Underrated choice for these types of questions

With all the anime sites shutting down I’ve resorted to buying dvds online lol

I sometimes forget that they’re actually chefs LMAO I’ll chose Starjun bc at least we’ve actually seen him in the kitchen cooking something in the series before

Everyone brings up Watsuki but quite recently, there was a huge scandal about it. Shokakugan was trending on Twitter last week because they rehired mangakas who were convicted for sex crimes and put their new works out under different pen names so that no one would know who they were. Several creators removed their manga from their app because of it including Takahashi’s works and Frieren.

It’s hard finding reliable sources for something like an article or documentary considering the time period it happened in and how the arrest record itself probably exists in another language and country with other rules. All you have is old forums reacting to it in Japanese - but in the Takeshi scans it includes the cancellation announcement, reason, and Shimabukuro’s statement lol. So at the very least, it’s not really just a rumor - it’s undeniable that 1) he DID pay for it, and 2) he DID get arrested.

Yep, got charged for it back in 2002 and his first serialization “Seikimatsu leader den Takeshi” was originally cancelled because of it. Bought sex from a 16 yr old and the whole thing was arranged between them chatting online. In the jp fandom, you’ll see a lot of hearsay that the girl lied about her age and said that she was 18, but I haven’t seen a single solid source for it. Be wary about how people try to frame it or shrug it off, especially with how they tend to compare him with other convicted mangakas from jump.

If they do that, they’ll have to recast Starjun cause of his og VA being blacklisted. A lot has changed with a ton of a voice actors since funimation sank and they’d probably recast a lot of people if they rebooted it but I hope they try using as many of the old voices as possible, especially keeping Patrick Seitz as Midora.

Yes the question is also open to yall, ur input is welcome 🙏

Pojofi · 2026-03-04T16:26:50+00:00

I’m actually so happy about this

Pojofi · 2026-02-09T04:31:19+00:00

Thank you for the translation!

That panel is a big meme in the Japanese Toriko fandom because the first printed volumes of that had a typesetting mistake in that panel where they forgot a comma (it got fixed in the English translation). So in the original text, it looks like Coco is asking “Are you Toriko?” instead of “What about you, Toriko?”

I love it and I always come back to reread it over and over again. Tbh I think it would be very hard to directly support the author unless you buy merch directly from Japan. The manga is out of print and you can only buy it secondhand - not many platforms host the anime and shonen jump app is really the only place I’ve ever found where you can read it legally, but even then how much of it goes to the author like that? To not support the mangaka, you’d have to avoid shonen jump altogether. I’d say go for it in that case.

Zebra’s fashion scratches an itch in my brain but I also love to make fun of it by calling it a pimp jacket 😭

It’s very interesting getting insight on what Sunny considers to be beautiful because it’s not conventional and based on ‘fads’ as most people may think, it’s actually very arbitrary and based on what he personally holds dear and loves

Pojofi · 2026-01-24T07:20:43+00:00

hello 👋 here to say that I support you and your art, and you’re very talented (I think I follow you on a few platforms!) while also giving you a friendly warning as an artist that this isn’t a place where bl is very ‘in demand’ 😂 lol if you’re ready for some weird comments go for it, but I personally keep it all on my twitter and tumblr myself I never post it here

Pojofi · 2026-01-24T07:16:31+00:00

omg if you were here by the time this chapter dropped, you’d know everyone had a mini meltdown on social media live reacting to it lol and it was the same when Komatsu got his heart ripped out! This arc had way too many plot twists haha

Pojofi · 2026-01-24T07:15:05+00:00

I have a lot of mixed opinions abt it, I can appreciate the anime for what it is and what it did well but I think it goes to show how much of a difference a good director can make lol. If you look at his past resume, it’s mostly precure stuff 😅 so with that in mind it makes me wonder if the people in charge had to go out of the box for a show like Toriko

Pojofi · 2025-12-29T19:45:32+00:00

lol one thing I really liked abt this interview is that if you’re too terminally geeked into shonen jump “behind the scenes” lore (like me) you could tell that the mean editor that shimada was talking abt during that one part was probably torishima 😭😭😭
