@@sayurilatt8213 And that's why I can call him whatever, since they don't even care about their sex, to the point of this being totally unacknowledged by them. I could say "them" or "her", but with the feminine voice I think it has more charm to call them by male pronouns, besides, in the manga they refer to each-other as "brother" and "he/him".

and also depression

[@mb7626]

@@FattestCatInThePlnt A meaningful depression based in really deep and resonant existentialist themes, though, wherein we might say that the suffering is a 'necessary vehicle' to access its more pertinent humanist themes, which ime makes it hit really different. Like we're even forced to investigate the depression and hopelessness it seemingly presents us with, where a lesser or less thematically rich work would just languish in that and a kind of shallow nihilistic despair. We manage to get placed in a world where there are no clear moral answers of who is right or wrong, everyone is just trying to find a way that they can personally accept of living into the (apparently desolate and open-ended) future, and this fundamental 'openness' imo serves as the author's response to this question of meaning and whether it can possibly exist. A subtle sense of hope and the possibility for something fundamentally new is woven into the tragedy. Even if circumstances cause characters to become twisted and vicious, it's not strictly speaking 'wrong', maybe the dark and hopeless nadir of human experience needs confrontation, and an openness to both accept it and challenge it as a part of humanity, and that even if some or many parts of our actions may be looked back on as mistaken or ill conceived, that we still could hardly have done otherwise, and that our persistence in continuing to live in spite of everything has the greatest potential to reveal the truth, even if that necessitates pain and a destruction or loss of what you were, because if what you wanted to be or to become (or what you 'think' you wanted to become at some prior juncture) existed already, no one or nothing would 'need' to undergo change in the first place. Ichikawa just seems to find a way to make all of these aesthetics and images and themes really striking and novel in terms of their sympathy and how they all seem to work together and present these common human experiences with a greater sense of gravity and saliency.

[@astern.7425]

It bothers me that such beautiful ost is so underappreciated. Also Phos is judging you

[@flowting5163]

It bothers me when I listen to this beautiful ost while looking at phos face with a weird expression

[@alexlowe2054]

I was listening to the classical composer Claude Debussy, and I realized that I remembered one of the melodies from this song. His piece "La cathédrale engloutie" has a section with a very similar melody to the piano at the start and end. A somber, calming, haunting melody full of sadness and regret. Yet, the middle of the song is filled with a full orchestra of warmth and happiness. The intro has strings that build tension leading into the main section. At 0:15, 0:28, and 1:01 you can also hear a brief jingle of the bells that play when the celestials appear. This song has so many small parts the come together to make something incredible. It practically covers all the major emotional beats of the show, and touches on all the major musical melodies you'll hear in the show. Perfection.

[@flapflapflapflap]

Phos has that "go to sleep, if you dont you'll wake up grumpy" type of message

[@samsterhamster8087]

This song never fails to give me chills. Great story, stunning graphics and amazing soundtrack? This anime is surely one of the best

[MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD] Okay so this is how I think HnK will end After Phos shattered every earth gem and forced kongo to pray, all the lunarians vanished. This resulted in a fatal malfunction, leaving Kongo permanently inactive When the moon gems came to repair Phos, they offered her to live together again, either in the moon or the earth, but Phos refused Thousands of years passed, Phos is alone in the island hopping the 7th shooting star to come. She finally did something. She finally helped someone. She got to end the war between lunarians and gems. There's nothing left for Phos, but death

[@dinokillr3564]

idk about that specifically but this will prob have a sad ending

[@SonoLendario]

Nah, in the last chapter the lunary fella said she is already almost human but he wants her to be better than humans instead. He also realized that making master pray won't be that easy, and even if he doesn't say i am pretty sure he now wants to disappear with his gem girl. There is a lot going on but as i always say the answer for everything is in the ocean. Please idiotic lunar and gem people go to the ocean qnd learn something for feck sake

[@SonoLendario]

I was freaking right boys the answers for everything is in the ocean. Next chapter phos, adamant sensei and the lunarian guy meeting up to resolve this bullshit matter. Thank god this is looking brighter now
