I wish shows would take themselves more seriously. I'm sick of ironic humor that feels like a lack of confidence in their character and world. Immerse me dammit.

Something can be inherently whimsical and not serious without being self-deprecating or ironic. Some media is emotionally and thematically genuine (and better for it), but that doesn't make it "serious." It knows it's absurd and owns it instead of getting self-serious in a hollow attempt to look more mature and profound (This show) or playing off the absurdity to shelter itself from criticism (Marvel Movies).
You people keep getting hung up on how serious is used as a synonym for sincerity in a non-media context. In media it means something different: that the work is meant to be considered deeply, and occasionally that its presentation is grave. Which is what this show does. It's pretentious and hollow. It's trying to give the illusion its something more mature than what it is.

I've never seen this show. Can you give episode examples where that's the case and why?

This. I prefer when the characters in a story assume that the world that they live in is the real one, and act appropriately given the context of the scenario. No matter how absurd the situation, a character being able to think rationally without having to break the 4th wall is best.

The melodrama in the first episode with Chiro and Jinmay

Fuck you, Antauri's death and resurection was kino as fuck

you said this in the last thread, do you have anything else?
