Haters gonna hate.

There are anime in japan that has more than 1000 episodes, for example Sazae-san (6000+, still on-going), or the one I watched when I was a kid, Doraemon (2000+, on-going). In any case both Detective Conan and One Piece might reach the 1000 mark, I'm not sure about One Piece but in Detective Conan's case it's too likely to happen.

Good. Hopefully Hitman Reborn will also end soon so that maybe the rest of the manga will get animated.

6000+ .........are they like 5 minute episodes lol ? Doreamon manga > Anime , anytime anywhere . Too bad the author is dead, it used to be my childhood . The problem with Conan is that it has a plot , IT HAS A PLOT . Doreamon has no plots ,it s just fun fun fun . Thus i wont mind doreamon having a 2000+ episodes as its just for the laughs . But conan in the other hand .......

Logic of Conan : Has a plot but only happen every 50 episode once , most of the time .

Conan has the mystery. I for example have continued reading Conan a couple of months ago, I used to read it for the plot, but after continuing it I started reading a case every day, whether it has something with the plot or not I enjoy it. The reason is that I start thinking about the case too, considering the clues that are shown, thus I think the cases being somehow realistic (some are realistic but crazy) and Conan solving them in a logical way is a plus, not like some other mysteries out there.

The way Aoyama is showing the plot is something I find funny actually; although you see some episodes/chapters about the plot, it hardly moves forward, they're still fun though. But seriously try reading/watching Conan without thinking much about the plot, it's way more fun this way.

Lol I can't even count the number of times Mori got drugged by Conan needle watch . Seriously , all the time .I pity Mori in many ways . But sometimes , Mori is able to solve the case himself . Btw, those kids detective group are just a waste of time .

K, back to topic .

You were saying that conan has the best criminal investigation ? If you want a good mystery detective manga , read the manga or watch the anime of Kindaichi . Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo is one of those anime/manga that seems to be forgotten in the mainstream of things. It is precursary to works like Detective Conan. They show a nice progression of the detective genre over in Japanese Anime/Manga.

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo is a bit more mature than Detective Conan, but both of them involve teen detectives that try figure out murders that take place. Both of them are also very suspenseful and those who like Detective Conan should definitely check out Kidainchi Shounen no Jikenbo.

^That sums it all
Note; I read all of its manga and collected it . The case imo is better than conan . And it ain't fucking dragging . The main character is awesome and he's very funny .
I highly suggest you to read the manga . (http://myanimelist.net/manga/393/Kindaichi_Shounen_no_Jikenbo_-_File_Series)
or the anime (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2076/Kindaichi_Shounen_no_Jikenbo_(1997))

Generally , I prefer manga > anime . Its my childhood manga and its better than conan imo . I collect both of the series but Kindaichi is superior imo .

I honestly hope all of the top three shounen will end in the shortest time possible.

Naruto has proven to be quite amazing actually, it never sucked so much, and this last arc is pretty good. Also, it seems that Kishimoto knows where to end, he doesn't get blinded by money, like Oda or Kubo.

As for the One Piece and Bleach, I hope they end as soon as possible. Bleach is doomed to fail hard, there is no way Kubo can bring it back to quarter of quality it had in the beginning. And One Piece is dragging too much. It's getting more and more boring, more and more repetitive. Kill it while it still has some dignity left.

Also, KHR! could end soon and get animated. The last arc, that is. That'd be satisfactory. And then we can move to new fresh shounen titles.

I don't remember saying they're the best, but I would say DC is appealing for the young people. On a side note, about Mori, I wonder if he's gonna get a tumor or something from that needle, although I don't think Aoyama is concentrating on these little details much.

Anyway I'm gonna try that Kindaichi manga you mentioned.

I'm glad its coming to an end, feels like things have been dragged out way too much. At least with Bleach a new arc was started, even if it is linked with previous stuff.

It better end in Sasgay's death.

For me, the climax had already been reached right when Sasuke left. The anime isnt bad per se, but its just not really interesting since then.

My sole-reason for reading the Manga is to see Hinata and Naruto together. And from the last panel, with Hinata in it, I'm guessing Hinata will finally confess her feelings w/o naruto going berserk soon after. (Thus forgetting the confession) Something major has to happen between those two before I can satisfied with this Anime/Manga ending.

Finally we getting to the end, if they dragged it out after the war,by creating some new enemy it would just be the same old thing. Bleach is also in its final arc,but it seems it will be rather long.

I remember the creator really pushing for people to like sakura as a heroine aka the love interest, but i think after he tried to make her appeal to more people and she didnt he probably did write it in the end that hinata and naruto would get together, that ore he will take the easy and smart way out, kill off naruto.

Just started reading the manga.
Might even be done catching it up when it's about to end.
Kinda sad that all the long shounen series are ending. :C

Even though it's probably better that several long running mangas are ending,
I still feel sad. Man, there goes my childhood!

And this right here negates your entire post.
The fourth shinobi war arc has been lackluster and mediocre. Absolutely laughable.

People proclaiming the Big 3 is coming to a close not even close..
Naruto still has to get to that climax and end so that will be a bit, One Piece still has a good 10 years and the current Bleach Arc in the manga is supposed to be LONGER then the arancar arc which took about 5 years to complete. Which then they are going to animate so we'll probably be seeing Bleach and OP going years from now still.

Naruto has been around since 1999, about 13 years now. Not only that, new anime becomes popularized and pushes older anime out MUCH quicker than it did even 5 years ago, and I think Kishimoto realizes that Naruto's fandom has significantly died down.

He's making the smart choice.

Which are? give me some recs of some new popular manga shonens, cause i want to get a head start, post on my wall.
