I know the Big 3 are animes from the early 2000s which had massive success worldwide.

However it seems that the big 3 are no longer the most popular. Naruto still preforms well and One piece does also but it seems bleach is not very popular now.

do you think its time for a new big 3?

What would they be

In my opinion they would be (Based off popularity)

MHA
AOT
Demon Slayer

We protect other species because humans themselves are lonely creatures. We protect the environment because humans themselves don’t want to go extinct. What drives us is simply self-gratification. But I think that’s fine, and that it’s really all there is to it. There’s no point in despising humans by human standards. That’s right. So in the end, it’s hypocritical for us to love Earth without loving ourselves.

Anime as a medium has evolved past that point. It's no longer considered so niche that only big popular shounens from Shounen Jump can reach everyday audiences. The clear distinction is gone.

i’d say bleach is still doing well, especially regarding last season’s release of the tybw arc.

Kimetsu no Yaiba - we'll see how long it reigns, before it's overthrown.

JoJo - it's the obvious choice and will be until it ends.

BNHA - it's past it's prime, so it'll be replaced soon. By what, I don't know, or care.

There is no new big 3. Big 3 just referred to the three highest selling mangas in Shonen Jump that were running at the same time. Nowadays a lot of shonen mangas are making numbers as high as the big 3 did. It's no longer the case where 3 mangas are carrying the entire shonen jump. With how much the landscape of shonen jump has changed with the advent of digital media and the internet their is never going to be a new big 3.

The newest generation Big 3 in my opinion would be:

Chainsaw Man
Jujutsu Kaisen
Kimetsu no Yaiba

I was thinking of AOT as well, but I wouldn't exactly consider it to be a part of the “newest generation” big 3 though.

1. One Piece and Bleach are still alive and kicking (admittedly Boruto is the nadir of Naruto)...so The Big Two Plus Other Popular Trash?
2. The whole idea of "The Big Three" is stupid. Like only following three shows and ignoring the rest? Or maybe those should be mandatory to indoctrinate noobs into the tastes of the fandom?

I don't think the concept of the "Big 3" applies anymore. Almost every season, a new show comes out and brings waves of hype and numbers that rivals a lot of the "Big 3" shows. In terms of popularity and relevancy, I still think Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man are the leading contestants, MHA is also up there among these mainstream shows as well as JJK. But, all in all, a lot of shows which aren't mentioned are immensely popular.

For currently airing anime probably My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Chainsaw Man. For currently publishing manga probably MHA, Chainsaw Man, and One Piece.  One Piece still going so it counts, and the manga is held in higher regard than the anime at this point so I would say it still counts

The "New Big Three" do not exist, or at least not in a formal way, and within all the only one that could be considered so would be Kimetsu No Yaiba, as for the other series such as Boku no hero and Jujutsu kaisen, none has reached such numbers. big.

Shingeki No Kyojin isn't even part of the same magazine, and it's also part of another "generation" so it can't be considered that way. Chainsaw Man would not enter there either, their numbers at the moment have no point of comparison.

People who act like a "new" Big 3 exists completely missed the actual reason why those 3 gained that title in the first place, as no other group of anime has achieved such complete dominance over the entire anime fandom as those did during the 2000s.

Let me correct you there: the Big 3 became as widespread as they were because of their anime, so even if they started as manga, it was their adaptation that spread like wildfire.

You know wrong. The Big 3 refers to the top three manga from Shonen Jump, not anime. And it's a term completley made up by the Western fandom, the Japanese got nothing to do with it.

pretty crazy how often this question comes up despite how many people that keep saying there is no big 3
the big 3 had to do with long term manga sales in shonen jump from like a decade ago at this point
so if you ask what the big 3 are now, all u get is people arbitrarily suggesting random anime that they like or think is popular

I do not think there is Big 3 nowadays or even any other number of big anymore.

Some hated them but many more loved the original Big 3 and pretty much everyone heard about them.

The number of One Piece fans we still have here, proves the strength of the original Big 3.

Naruto and Bleach used to have even more fans and even louder discussion about each new episode and chapter.



Even the bigger titles such as Demon Slayer, FMAB and AoT are not getting close to these, much less anything else.


For better or for worse era of Big 3 is now over.

At this stage anime community diffused into smaller but much more close groups centered around their peculiar niche sub-interests.
