It's so eponymous. A lot of endings are just random bullshit stuck on to the end of a show (some openings as well) so you get these situations where the ending is a huge mood whiplash.

One Punch Man will be another if that ever comes to Toonami. The ending is nothing like the rest of the show.
Gotta sell those singles somehow! Who cares if they fit the show
Eh, OPM never gets as grimdark as shows like Deadman Wonderland so the whiplash is never that big
Do they depart the manga at all? I haven't sat down and watched it all since I want to wait for it to hit Toonami.
Not really. There's a few minor differences with how scenes play out (certain parts are also left out) but otherwise sticks to the manga for the most part, ending with the
SUPER ULTRA MEGA RADICALLY AWESOME TO THE XTREME BOROS
There is some added/anime-original stuff (mostly in episodes 5 and 10 from my recollection) and some plot points for future seasons get brought up even though they weren't introduced in the manga at that point
but if you've read the manga (Murata version) through the
you should be familiar with all the points the anime hits.

Boros arc
A lot more cautious optimism and uncertainty from what I recall.

Shinich took a potato chip....and ate it!?
More like hey, this up and comer (and the serial killer) might know something, let's bring them in on this top secret quasi military task force. The APA. DAMN!
Yup. It feels as if time went by fast.
Finally someone noticed. I made APA jokes for two weeks straight during TOONAMI.
Over a decade of watching wrestling will do that to ya.
It's been a hell of a ride.

When did I join? I know I probably wouldn't have kept with Toonami if it wasn't for you guys, and if it wasn't for Bass I definitely wouldn't have watched One Piece.
I wouldn't have kept up because I know Toonami Twitter mostly died even before I came here, and as such, I was kind of without a reason a reason to watch it vs just watch shows I like via my funi+crunchyroll subs.

I not only worked most Saturdays when nu Toonami premiered but was also pretty much done with ASA, having not seen a show regularly since the first part of Code Geass. The Saturdays I didn't work I ended up either playing vidja games or tabletop games with friends.
My first regular thread appearance was saying that Naruto Filler was awful. Then I kinda got sucked in again as E7 was ending and had so many people in here trashing it. I love that show. Then I just kinda...kept watching.
Another fun story: I was kinda tired on that fateful April Fools night and literally turned my TV off thinking it would just be Bleach maybe with some fart noises or The Room again. Literally minutes before. If I had seen that night live I don't know what would have happened.
I also remember tuning in at my folk's house to one of the very early episodes of DMWL and going what the fuck. I also saw maybe half an episode of Casshew a few months later.

Were there any Canadians on here when Toonami came back?
Does Canada even get CN now? They've always had alternatives.

....Oh am I wrong thread? Is this wrestling?
"Limit of Questions"?

Eureka 7's dub messes up the plot?
What does it remove/alter? I've only watched the dub.
Now that I bought the whole series, when I rewatched it and got to the Limit of Questions part, I honestly thought it was some Calculus thing with Limits.
That's it.
In the original its more like, hey, there's too much sentient matter/life in this universe...changed to the cool sounding but really dumb limit of questions.

Anime and wrestling have strong thematically similar storylines.
So... pretty much "I Wanna Be The Strongest In The World?"

Well wrestling matches and anime often start strong, but ultimately leave people feeling bored and hallow by the end.
And both rarely focus on the coolest characters.
...You're not wrong about that.
Never read it, but based on other's impressions, very minimally. Final fight of Season 1 is with
Boros

I was with you from the beginning in spirit. I was waiting for my account approval when the April Fools revival happened.
I sometimes wonder if Dewey is just crazy or if he and Holland really are from a crazy cult family that kills the patriarch every generation to sate the bloodlust of the planet. I mean, he did kill his dad and he's really pissed about his brother, yet was willing to work closely with him until his brother screwed him by defecting.

We got Cartoon Network a few years ago. It's a mix of classic and modern Cartoon Network shows with a couple of Canadian made shows mixed in there. No Toonami though.
The backbone of CN's new animated shows during the live action era were Canadan or Canadian co-productions.

No need to say sorry. Our shows (most of them) are shite. They tend to be either bad grossout shows, obnoxious or outright unwatchable. Anyone here know My Life Me? Or perhaps you've seen a certain little show called Wayside? All Canadian made with the animation reflective of how much effort they put into them.
And you can just call me Shin, Raxus. Feels odd having someone refer to me as RPG.
Thank god Pendelton Ward came along and practically saved the network, fuckery aside.
Funny enough the creator behind Johnny Test has a show on CN right now called Supernoobs. Nobody just gives a fuck it is on. And yes it is as annoying as it sounds.
Sure thing Shin *Whipcrack*

The most deadly drinking game. Take a shot every time you hear the whipcrack sound in Johnny Test.
Also Supernoobs, really? Are we back in the early-mid 2000's? Does every episode title have some kind of noob pun?
Those damn whipcracks....

...I am not amused. Cartoon Network's certainly got a real keeper with this guy. /s
