[@OneWorld1996]

I started this anime with quite the skepticism, I didn't know anything about it before starting it and the only reason why I watched it was because it was labeled as a mistery anime and I was running out of things to watch from this genre. After finishing it I felt pretty mad and only because this is such a hidden gem that deserves a LOT more the recognition than it has. I haven't enjoyed an anime series like HnK in YEARS. I really hope that it gets a second season.

[@kikanmuru]

idk why but it scares me somehow

[@Sarah-ilya]

Lola Rmy well, it should be scary because it plays when the lunarians appear XD

[@Dice-Z]

The theme is definitely eerie and includes elements used in Tense/Horror soundtracks. The contrast created by the sudden bizarre, somewhat uplifting melody does the job well, and the instruments make this even more unsettling. That build up and the hard-to-describe tribal/folkloric atmosphere is like a ceremony for a sacrifice. Which hey, it's basically a theme about moving statues hunting down the protagonists on a regular basis, what's not creepy about that? From the rhythm to the sounds themselves, everything was designed to make you feel anxious, and it does a good job at it if you ask me. It's a bit entrancing, fitting the Lunarians and their dancing perfectly. This track is really good and the most memorable alongside Cinnabar's if you ask me.

It's a dated reference for most, but those who have played Secret of Mana (aka Seiken Densetsu 2) will recognize an eerie, discordant tone that resembles that of "Ceremony" from its OST.
