Because Toriko is pure hype with most amazing world in history of manga. It lacks only detailed characters development. Mitsutoshi is best in world build but not in character development. If he could do both Toriko would be absolute masterpiece.
Your personal opinion on the quality of the manga is irrelevant to the point being made. Listen, I enjoy Toriko, too-- not as much I did before the timeskip; For me personally, the quality of the series dipped after the timeskip and even more so after the Pair arc, but I digress. The point is, at least in the West, Toriko does not appear to be selling, so it's kind of confounding as to why localization hasn't been discontinued yet. I don't know how many units they put out at a time, but I can't imagine they're selling enough to break even with that series. Let's not delude ourselves here. Money talks, especially when we're talking about business economics, and it isn't speaking well of Toriko as far Viz localization is concerned. Not to mention the declining sales in Japan, but that's another topic in and of itself.
I dont understand how you can say that "toriko does not appear to be selling" when it appears the opposite would be true. If it wasn't "selling" then they would have dropped it. Since they havent dropped it we can only assume that it is selling enough to still be viable for Viz to keep releasing it (unlike Reborn, Gintama, etc).

But that's exactly why I said that. Because I'm not really sure how well Toriko is selling. What I do know is it's not selling enough to chart with any given volume.
Also, I looked through each individual US Manga Print Ranking chart, starting with 2010 when Toriko began localization, to reaffirm if the above quote is true. There was not a single volume from that series to be seen; granted, each chart topped off at 200-400 individual volumes, the lowest ranking sales ranging from 2500-3400 units. For all I know, Toriko could be within top 500, though this wouldn't say much for its sales. Not sure what qualifies as breaking even for manga in the US, but being given an entire year and not selling more than 2000+ volumes does not sound that promising, in my humble opinion.
Reborn and Gintama also disappeared from the charts after the first 1-4 or so vols. And you obviously fail to understand something: If Toriko is still being released it means it sells enough for each volume. While obviously later Reborn and Gintama volume sales dropped so much, that it wasn't worth to keep releasing the series. So those series, being able to chart at the beginning, doesn't mean they were generating more money in a longer run.
This, Talk about Toriko Failing when it hits 100,000 in japan And recently Toriko has slight increase in sales I am not worrying about it I just want the mangaka not to rush the manga.
I don't think it will get an anime. The sales are terrible and even an anime wouldn't change anything. It's gonna share a fate like Saiki Kusuo no Sainan.
I think getting an anime early in a series life is rarer than waiting. How long did it take for kurobas to be animated?
Hahhaha, no. To begin with, Shueisha its really advertising Hinomaru Zumou, all the posters on sumou matches, crossover with Kurobas, show that they want it to be big.(with the female audience at least).
Both yowapeda and ace of diamond anime started hundreds of chapters into those series lives though.
Do you really think that? I like HinoZumo, but it isn't something Fujos would buy. They want cute looking boys with perfect hair, not some group of muscular men half naked and with scars on their bodies fighting against each other.
The fujoshi audience don't care about the appearance, and even if they care, Zumou has some cute character designs, even with all the muscles.
I'll try to make it a bit better to see why i think HinoZumo won't get an anime.
