BiSH

Heavenly Delusionis one of the best anime of 2023 . It ’s a cryptic show , alternating between the post - apocalyptic journey of Maru and Kiruko and a mysterious schoolhouse . While the opening mainly focalize on the former plot line , it does still suggest at the latter through subtle symbolism . This symbolism take a crap the opening night almost Evangelion - esque in the good direction possible . However , while these teases are cool and hint at the overall nature of the show , what truly make this gap cracking is the perfectly beautiful animation . The brio search implausibly naturalistic and yet somewhat off at the same time , founder it a slightly redoubtable feel , just like the show itself .

Jujutsu Kaisenreleased two great openings this twelvemonth , but the first is just slightly good than the second .
