I have seen 1-16 of the new series, and have noted the absence of manga-style humor. It is a departure from previous stuff, and a sad one, at that. Even the film Metropolis had Lamp with a candle on the back of his head, but the new Astroboy series completely lacks the funny visual gags!
Cute-little girl skipping along was cute enough, by herself. H-S' presence was ok, but I found it unnecessary.
Uran skipping and singing was enough to put a smile on my face. And anyway, as you noted H-S usually appears to lighten a serious situation.
Uran dances with Hyotantsugi in Uran Falls In Love.
