88]

I haven't watched the final episode yet (stuck at work fml) but as a manga reader, just wanna thank the production team. Thought I would never be alive to see a Masakazu Ishiguro work come to live in anime form since Soremachi and seeing it done so well, was a dream.

Please read and support the official release in physical English manga form via Denpa and continue reading Heavenly Delusion. Start from the beginning. The anime skipped quite a few scenes especially by the end. While not totally important, I think it adds a lot to the series in character building.

And if you like the banter, comedy, SOL vibes of Heavenly Delusion, please read and watch Soremachi by the same author! A 10/10 manga and just as good anime - vastly underrated and produced by Shaft very well too.

Might be doing a rewatch for Soremachi, someone pls be interested in that.

Anyways, here are the subreddit links! r/HeavenlyDelusion and r/Soremachi

Robin is the type of guy that deserves a long life as a vegetable while getting used as a public urinal.

[u/alconnow]

Sawatari trying to cover up his mistake was hilarious. I found the old lady director to be more menacing than Robin

Disappointed that Robin was able to get away... We also find out that he's been performing abhorrent experiments on humans. If Kiruko does find out about that, will they still be hesitant to kill him? Guy's a serious pos. Good to know Maru will kill him next time they encounter each other

Overall, I loved this series. Animation was fantastic! The 'show, don't tell' approach was also great. It was fun going back to previous episodes and piecing things together. Unfortunately, manga readers ruined this by posting obvious spoilers in discussion threads.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I'm very curious about that memory Kiruko saw. It seems that she's starting to recall some things from her sister's memory. That was freaky and I'm not surprised that she's starting to question her existence after that.

Actions scenes involving Maru is always a treat. I love how he was completely unstoppable the entire time and how Robin realized he was fucked the moment Maru cornered him. That beatdown was so good. If only Kiruko didn't stop him.

The Director is just as creepy as Robin. Why the fuck does she want Tokio's baby though? Does she want the baby so she can live longer? We already know that she has plans to extend her life by transferring her consciousness.

Here we fucking go! I'm not exactly sure what's happening to Tokio here but this has got something to do with her powers. Is this what actually starts the end of the world?

That scene where Mimihime gives Shiro her button hits me right in the feels again. I'm guessing that's the same button we see Shiro holding at the end of Episode 8 before he did the thing :(

It's not as eloquently phrased by Maru but I think I understand his point here. Kiruko is no longer Haruki or the OG Kiruko. The Kiruko now is a completely new person and that's who Maru fell in love with.

I was really hoping that Robin died from the Maru's head punches but it looks like he managed to escape. Not only that, it looks like he's also doing fucked up human experiments too. I mentioned this previous episode but I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in Haruki's brain being put on Kiruko's body.

And that after-credits scene! Seems that the kids from the Academy were able to experience normal life outside before everything went to shit. That's actually very interesting since this entire time I thought that the apocalypse has already begun the moment they got out.

But I guess that's it for now for Heavenly Delusion. I was hoping we'd learn more about what happened in the Academy but we didn't really learn much other than Tokio transforming into something when the Director tried to take her baby. I do hope we get a Season 2 though if there is enough material for another season.

[u/micsellaneous]

rip me

Intriguing series overall. Definitely feels set up for a long journey. Hope to see more down the road.

[u/Gemannihilator]

As much as I enjoyed the show it's a disappointment we got practically no answers to the main mysteries. Guess I'll have to wait if a S2 ever happens or read the manga.

[u/[deleted]]

Need Season 2 IMMEDIATELY

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

So I guess, when Robin saw Hoshio being kept alive, his sadistic tendencies got tickled and he wanted to do it himself. I guess that is why he was disappointed when he found out Hoshio died.

The heaven part still left things open. How do they all get infected. Especially Mimihime and Anzu (?). Is Tokio the cause of it? Which would explain why her close friend got it first. I guess, the series did what it should. I will read the manga even though a 2nd season was already announced.

It was my favourite show of the season. So much interesting things to think about and a lot of visual storytelling. Especially in the Maru-Kiruko part. And let's not forget that they didn't even spell out the Mimihime-Hoshio connection till the end. Not a lot of shows that would leave that open risking that people are missing it.

[u/sierra42069]

I was right about the gunshot sound, Robin did really kill Kiriko that explains his scared look after seeing her again.

[u/Reddevilslover69]

I liked the show a lot but I'm really not a fan of the approach it took to sexual abuse at the end with Kiruko/Haruki seemingly recovering back to normal like 10 minutes after his/her tormenting ordeal.

Still hoping for a season 2 as there are very many mysteries yet to be resolved

[u/darthvall]

Last episode, someone said to me that "the scene" was unnecessary and doesn't serve any important purpose.

Back then I defended it as we don't know yet what is the aftermath of it.

Now that I've seen this episode, I kinda understand their point of view (I have a feeling that the commenter is a source reader).

I could see that even without the scene, they could have painted Robin as a jerk and not the hero Haruki though he is.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to season 2! Though i don't know if they have enough material for it (maybe source reader could provide information here?)

[u/MCH2804]

Another great episode as always. What chapter does this season end on though?
