I got about four hours of sleep last night because I binge-read the whole manga after the first episode.
I want to say it's visually unremarkable/cheapish but there were such nice directorial touches. I particularly liked the moment when the camera shows a random landscape, tilts across empty sky and finds Toriko on the ladder - it actually felt a little dizzying.
The one thing I didn't like (and this is in retrospect after reading the manga) was how the critter was beefed up from a vague wisp into a snarling RPG monster.
