If they're endless, people are watching them for a long time and still talk about it, so it's easily spread out. Anime with 30 episodes may be super-cool with legendary storyline and unforgetable characters, but you're watching them like 3 days or even month, then it's slowly dying for you.

I didn't know a lot of poeple felt the same...
I felt the events leading up to the time skip were rushed and ultimately, a bit pointless - it's as if nothing happened?

Well,I base this from what comments I've seen on recent chapters here and on other forums where people don't seem to be enjoying it nearly as much as before, critizing it more than during the war(which I thought was disappointing myself, but still)

Maybe Oda needs a rest, nothing wrong with that.

Apparently, some people are being ignorant while commenting so lets get things straight.

the 'big 3' (OP, Naruto and Bleach) are categorized as so is because..
1. They are super long running. (manga series are at least 10 years.)
2. They are all Jump anime.
3. They are targeted at teen boys.

So please give suggestions that matches these.

Fairy Tail:
1. Honestly, even though I feel that FT has gained alot of popularity these couple of years (and it deserves the attention), I do not think FT will last for 10 years.
2. It's not in SJ.

Other suggestions:
Not in SJ

except Gintama, but as I said before, Gintama is on a different league altogether, ie. not just purely action shonen. Given that it is ranked #1 and #3 in MAL, it deserves all the attention that the 'big 3' has.

Well, it doesn't need to be in Jump to be very popular. Like Soul Eater.

... and apparently you din READ the thread title? It says "Which anime do you think will pass the popularity of Shounens big three"
Those that you mentioned already passed this stage long ago. I am not denying their popularity. Wayyy before the 'big 3' even existed. In fact, most of them have become part of some people's lives/memories. Most of them are even parodied in Gintama and other anime series, thats because people who watch these anime can relate to the parodies. We are here to discuss which of the newer anime series will become as popular or pass the popularity of the 'big 3'.

If you ever been to Japan (not just Tokyo), you will discover, like I did, that most of the stores sell OP merchandizes, along side Hello Kitty ones and sometimes Doraemon. I hardly see any other anime merchandizes as often as I see OP. And here you are trashing OP's low scores. Honestly, I have never seen OP. But the amount of merchandizes sold tells alot about the popularity of the anime series, dont you think so?

Firstly, Ippo is still on-going.
Secondly, he is Japanese.

Again, my point is...

Not denying their popularity. In fact their popularity is already passed the 'big 3'. Most of them are 90s anime and before. Seriously, fans of those anime series will be insulted if they were to be put on the same level as the 'big 3'. It's like saying FT = the 'big 3'.

And the point about OP. It's not about the scoring. It's about the popularity. If he lives in Japan, he should know how popular the 'big 3' are in Japan, compared to the other anime series in the new millenium.

taliking baout how much stuff it sells

Gumdam wins by miles

form laest oricon sales charts ofr the lst year none of the so call bif three are in the top five OP myabe top ten but its not as big a seller as it wass poast alabaster arc 25% of the eniet opulation of Japan brought the three volumes just after that arc finished

Via weel;y sales fifuses Jump sells more but since around 04 when it comes to Tankabon sales Sunday Gan gan and Champion manga out sells jump by far ofr the most part Op Kochi kame and some times Naruto may out sell champion stuff but there you go


but when it comes to the two to a manga that has had bingest impact out isde of the famdom

I'm a fan of 2 of the 'big 3', Naruto and One Piece. Yet I won't be insulted if anyone claims Hajime no Ippo is at the same level of Naruto or OP.

As for Fairy Tail, I'm kind of done complaining about it, can't deny it's popular, though.

Toriko is better than FT by Far

Even if shows have or do surpass the popularity of "The Big 3" the name will still likely remain in reference to Naruto/Bleach/One Piece simply because once a name like that is given, it sticks.

Yes, Gundam is also another hugely successful franchise. Why franchise? It's because it's not just the anime that sells. The profits from merchandizes are the ones that generate the most revenue. Also, Gundam orginated in the 80s. They have 30 years of history now.

Same with the other old classics that you have mentioned.

But when compared with OP, Naruto & Bleach at this point in time, you got to admit that sales figures are the ones that reflect the trend in popularity. No doubt that series like Doraemon, Conan and Golgo 13 remains in the hearts of many, that place is all they have. And undeniably, Gundam merchandizes still outsell those from the 'big 3', there also other strong competitors like those that target guys who love 3d-girls e.g. Hatsune Miku, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha etc etc. You get the picture.

If we were to look at the Orion charts that started in 2008, it is very clear. "One Piece is currently ranked as the best-selling series of all time in manga history." (wikipedia)

My point is not to say that the 90s and before anime series arent as popular as the 'big 3'. In fact, they ARE more popular because they have become the history of anime, i.e. they helped shape and define "anime". But, in defense of the 'big 3', people who say OP, Naruto and Bleach suck because they have bad ratings, well, joke's on them because sales figures show that they are one of the most popular (shonen) anime series around.
