[Everything] was looking really cool until [the last second came and ruined everything.] I guess this one will join the endless and ever growing pile of potentially cool anime ruined [by comedy]...I just hope they keep it to a minimum at least...

Why do you dislike the comedic moment? Just curious.

^^^^ I dunno... maybe because 99.9% of the current anime series are either comedies or feature a ton of "comedy" moments that would make a 4 year old cringe? Rolling Eyes Seriously, I can count with the fingers of one hand the series I've watched this year that didn't have any slapstick/chibi moments that just kill the mood and ruin everything. They are the anime equivalent of the canned laughs that used to be popular in live action sitcoms a while ago... Nobody would want to watch Game of Thrones, The Godfather or any given live action movie/series that's not supposed to be a comedy with that awful canned laugh ruining everything, yet for some reason many anime fans (specially nowadays) seem to be ok and even grateful to have all these chibi/slapstick moments in their anime, regardless of how serious they are supposed to be so what do I know?...

Looks like a pretty action-packed and wild romance story.

I haven't gotten far in the manga, but it looks like Indian has an actual name now? Before, he was just referred to as "Indian" with his real name unknown.

I share your concern, hopefully it will not be as bad as we think it is Confused

The Godfather had some light and (by today’s standards unintentional) comedy.

I know that Game Of Thrones had some dark humor and also some unintentional comedy as well.

Neither had canned laughs, though, so my point stands...
