In one story, a school of gifted children hides a terrible secret. In the other, teens Maru and Kiruko wander the post-apocalypse looking for “Heaven.” One is heaven, one is hell. Or is it the other way around? That’s Heavenly Delusion (also known as Tengoku Daimakyo ), a manga series by Masakazu Ishiguro that was adapted into animation last year. It shares his affinity for comedy, horror, and carefully constructed mysteries. The Heavenly Delusion adaptation featured many of the anime industry’s most prestigious artists: director of photography Kentarou Waki, art director Yuuji Kaneko and composer Kensuke Ushio. The director, Hirotaka Mori, was a fresh face. But Mori did a fantastic job, delivering one of the best series of the year. He’s a director to watch closely in the future. Crunchyroll News had the opportunity to speak to Mori virtually during his visit to Anime Central about his process.
