Toriko
Toriko finally got an anime green lit as mentioned in the upcoming issue of WSJ. will be set to take over the time slot currently being used by Dragon Ball Z Kai, which airs before One Piece. A lot of people were puzzled at the long wait for a Toriko tv series but it now makes sense if they want to use this time slot. Wiki synopsis Quote:

It's nice to see a current manga series getting Dragon Ball Kai's timeslot instead of another classic remake like Gegege no Kitaro or another Digimon on there.
I may take a look at this when it comes out. It seems like a couple of new Jump series are premiering this upcoming season. |

Just bought the first volume of the manga due to some comments I read about this series containing some epic manly ridiculousness. It was really great: perfectly over the top and chocked full of manly Toriko goodness that I really want the next volumes (even if I don't have the funds righ now to buy them )
So, about this anime adaption: I'm super excited but I don't know if the anime can capture the insanity present in the manga. It's always a worry for me: an adaption of an over the top manga might not match the mood of it's original. Plus, since it's a Jump series, the animation quality might, ah, not be the best (although I can't remember who's animating the series off of the top of my head. . . or if there was a trailer released. . . I need to keep up with these things). But still keeping my hopes up and looking forward to the anime

I thought the promo episode was ridiculous. In a good way. I'm definitely going to see how this turns out.
However, if the manga is still ongoing, I hope that theyll leave it at two seasons most. I don't want to watch fillers and butchered pacing. |

Since this is taking over the Dragonball Kai timeslot which airs before One Piece I fully expect this to get to 100+ episodes rather easily....
If it was going to be just 26 episodes it would've got an anime much sooner and before Mago and Beezlebub... |

However, Toei seems to generally be more business-minded than most studios, so they probably have a better idea of what works and what doesn't. If they think Toriko can succeed on such a demanding slot, chances are it will. |
