So I have a some questions for the anime.
How far is the anime in terms of manga pacing.
And how bad is the anime, and whats the deal with this new character?
Tina was awful to deal with, because she was around for important things she shouldn't have seen. Like the Jeweled Meat arc really bothered me. Her character is just a news reporter who really should have been fired since she loses most of her footage of the adventures anyways. Which is what I think happened in the puffer whale arc. And the other role is to obsess over Toriko and Komatsu, and occasionally be competition for Rin.
She is much more tolerable as just having a "Dining with Tina" talk show in the middle or end of the episodes, because she's never successful it's kinda funny. I don't think she's needed in the show at all, but I'm not sure how the episodes would pace without that filler. At least they pretty much realized they couldn't keep writing Tina into the actual adventures because the danger is getting progressively harder. I don't think she was anywhere around for Ice Hell.
