Most forgettable manga ever
>>
Yet you remembered it
>>
>>288910567
>>
They forced you to forget about it because the author is a pedo, and no one wants to be associated with him anymore.
But the manga on itself, had a lot of potential and was pretty good.

No joke, this felt better as a gap filler for the lack of Dragon Ball in our lifes, than any fucking sequel they could think of that came out during Toriko's and after Toriko's run.
It felt like a mix between HnK and Dragon Ball if that makes sense. It was really good.

I like it. Usually once a year i reread it. Design is wacky like looney toons, some big mons are cool, fun technique, but that end arc? Fuck that. What a stupid conclusion.
>>
>>288910892
What potential you mongoloid? Toriko had a great manga. Better than One Piece, Naruto and Bleach for sure.
>>
>>288910583
Damn
>>
>>288911013
It's because the author was a pedo and that started to surface in western circles.
Back in 2011 no one would pay much attention to that fact. Not many people would know where to begging to make a problem out of it.
Nowadays?
Oh man. If Toriko was brought back to life we would never hear the end of it. The threads would reach 90k likes on Twitter just with people fuming and malding because a convicted pedophile has a manga. lol
Shit, we see that happening to Ruroni Kenshin's author already. People were recently stroking Araki's ego because he disrespected that guy.
>>
This thread was made by some Instagram retard that overuses the "Industry plant" term and you can tell by those two wall of texts. What a worthless thread.
>>
>>288911235
thanks, I did my best.
>>
>>288911125
I don't know if that's really it. It just felt like the hype around it never truly realized and the execs maybe felt a bit embarrassed about trying to make it the next OP and failing, so they buried their "mistake".

Pretty much
>>
>>288910567
What do you mean? One of the best battle shounen to even come out of jump. And it felt like an actual adventure, unlike OP. The anime was a disaster that killed all momentum. It really is like a reverse KnY or JJK.
>>
>>288910567
It's actually not forgettable at all because people always bring it up when talking about excessively shilled manga
>>
>>288911125
>pedo
Lmao. Reminder that she was a 16 year old whore and the age of consent in japan at the time was 13.
>>
>>288910567
I actually liked when it was about how rare/hard it was to get an ingredient or get a recipe right. The fight stuff was average shounenshit, but that aspect of them having to figure out all this specific stuff was always fun.
>>
>>288910567
it has the best shonen fights ever and i will not argue that fact

I read like 10.chapters and the gag that toriko eats a lot got old fast

Not forgettable for you at least
>>
>>288910567
Author was a pedo
>>
>>288911125
No. It was because the Toei anime completely butchered the series. An echo chamber of westoids whining about pedos doesn't matter if the product is actually successful.
>>
>>288915093
So he's like /a/
>>

Having sex with a 16 year old doesn't make you a pedo

>was pretty good
Blandest garbage ever. It was like a pot-pourri of every popular shonen at the time. I'm convinced every faggot Toriko apologist read it as their first shonen.
>>
>>288910567
I feel like it could've been better as a HxH spin-off in the style of MHA Vigilantes, considering the author straight up ripped Gourmet hunters from there

>>288910567
I liked it, but I didn't finish it. I thought it was a fun world with all the cool food.

A 16 years old who lied about her age and said she was older
>>
>>288917577
yeah I genuinely couldn't care less about his conviction. it's not like he was 50 years old or anything, he was, what, maybe 25? 26? with a 16 year old who lied.
It's just whatever, there's plenty more outrageous cases to get mad about.
>>
>>288910567
Only the anime

does anyone have the promo pic of him with goku and luffy

It’s fine as long as it’s entertaining—even if it’s an industry plant or the author is a pedophile
And I absolutely hate this full of sloppy pedantry manga aimed at people with low IQ
An IQ of 100 is more than enough to make you hate this

Yep, his specific charge was soliticting, not statutory. I remember being banned from the big kengan assurance by the fat indian niggerloving mod for point Ling this out multiple times. Hopefully that fat bitch got raped to death or got cancer. On -topic, Toriko was a fantastic manga, Jirou and Setsuno are still one of the best couples in manga

Up until like chapter 100. Then he started to introduce stakes just to immediately nullify them again and eventually just speedran what I must assume was 800 chapters worth of lore and events in like 200 chapters.

But Toriko was made after that, so clearly people did.

And the punishment for that was the cancellation of his manga Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! from Weekly Shonen Jump, as well as a 2-year prison sentence which was suspended for 4 years instead. He was then allowed to return and make new manga. The way people go on about this fucking shit you'd think he's excommunicated for a mistake he made TWENTY THREE YEARS AGO. He's not. He accepted his punishment, served it out, returned to society, and didn't do it again.

