Comment on [Clip] The Kraken Claims a Friend - Helck

This was maybe the best joke once the series got started.
The manga shifts to a much more serious and emotional tone with the occasional gag once Helck and “Anne” get portaled off the mainland.
The anime didn’t quite pull off the execution of that I think.

Yeah, I really missed the brevity of the humor after the hard turn to drama when Helck talked about his past. I think that the show needed an equivalent to Delicious in Dungeon’s episode 18 occasionally; something that allows the humor to come back into the story. I think that is part of what makes Piwi my favorite character is that there is no way to take Piwi seriously, and they are therefore able to keep just a little bit of silliness.
