The upcoming science fiction anime Heavenly Delusion painted a tale of two worlds—the idyllic inside and the devastated outside—in a gorgeous new trailer that was released today. The trailer also gave us our first listen to the series' opening theme song, "Innocent arrogance," which was performed by BiSH (Godzilla Singular Point), and announced that the series will premiere on April 1st.

Heavenly Delusion is an anime series that is based on the manga written by Masakazu Ishiguro and is being produced by Production I.G. The series is being directed by Hirotaka Mori (Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale assistant director), and series composition is being handled by Makoto Fukami (Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka). Character designs are being handled by Utsushita, and music is being handled by Kensuke Ushio (Chainsaw Man).
Denpa, which releases the manga's official English version, describes the first volume as such:
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.