Fucking hell.

Toriko is great, Jump doesn't make cool adventure manga like that anymore. Or to be truthful it does but then kills them in 4 volumes because the editors don't want to bother with a slow build-up and anyway the common Jump voter only care about the new edge movement.

It hasn't been that long since the last storytime but I hope we get one again eventually, it's great to read it on /a/

I put off reading it for a while, but I was glad when I finally did. The anime absolutely shit the bed, but the manga was actually quite good.

Favorite characters or parts?

I still think the "Welcome to The Gourmet Age" sequence where Terrycloth is born was so beautiful, and a slept on moment is when Teppei recalls a story where Jirou wanted to take him to a stop where he used to hunt but it's barren and Jirou cries

Also Jirou is the best character ever maybe

livebearer and tommyrod for whatever reason are two characters that i tend to remember the most
maybe because of their exaggerated expressions
>>
>>288921935
Fucking based alert! Livebearer still has some of the most shitlord expressions in manga history. In generally I believe that was Shimabukuros greatest strength, his exaggerated expression and gesture. Later series like Kengan and Shuumatsu no Valkyrie took a lot of inspiration from it, whether intentionally or just subconsciously
>>
>>288921935
They're theatrical villains. Heels. We like to see them get beaten, it's fun. Shimabukuro writes many characters like this, he's very good at writing a wide variety of different villains.

Well put, especially considering the morality of Toriko and further revelations in the series, the Bishokukai weren't really even "bad" guys. Just Hungry Predators.

Also most people have never clocked that Torikos outfit is entirely an homage to Steve Irwin, may he rest in wonderful and gentle peace

Can you blame me? It's been how long since Toei ruined Toriko? What else do we have to cope?
>>
>>288921935
This motherfucker, the fight Toriko had with him, was the closest to Goku vs Freeza without being Goku vs Freeza. I'd even say it was great even in the anime, even with all that fucking censoring.

Toriko is actually really interested and a wonderful contemporary shounen. It's a shame the ending was rushed bc of axe - bc of the DOGSHIT 2000S PIERROT TIER ANIME
>>
>>288922300
Toriko probably had one of the best endings you could ever get. Most everything was wrapped up or addressed, different events were called back to from earlier points in the manga to show they all mattered, and characters got very satisfying endings. It was an ending without regrets, one that leaves you satisfied.
>>
>>288922293
Itagaki stole the "wristpunch" that Doppo does to Dorian from Toriko vs Tommyrod btw, also love how just vicious Tommyrod was, even grabbing Toriko when his kugi punch sent him flying while mixing up his internal organs.
>>
>>288922333
What surprises me the most is that Toriko was selling extremelly well. And it still ended gracefully.

why the fuck is One Piece getting a remake instead of Toriko? Are japs just fucking insane out of their minds? lmao

>>288922384
Oda has the money and drive to do expansion projects with One Piece. He wants to redo the anime both because the current anime is over a thousand episodes long and kind of hard to get into, and often has pacing and animation issues, so the new anime is supposed to be better than Toei's. It's the same with the live-action remake, he wanted to see it done while it could still exist, under his care, while he was still alive.
>>
>>288922422
Oda is friends with Mitsutoshi. He couldn't help his friend one more time before retiring?
>>
>>288922422
>and kind of hard to get into
Sorry, that's inaccurate. I mean intimidating to get into. It's not an uncommon thing for long-running franchises, even when the solution is "start at the start, watch in chronological order". People like curated experiences.
>>
>>288922384
Someone addressed this kind of, but his solicitation charge isn't really the whole story. I have a very strong feeling he didn't enjoy his manga being syndicated into an average tv anime. His art is specifically rebellious, "off model" and free.

I wouldnt call it forgettable. Just inept.
Toriko is totally devoid of likable characters. OP is shit but I remember moments where Zoro made me laugh or Chopper was cute.
Toriko starts off with a charisma vacuum protagonist, annoying ugly side character, and its all downhill from there.
You can say its not about the characters, its about the world and the spectacle. The world is very cool, the spectacle works sometimes (especially at the end when they’re eating planets and shit).
But all the whimsy in the world doesn’t make up for the #1 sin of writing: “I don’t care what happens to any of these characters.”
Gurren Lagann was huge and crazy AND had a lovable cast. Toriko coasts on vibes and even when I was reading it at a young adult I knew that shit sucked.
I did like the fight against the guy with thousands of different bugs in his stomach. That was neat
