Okay I just learned something about the song in this trailer that absolutely blew my mind. It’s literally just one guy playing saxophone done in one take. The vocals you hear isn’t an overdub, it’s literally him howling THROUGH his saxophone. Absolutely insane.

[@carterw70]

Yeah, Colin Stetson is a beast. He wrote and performed the soundtrack to the move Hereditary and rewrote an entire three movement symphony. He is one of the most talented saxophonists I’ve ever heard, and his music reflects that. Check him out, with him making the music, it’s going to make this an amazing series.

Watch Flowers of Evil. Same director, and his previous experiment in unsettling anime. It's a cult classic for that reason. The team made extensive use of rotoscope to provide a perpetually "off" atmosphere. Paired with its subject matter and soundtrack, it worked like a charm. And then there's Mushishi, which, while not as unsettling, has a lot of offputting moments thanks to its own strong atmosphere. They couldn't have picked a better man for this job.

[@purelysmetalnightcore]

@@97Multiphantom I actually speculate it was part of the spiral's pull. Things steadily got crazier and more violent and yet only the bf wanted to move. Despite Kirei's family witnessing her hair being possessed and trying to kill her and her own experiences with it, no one proposed moving. I think her bf was inexplicably the only person in the entire village that had the sense that it needed to be evacuated, probably because he was consistently going out of town every day and saw how it was affecting people first. I think the spiral, which wanted to be seen, had already planted a seed in everyone there, to not leave no matter what (or at least until it was too late to do so).

I'm really glad they are choosing to animate this in black and white, and staying true to the manga. I think that was the best decision on their part. When horror manga/art is done in solely black and white, it forces your eyes to try to decipher the grotesque monstrosities before you. When you add color into the mixture, it takes away from that fear factor because it's easier for the viewer to make out exactly what they are looking at.
