So /a/ what's the new Big 3?

My dick and balls

The big 3 is not simply the 3 most popular series at any given point, it was the 3 series that the majority of western viewers used as a jumping on point to the medium during its boom period of the early 2000s.

>>146077982
Where can i download it

gantz, sesuki wo pin, and D gray man

>>146077898
Well I can fucking tell you that DBZ should be included in that picture, and considering that One piece and DB are still going, you only need one more to fill the slot.

>>146077898
Toriko failed to make the cut
7DS also failed.

I'd say One Piece, One Punch and Hero Cuckademy.

>This bullshit again

Newfaggots fall for this fallacy every fucking time in an attempt to look educated.

The big 3 is called that way because for a long time they were the 3 biggest selling Battle shonens, and for a while the biggest selling shonens period. At the same time.

Fucking newfaggot tards I swear.

Attack on Titan
Hero Academia
One Piece

Another big three probably won't happen for a long time. Jump got lucky having three popular series like that going at once.

>>146078022
What kinda stupid shit are you spouting

>>146078231
and yet people still associate the term with One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. Not whatever is the 3 most popular shounen at any given time.

>>146078060
DB had it's prime a long time ago. No one but niche fans in their 20sd watch that shit now.

>>146077898
One piece stands alone atop it's mountain of being the highest selling Manga in recorded history

>>146078298
>No one but niche fans in their 20sd watch that shit now.

>>146078296
Because it was a great coincidence that the top 3 of shonen jump all happened to be DBZ style battle shonens at the same time.

It corresponds to an era where Battle Shonen was the most popular genre. Them being released simultaneously in the west is a consequence of that.

But elitists on /a/ who hate anything that reached the western audience due to highschool bullying warp the reality the other way around.

>>146078452
>It corresponds to an era where Battle Shonen was the most popular genre.
Which now its not. SnK, OPM, and BNHA, despite being the most popular anime of the last 5 years, have little to do with one another in terms of style aside from both being action-based.

Aww shit. Did Ore Tama (My Balls) get an anime?
That better be one of the modern big three

>>146079108
It better fucking get one, it was the best.

There won't be another big 3 type scenario in the foreseeable future, if ever. One Piece/Naruto/Bleach was really the only instance of this happening ever.

>>146078329
Not even that, but the merch for that show was fucking everywhere in Japan when I was stationed there from 2010 to 2013. For the most part, watching anime, or admitting you watch a lot of it is a taboo and makrs you as an otaku. For whatever reason, One Piece was the one "acceptable" series to admit to watching.

Considering how the other two/thirds of the Big 3 turned out, I'd say the nips made the right choice.

There isn't any. Right now nothing is really as popular as they were at their primes.

One Piece is the only one that's really left.

If DBZ was your first dragon ball experience than you dont like GT. GT went back to the series roots of goku and friends traveling around looking for dragon balls and getting into crazy situations and meeting interesting people along the way.

>>146082510
DBZ was my first experience with dragon ball but I still liked GT.

>>146082465
looks like 3DCG rotorscoping. its a cheap shortcut but at least it looks better.

I also liked GT probably because i was pretty young when i watched and it still has one of the best designs in my opinion (Super 17) but i can admit Super does some things waaaay better (animation ofc isn't one of it).

Especially villains and transformations.

Tokyo Ghoul, One Punch Man and Attack on Titan easily.

>>146082625
OPM isn't even /that/ popular.

Neither is tokyo ghoul I think.

Shokugeki's above them both last I heard.

One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. Same as it always was and always will be because Big 3 refers to a specific period in WSJ's history. It does not mean "3 best selling shonen manga".

>>146077898
Haikyuu!! is bigger than anything that is not one piece by volume sales at the moment and Jump's own popularity rankings
One Piece
Boku No Hero Academia

>>146083000
Ye but what about worldwide. i am pretty sure ressurection o f did more than the things you mentioned combined

>>146083162
Worldwide is probably Bleach, Naruto and DBZ still lel

No one cares about One Piece in the west let alone shit like Tokyo Ghoul, BnHA, OPM, etc...

The only reason I'm not including SnK is because it is a monthly series but SnK is the only series that comes close to One Piece in terms of popularity and volume sales in Japan and SnK is probably bigger than OP in the West

A more fair big 3 right now would be:

One Piece
SnK
Haikyuu!!

>>146078174
this

>>146078276
in the 90s there was like the big 7, they have a lot more talent

>>146080622
>it's not nearly has popular as DBZ was
nothing could be and I'm talking worldwide it just will never get to those highs again with so much different media thanks to the internet

>>146082510
I started with DB and GT always felt like a fanfic garbage.

DBS is sitll not in the same quality as DB/DBZ but is getting better new Goku Black saga is pretty good, new characters are great and it feels like classic Dragon Ball

What's sad is people always keep overlooking gin Tama, considering it out performed Naruto and bleach after a while.

Sorachi can't seem to catch a break.

I'm surprised haikyuu! is on top, graphic is really ugly and it's hard to differ characters

What about yowamushi pedal?

Agree with shokugeki no soma in the next big 3, but story goes on so slow i might drop it

>>146082510
Dragon Ball was my first DB experience and I can tell you that GT did not do well at all at going back to its roots. It obviously tried, but it didn't feel anywhere near as good.

>>146083000
>>146083279
This is the right answer. Might as well add HxH since its volume sales are better than anything excluding SnK and OP.

>>146082657
Both OPM and Ghoul are very popular. SNK is above them both
>>146083279
People in the west don't give a shit about anime in general, but everything you said expect for One Piece is wrong, all the other titles are popular here
>>146083000
>>146084316
This isn't about volume sales, it's about popularity and recongintion in a stupid bait thread.

