That's what I like about this series, a fair amount of characters aren't people you can fully hate. They take their fights seriously, but outside of it are people you'd want to have a beer with. The series doesn't take itself too seriously, but also not comically spoof like, it has a humane flair to it all as you can tell the people who made this love martial arts and fighting and want to flesh it out while taking it up to an 11.
