I am disgusted by this recommendation. The shows are nothing alike.
Also we as americans must clap at every scene that is amazing for the finale. It is only right to serenade saitama with the sound of our clap.

I had lofty expectations for this episode, but somehow MADHOUSE exceeded all of them.
Fucking incredible. The animation blew my mind. Meteoric Burst holy shit.
They even managed to improve on the source material in parts. The fact that Boros and Saitama were kindred souls was emphasized fantastically.
For real though, the climax was bloody amazing. The music swells as Saitama finally goes on the offensive... but it's almost as if the music is meant for Boros instead. HE is the one finally living his dream. HE is experiencing what Saitama longs most for. HE is the hero fighting against impossible odds. The fire in his eyes. The very same beating of his heart. He pores all of that rekindled passion into one final attack.
Then the calm after. Both parties lie to themselves and to each other that the fight was fulfilling and worthwhile. But not for long. The reality sets in that it was never a fight at all. Boros dies with a bittersweet taste on his lips, and Saitama once again walks away from a fight unfulfilled, hopes dashed. But this time he walks away with the knowledge that, by extension, perhaps no one in the universe can offer what he wants.
It was surprisingly touching.
Alright, I'm done waxing poetic. But damn I really enjoyed that.

Did I miss something with Metal Knight / Genos? That kind of went nowhere.

It's still an unresolved plot point in the manga.
You didn't miss anything. The guy just gave an advice about Metal Knight.
You know just as much as we know. It's a plot like that'll be explored in the future.
The S Class heroes were fantastic this episode too. Of course, Boros's fight was the highlight.
It'll be difficult for another anime to top this battle. This anime, overall... it's simply too good. I don't even know if a future season two will be as good as this one if they don't get the same team there.

I'm guessing Metal Knight is the cyborg Genos was looking for in the beginning of the show. Sucks that it will probably be years before we see more of this. Show was amazing and I don't even really like anime.
Will re-watch the inevitable dub and buy the blu ray.

pretty much
show didn't have enough filler, is another way to put it. it could have done with more quiet character moments in the second half instead of relying on the routine mix of action and stereotypes
Yupu gifs are awesome, THANKS!!

Ishikawa Kaito (Genos) and Furukawa Makoto (Saitama). If there's a S2 I really hope they get these two back, and as much as the original animation team as possible. I'm really impressed with Makoto's range with Saitama in particular. He nailed bored, comical, excited and serious Saitama so well it will be hard hearing anyone else in the role. Hopefully the dub gets a similarly talented VA.

I don't expect them to, without a reason. But a second season could happen any number of years down the line, and I'm hoping nothing prevents the original cast or team from coming back.

Still uncommon. Gintama has been going off and on for a decade plus with a huge cast and I don't think any VAs have changed. Even characters from DECADES back like Char Aznable or Goku retain the same VA (barring age changes in Char's case)

like how far ahead is the manga from where the anime ended?

The anime ended at Vol 7. There are 10 manga volumes. The webcomic is much further ahead of the manga.

the anime adapts the manga version so it seems like we'll be in for a wait.

The good news is that Murata has expressed that he wants to make S2 happen, so he will probably speed up his redraw if he is genuine. OPM manga and ONE webcomic update on an irregular basis.

The anime covered the first 7 volumes of the Murata manga/redrawn version. There're 10 volumes so far of the redrawn version. The original ONE webcomic is way ahead of where Murata is in the story. Madhouse seems to be going exclusively by Murata's designs so it's gonna take a while for a second season.

If you're talking about the episode I think you're talking about, then that's the dumbest reasoning ever to stop watching lmao. If anything, it should make you want to see what happens next.
didn't think I would get to use this so soon but...
you're so wrong it pains me. Chimera Ant arc is GOAT.
sry I just really cant get over how dumb this looks
BUT HEY EVERYTHING UP TO THAT IS SWAG AS HELL WOULD DEF RECOMMEND

People who I know hated the Chimera arc because at that point it got too dark for them.

People hate it because its slow and focuses on a lot of minor characters. It's pretty simple.
