The "Big Three" used to be the name for the once dominate three shonen series, Bleach, One Piece and Naruto, but times have changed since then. One Piece is now the single king of manga sales, and Dragon Ball Super, One Piece and Detective Conan are currently the three kings of the anime TV ratings.

What series would you consider the modern "Big Three"?

The big three concept was a product of its time, it's not really applicable today.

It's obviously Aikatsu, Precure, and Pripara.

Seriously though I don't care. The shounen jump thing was sort of a one time deal, we don't need to have 3 super important big anime anymore.

I kinda agree with this. I don't keep that good of track of anime so I can't not say much, however I do not believe anything is on one pieces levels right now.

There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

Obviously One Piece reigns king of the manga industry, but I'd say the reemergence of Dragon Ball has given One Piece a run for its money. Not just in anime ratings, but in video games sales and movie ticket sales as well.

And with the Attack on Titan anime returning in 2017, I can see AoT becoming a huge challenger for One Piece in terms of manga sales.
