film's "astounding special effects and clean, crisp animation". [91] Chris Beveridge comments on the Japanese audio, which brings "the forward soundstage nicely into play when required.

Ishiguro called this premise as "transsexual sci-fi", alluding to the possibility of Maru still loving Kiruko despite knowing the truth. [19] In
contrast to And Yet the Town Moves, Heavenly Delusion employs a
darker tone, most specifically the delusions children have. One of the children, Tokio, lives in a mysterious facility.
