It's pretty clear this manga is not as dark as a long time ago...due to the author's recent... obsessions.... and change in style....
Not true, it isn't as dark because of what is actually happening. The darker parts were when Guts was hit badly by the entire event of the Eclipse, the mood changed completely to show this through a couple of chapters. Right now, Guts is back to his old ways of travelling with a group of friends, lessening the dark events going on around him. A fair example would be during the Golden Age arc around the middle when Guts was happy and the Band of the Hawk were doing really well, everything felt like it did now until Guts left and Griffith messed it up.
Things will take a nosedive again after the fantasia arc, I'm sure of it. Enjoy this arc for what it is, an over-extended battle with a damn persistent pirate. Not to mention we'll have some drama with Casca when the damn pirate dies.
Except last time, it didn't involve a bunch of children/loli/shota and something that looks like a harem.
