When trying to explain the story, it's tricky. "It's a guy hunting monsters for food" doesn't even come close. The best way to describe it is "Monster Hunter without weapons, where they eat the monster afterwards!"
This is so original. It's difficult to explain unless you watch it, so take it from me: every chapter is cooler than the last.
The art here is amazing. The shading, colouring, action scenes and the blood flowing: beautiful!
The sound is good as well. There are three speaking roles, and all the voices sound believable. The music is good, it really fits the mood. Wether it's action, traveling or, naturally, eating.
The characters are awesome. Especially Toriko. Everybody has their own part to play: not everybody can be strong and tough. Komatsu may come across as annoying at parts, but seeing as this is the first episode (here's hoping for more) you should give him time to develop.
The enjoyment is very high. I can't explain it fully, but Toriko is amazing. If the original story, beautiful art, good music and voice acting and original characters aren't good enough for you: I wouldn't know what is!
After you watch this episode, watch the manga :) It really is worth it!
