I'd have to do the research on when these things make their rounds, but officially, the 15th anniversary would be mid-August of this year, sooooooo technically the "anniversary year" would be pretty much most of 2017. It's only March.
I bolded what looks like a typo. It made me laugh, and then I got sad many times in other instances, it's not a typo. I think the thing with Toriko is simply the skewed view of "the Big 3", an entirely Western modern shounen fan-invented concept, so when these people see a WJ cover page with Naruto, Luffy, and Toriko on it, but Ichigo is further in the back, they freak out. "Pimping" always seemed like a strong word, because it's not like Toriko is an out-and-out failure(beyond its anime being cancelled). It's still going after many years and still sells; you could probably compare Toriko's situation to Reborn!'s(though, I'm pretty sure even to the end, Reborn! volume sales debuted at 250K or higher). All of this started happening when -- dun dun dun -- the Lost Agent arc of BLEACH began and its rankings started falling; the monster that is Jump editorial simply did its job and and started eating what wasn't doing well, and that reflected in the covers. And, uh, BLEACH's declining volume sales. I love these threads because classy folks totally won't throw salt in the wounds. |
