Why Watch This

Expelled from Paradise: Resonance from the Heart returns to the high-concept science-fiction world of its 2014 predecessor, where humanity's relationship with virtual existence and physical reality remains at the centre of the story. The sequel expands that world with new characters, new conflicts and questions surrounding artificial intelligence, justice and human beliefs.

Best For

Best suited for anime fans who enjoy science fiction, cyberpunk-inspired worlds, artificial intelligence, futuristic technology, mecha action and philosophical questions about humanity. Fans of the original Expelled from Paradise should be especially interested in seeing the returning creative team expand the universe.

The CinePearl Take

Resonance from the Heart has the advantage of bringing back the creative team behind the original while introducing a new group of characters and conflicts. Its futuristic setting provides more than a backdrop for action: the film uses the tension between digital existence and physical reality to explore ideas about identity, justice, belief and artificial intelligence. The combination of 3DCG mecha action and philosophical science fiction makes it a distinctive anime sequel.
