Anime aficionados, you better buckle up! The mind-bending, soul-stirring anime series, “Heavenly Delusion,” might have left you stranded in existential limbo with its cliffhanger of a finale, but don’t lose hope. We’re here to dissect the enigmas and speculations swirling around the highly anticipated season 2.
Between Heaven and Hell: Where Does Heavenly Delusion Stand?
“As fans, we are not just wishing for a second season, but we need it for our mental peace.”
Words have never rung truer. “Heavenly Delusion,” based on the staggering manga series by Masakazu Ishiguru, has become a phenomenon that’s hard to ignore. After Production I.G. unleashed the dark secret of Kiruku in episode three, the anime took a one-way ticket to Trendsville. A shock to the system, indeed!
“The series stayed true to its core idea that human decency is nothing but a heavenly delusion in a lawless world,” says a fan.
“But then, watching it from our world built on laws made the series all the more unsettling.”
Season 2: The Elephant in the Room
Despite its chilling finale, the first season of “Heavenly Delusion” didn’t drop a single crumb about its renewal, leaving fans in a state of dire anticipation. “Will there be a Heavenly Delusion Season 2?” you ask. Well, it’s complicated.
Production I.G. is playing it coy. Official confirmations? Zilch. But let’s dig into the facts: The anime has scored stellar ratings on platforms like MyAnimeList and IMDb and has even become one of the most iconic works of Production I.G.—second only to the Psycho-pass series.
“So, we expect that there’ll be a Heavenly Delusion season 2,” hints a devout fan.
The Manga Dilemma: A Waiting Game?
While fans are holding their collective breath, the manga series is crawling at a monthly pace. The anime has already devoured more than two-thirds of the existing 55 chapters, leaving only a meager portion for a full-fledged second season. Unless Masakazu Ishiguru goes into overdrive, don’t hold your breath for a season 2 before 2024, or even 2025.

What to Expect in the Aftermath of Pandemonium
Plotwise, we’re staring at a constellation of loose threads. The unsettling dynamics between Robin and Kiruku, Tokio’s mysterious child, and the ambiguous “outside of the outside world” will hopefully get untangled in the next season. It’s about time we get some answers!
Who’s Who: The Behind-the-Scenes Wizards
Speculation about the cast and crew for the next season is rife. If Production I.G. stays in the game, we’re probably looking at a familiar lineup. Hirotaka Mori could reprise his directorial role, with Makoto Fukami wielding the pen as the head scriptwriter. And oh, if you loved the sonic landscapes of the first season, Kensuke Ushio is likely to return as the music composer.
Expect our favorite voices to return, from Gen Satō as Maru to Hibiku Yamamura as Tokio. After all, would it even be the same without them?
Conclusion: Unanswered Questions & Unquenchable Thirst
Yes, we’re all aboard the Heavenly Delusion hype train, but it seems the journey to season 2 is a marathon, not a sprint. So while you’re in this purgatory of wait, you might as well dive into the manga starting from chapter 38.
With the tangle of intrigue left by the first season, it’s not just about if season 2 will happen, but when it will grace our screens. We’ll keep our ear to the ground and our eyes on the horizon for any updates. So, stay tuned because when it comes to “Heavenly Delusion,” expect the unexpected!
