...Although on second thought, it may just be the Manga biasing less-serious than the Anime does. In retrospect, there are a couple of moments in the anime that are jaw-droppingly effective in large part because the manga never went there. One of them gets retconned, sorta, but the other... doesn't, and has repercussions that basically cause the show's ending.
