What killed torikos popularity & series?

>>280418295 (OP)
Komatsu.

>>280418295 (OP)
It had like 40 volumes I know but it seemed forced to try and be marketed as the next big thing and didn't really catch on in the west.

the anime is more censored than 4kids's One Piece

>>280418492
same scene in the manga

was toei afraid of strict code in japan?

>>280418537
censorship depends a lot sometimes on the time slot of the anime

>>280418575
it aired right after One Piece iirc

An absolutely horrendous anime.
Literally that's it. Totally killed any momentum the series had.

>>280418646
something I noticed is that after Toriko's massive flop Toei hasn't been allowed to adapt a major WSJ series ever since, they only had World Trigger while every other high profile jump series went to Mappa, Bones, Pierrot or Ufotable

>>280418646
I think it’s also due to the fact that the series was food based & author was catfished

>>280418695
After the studio gets their hands on the story, does Shueisha or whatever get no say in how it's adapted?

These are WSJ rankings and you can see the last 100 chapters how much it went down.

>2016 was its downfall
oof

>>280418881
my theory is that Shueisha really REALLY wanted Toriko to be the next Dragon Ball so they gave the series to Toei despite the awesome OVA that Ufotable did before believing that Toei still had the touch. Toei probably thought that the series would need to have the violence toned down to be a hit with western kids showing that they learned absolutely nothing with their partnership with 4kids. The icing on the cake was Ufotable making Demon Slayer a global success without toning down the violence.

Damn, I honestly thought they were hugging, fusing, or that the guy used some technique to hold her arm.

but enough about JJK

>>280419550
>we almost lived in a timeline where Toriko was adapted by Ufotable

>>280420648
have in mind that Toriko was by far the goriest shounenshit at that time period.
