* NoNameGiven: Some characters are never really given names. The cop is finally called "Peanut" (one of the most common fan nicknames) in the last episode. The annoying woman in the green sweater is never named until her transformation; WordOfGod refers to her as "Robogirl". The Producer Man's name has been revealed only in a few official episode summaries from Adult Swim and is also referred to "Talent Scout" on other sources.

Updated and removed some trope entries. Oz Mo now has a somewhat proper ending, and some tropes no longer apply. Might rewrite a bunch of these examples (Word Cruft, ZC Es, specifics); I'm also considering moving trivia-based entries to the Trivia section too if possible


* GainaxEnding / NoEnding: On one hand, [[spoiler:the antagonists are killed off and the heroes leave the city behind]]. On the other hand, the show offers no answers about Fitz's past and a number of other plot threads are left dangling. The DVD release is labeled as "Vol. 1", so [adult swim] could've intended to continue the series past the one internet-only episode. (That didn't seem likely at the time, but with both the 2018 special and a 3rd season on the way, that may change.)

Afterward, the odd jobs stop coming as the protagonist is revealed to be an AmnesiacHero, with a tenuous grip on reality, his put-upon boss reveals [[XanatosGambit that he's more in control than he lets on]], and the weirdness of the setting turns from SurrealHumor to SurrealHorror.
