It doesn't take itself seriously almost at all, but just enough for you to get attached to it, but not so much that it becomes your typical anime hero's jurney story. Simply put, there are very few times I've been invested and interested in a fantasy world setting more than in this one. It achieves in 13 episodes what most longer-running shows can't do in hundreds. This show is something that only comes out once or twice a decade. Our heroes aren't quite your typical heroes and seem really unlikeable but when you pass more time with them you really grow to love them, not because of character depth but beacuse of how cool they are plain and simple. The animation had a quite limited budget and it really makes every bit of it count with unique artstyle - it's incredibly well stylized and the animation quality downgrades at more mondane scenes and puts all the extra efford and budget into some of the chase/fight scenes, which look incredible at times. Gainax did an AMAZING job with this anime.