THE BIG 3 ISN'T A FUCKING SPORTS TEAM WHERE YOU CAN JUST CHANGE THE FUCKING SERIES, PUT ON A SPORTS JERSEY, AND GET TO BE CALLED THE "BIG 3" BECAUSE THEY SELL A LOT AND ARE POPULAR. IT'S A FUCKING TITLE OF A SPECIFIC GROUP OF 3 MANGA: NARUTO, BLEACH, AND ONE PIECE. THAT'S IT. WHY CAN'T YOU MONGOLOIDS UNDERSTAND SUCH A SIMPLE CONCEPT. THERE IS ONLY ONE BIG THREE, IT'S NOT INTERCHANGEABLE, FIGHT ME IN A HELL IN A CELL YOU SUM BITCH JESUS FUCK I'M FUCKING TRIGGERED RIGHT NOW

>>146084910
>This isn't about volume sales, it's about popularity and recongintion in a stupid bait thread.
How the fuck do you think you gauge popularity? A series that sells over a million volumes is extremely popular and well recognized, and more so than series that sell less with some rare exceptions. HxH manages that with years worth of hiatuses in between, people seem to think it doesn't count because of that but it's clearly maintaining it's popularity with no effort.

>>146084958
Still wrong you idiot. It is referring to the top 3 in Jump. How about you not be retarded?
I don't what the ranks are right now in Jump, but I imagine One Piece and BnHA. I don't know what the third one would be.

>>146085057
YOU STUPID FUCK. JESUS CHRIST YOU'RE TOO STUPID FOR WORDS TO DESCRIBE BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING. I'M SAD YOU'RE ACTUALLY A HUMAN BEING.

>>146085167

do you not remember everyone talking about how Bleach fell from rank 3? Maybe you just forgot since it happened years ago.

>>146077982
But anon, that's the small 3

>>146078452
>Them being released simultaneously in the west is a consequence of that.
But that's wrong. Naruto and Bleach were never that popular in Japan.

>>146085335
Yes they were. Bleach declined pretty hard but Naruto was selling 1mil+ when it ended.

One Piece is not the standard for success, jesus christ.

>>146078233
replace one peice with one punch and we have a valid answer

>>146085027
I was referring to Haikyuu actually.
I gauge popularity by worldwide recongintion and current and "mainstream" appeal. I don't count volume sales because even though you made a good point about how series that sell well are popular those are usually only among anime fans. You could ask a random person about what JoJo or HxH are about and there's and good chance that they'll look at you strange, but when asking about OP or I'll give some current ones here Boku no Hero or SNK they'll understand instantly because that's what is currently hot and long running. So what I'm saying is that the most popular anime are the ones that can be recognised by an anime and non anime fan. I'm not trying to insult you, just explaning my reasoning

>>146081665
Dragon Ball
Sailor Moon
...IDK what else. Maybe Ranma or Inuyasha?

>>146085418
OPM isn't WSJ. And if anything is being replaced it would be BNH

Sword Art Online
Attack on Titan
Maaaaaaybe Tokyo Ghoul

>>146085335
>Naruto and Bleach were never that popular in Japan.

Jesus christ. How old are you? Go look at manga sales ranking in the 00s you dumbfuck.

>>146078233
More like the big 3 seasons of anime

>>146085467
I don't know why you're talking about anime fans, manga is for normalfags and the sales are an accurate reflection of popularity amongst the general public rather than hardcore fans. As for worldwide popularity and general recognition, if you have any actual numbers to back it up I'd be interested to hear it. Lumping BnHA in with a massive hit like SnK makes no sense and I see no reason to assume people are more interested in it than two classic series with huge readerbases.

>>146085496
Neither is Attack on Titan.

>>146085694
Basically if you go to a hot topic store and see which anime products sell well normal people will know what you are talking about.

>>146077898
HxH
Tokyo Ghoul
JoJo

I read DB right from when the first volume was released in my country,and I still dislike GT's early arcs. Sure,it "tried" to go back to the root but obviously they had no fucking idea what made the "root" so enjoyable in the first place. (Hint : It's not fucking space adventure with annoying piece of shit robot and some retardedly OP girl)

The only redeeming thing about GT is the introduction of new supervillain like super baby,super 17,and omega shenron. aka the part they actually stopped trying to "go back to the root" and just went for the old powerlevel wanking.

I have an actual question.

If the 'big 3' can only be OP, Naruto and Bleach and that has something to do with how popular they were in the west as well as sales.
What bout the period before the 'Big 3' what's that called? The big one? What about the 80s with Robotech and Voltron.

That's pointless. If series sells well in Japan, that's all there is to it. Nobody cares about "world" because it's a small percentage of overal sells. If OP and HxH sells the best, they ARE most popular. Period. Caring what manga names casuals can or cannot recognize is just dumb speculation.

You must be pretty young. There was never a time when all three were the most popular. When Bleach and Naruto still had some quality, One Piece wasn't very well known all over the world, not more than FMA or Death Note. Just around when FMA was done, Bleach went slowly to shit and Naruto was going through the Sasuke rescue arc, OP suddenly grew a lot in popularity and got to the first place in Japan.

It was Big Three in Shonen Jump, but there was never Big Three of manga overall, since there was never a point when Bleach, Naruto and OP were the three most popular manga around.

>>146082510
DBZ was my first experience, but I actually enjoyed GT. I preferred the Black Star Dragon Balls saga and wish they'd continued in that direction, instead of the Super 17 saga where they just wanted to rehash DBZ over and over again.

No.

One Piece is the only super popular series still in circulation because ODA drags shit out.

Not the guy you quoted, but are you retarded? Does it matter if it's shit or not when we're talking about the mainstream population's opinion on it? It's not like any of the only 'big 3' the world has ever known were masterpieces. It only has to be very popular.

>>146083734
