| This show was fkd up on some berserk level. But I think the story is full circle with it's explanations. 7 out of 10 for me because that psychological shit fkd me up. |
| This one felt like some old school anime that they don't make anymore. And I loved it. |
 |
| After all that, how could you even still forgive Robin? I really don't get it, he should've died right there and then. Only four children made it outside, I wonder what happened to the rest, especially Tokio. And apparently Usami is Shiro.. There's still a lot of things yet to be uncovered, so now to wait for season 2. |
 |
| I have zero clue what happend half the time, but I can say that this one of the best anime to come out this season. |
| What-- I guess a second season would be needed, but dang I don't know if I'd follow a second season. I kinda found out all I wanted to find out, to be honest. Overall, this was a pretty okay anime. It's not quite a survival anime, so I was happy the main characters/kids at the school weren't just getting killed left and right or something kinda-- I'm not fond of that type of thing, so that's good. Not bad, but not something I'll go out of my way to recommend to folks unless they happen to be asking for something similar. |

It's one of those stories thats get better on a reread but I agree that this is... somewhat hard to recommend. I've had to properly warn people about the episode 12 plot and some opted to skip it the show entirely due to that. |

| Fuck fuck fuck |
| just what the hell is going on in this world there is seriously too many questions left unanswered. |
 |
| Episode was pretty decent and good thing she overcome it quite fast. Looking forward to season 2 |
| id been thinking that maybe the two stories are taking place in separate time periods and the ending makes me think thats even more of a possibility now. kind of upset i watched this so soon because there probably wont be a season 2 for a while and i really suck at watching things far apart, i have bad memory and its just not the same starting something i love after its been so long. but i also hate re watching things |

| Gotta be honest I am a bit disappointed by the facility plot. They teased the awakening of the children to their rather obvious conclusion for half the season and then it just goes nowhere. Yeah sure Tokio has something happening to her but that's about it. That was pretty "meh". Especially since the Asura stuff was teased quite a bit. Also the reaction to the rape was also quite "oh well that happened .... anyway the show must go on". Quite weird tbh. DoctorWeeb said: Last 2 episodes have been quite controversial. I'm not a big fan of that forced rape scene in E12. It did nothing plot wise and could be replaced with something less disgusting and much more intriguing. The way they did Robin is disappointing. For some reason he became just a one dimensional villain guy obsessed with sex. Even if you are a psychopath, even if you haven't been laid last couple years. Can you imagine meeting an old friend/buddy and first thing you do is tie him and rape him. Also he is basically raping a 10yo boy and somehow it's okay to show because he is in a body of his sister? Masakazu Ishiguro's interest in kids is a little concerning. Other than that I enjoyed this season. I would love to see more of Maru's and Kiriko's adventures without kids kissing or being raped. Not so fun fact: Rape is always forced. And of course it did something plot wise: Robin is a rapist, Robin raped the sister all the way back when they lived at the Orphanage. That's just what it is and the brothers brain is slowly catching up to that fact. Lot's of media in the world is about or includes rape as a plot point. Why not this series? I also don't know what you watched but the rape wasn't shown, this isn't "Redo of a psycho mangaka". |
| I had a weird feeling about Robin. Kiruko being so obsessed with him just made me feel so anxious, unfortunately, that anxiety was well-founded. I wonder what the story is about the spider in the room. This show was fantastic. Really looking forward to the second season hopefully. Honestly Maru and Kiruko's relationships is nice to see develop. |

DoctorWeeb said: There are discussions about this all over internet. Check for instance that article on Reddit that explain why the Kiruko's response to this event is totally realistic : https://www.reddit.com/r/HeavenlyDelusion/comments/14g29nq/kirukos_response_clearing_misconceptions/Rape is a big thing to include anywhere. Not because "oH mY gOd iT's RaPe" but because it drastically impacts all characters. Here it did absolutely nothing. Even you wrote that they just glossed over it. On top of that, it's obvious from the beginning that that's the way the two kids cope with terrible events: they just move forward very quickly. They've seen a several people get killed and eaten by man-eater, Maru had to kill a woman he barely knew while being 15, they saw a man commit suicide to join her in death. And don't forget this is still an ongoing story. There is an impact on Kiruko. Maybe not the cliché drama people expect, but a real impact. As for the riverside scene, you missed the important part of this scene: it's not that Maru confess again, it's that he tells Kiruko that's she's a new person, not Haruki anymore, and she accepts it. That's the meaning of the last image of Haruki's photograph floating on the water: she's finally leaving him behind. |
| nice twist to the story, and a friggin' cliffhanger 8/10 enjoyable nonetheless |
 |
| So they really had to add Rape+NTR shit vibe. I was kinda of fearing/expecting that Robin would turn out to be shit, but I really was wishing that this plot twist wouldn´t turn out to be true, but unfornutely it did and I am suddenly very dissapointed. Suddenly felt like about 10 episodes went to waste =/ And ngl, if that was all about Robin´s "arc"/story that was a very lame/shit plot twist. Anyway, I feel like there are a few plot holes, maybe they will explain in the future or maybe I didn´t get it? For example... about Asura. She suddenly "I think I know my purpose" and went to hang herself and that was it. What was that? Why that? What is her story? This anime also really did give Promised Neverland vibe xD Maybe it´s an alternative universe xD In general a wtf of a ride, 8/10 |

| Kind of an underwhelmindg ending to be honest, however, a lot of ersolution is still heart felt. I wonder what role Robin will play in the future, also Haruki and Maru's bond is stronger than ever. If it wasn't obvious enough, the kids shown frequently are in the past, way before whatever happened in the world as we see at the city skyline at the end, also, it's becoming mroe apparent that Maru is one of the new born twins, probably the one with the circle underneath his foot, as circle is Maru in Japanese, other than other indications that they are one and the same person. |
| imagine being such a boomer you want to transplant your brain into a zoomer just to stay younger lmao omegacringe kek. |
 |
| The story is ok, but not anything great, crazy monsters is not my thing. And the story is something too similar to The Maze Runner or The Island movies, unoriginal. What I hated was the gender swap, at the last episode it still doesn't show if the brain was really switched or she lost her mind. She was alive so she killed herself to save brother? doubtful. I also hated how anime makes same gender love/sex something good, while while man with woman sex is shown as rape or ending with unwanted babies. The author forces his lgbt propaganda on unconscious people, making it look like something normal and good. The art style is not my type, the cities were drawn badly for 2023 year, but same for some face and movement animations... The OP was average and ED bad mostly because of songs.. Overall bad anime. The only good thing about is the secret of what the kids hiruko will do, how Maru knows about word Hiruko. Also how that robot made the attack and blew up few places in school? also why? What the two doctors planned? OH and how that Tarao and alien guy who died at school was killed if he was Hiruko? |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Would have liked some actual payoff for the “mysteries” they set up, just seems incoherent |

| Well, it's not like the story is actually completed. As a manga reader, I can tell you it goes on and mysteries are slowly but surely resolved. That's why I agree with previous posters that a second season is mandatory. :-) |
| Damn the granny director wanted to steal Tokio's baby.. It felt so good when Maru cornered Robin, I was expecting Kiruko to jump in and stop him. The ending scene really hyped me up, hopefully we get a s2 because Heavenly Delusion was such a good watch. |
