Just consistently more of the same, droppped the series once they introduced Erina´s Dad as a villain and now apparently they go the boring "he´s bad because reasons excuse", which is contradictory in a slife of life/ Ecchi/ Harem/sports competition shounen.

The appeal of any Echi Harem comes from the willingness of teenagers to bust a nut towards softporn, which is ironically only a subcategory for SnS, the real meat of the content was it´s premise which wasn´t very unique, but never done populary with the setting of cooking.

All of the competition was ruined once they introduced an overarching villain and his appeal was further destroyed when he wasn´t the "charismatic" dickhead anymore, but some pseudophilosophical asshole that put his head too deep down his own.

I don´t read SnS anymore, I just skim through it after reading OP, but they turned what could have been an interesting plottwist into utter horseshit.

There was no foreshadowing ot buildup to it, which is already a red flag. That´s writing 101. What made the whole thing worse that the author was too lazy to even retrospectively introduce a latent motivation for his behaviour.

became a bad guy for no reason because the author wanted him too and he became a good guy again for no reason because the author wanted him to be agood guy again.


dude, that spoiler...

Souma story telling wan't great to begin with since beginning and i am agree with that.... but i still found it bearable so i can goes with that... however, i can't deny lot of character it self likeable... not to mention the food itself is actually down to earth that make me can actually feel it...

still, after azami, i couldn't care less anymore tho... just read it for delicious food and glorious art..

Wonder why anime these days just can't receive the popularity like the older anime.

Despite doing very well, My Hero Academia still can't even reach the international popularity that is of even the weakest of the Big 3, Bleach. Heck, it can't even reach that is of Fairy Tail or Yu Yu Hakusho or Rurouni Kenshin or Saint Seiya or Rave or Black Cat or Flame of Recca.

Haikyuu and Kuroko just can't touch the international popularity that is of Slam Dunk or Captain Tsubasa.

My Hero Academia does have lot of qualities that Naruto had (At least so far ?)
I think it might take Naruto's place somewhere in the near future.

Captain Tsubasa is the most popular Soccer Manga to be ever be released. It was published in WSJ during the early untill the late 80´s.
It´s Anime aired basicly everywhere throughout the 90´s and had Manga spinoffs and sequels throghout the 90´s untill today.

It´s the equivalent of what Gundamn is to Mecha or Dragon Ball to Shounen for Sportsmanaga. Hence the users comment.

Hey, its been a while since I've been in here. Not surprise that this thread is basically dead because two of the big 3 series has already ended.

This thread is the official "Big 3" thread and contains all topics relating to it. The Big 3 is a western fandom term and is defined as the three best-selling manga series of Weekly Shounen Jump (WSJ) magazine. Due to their extremely high popularity, these Big 3 manga series are typically also animated to long-running TV anime series, and thus the term is also used by anime watchers.

The current Big 3 titles are One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach.


@Luna, you might want to update your definition of the big 3, because we are not in 2010 anymore.

Not too surprising. Most of the people who watch One Piece probably don't want to go all the way back that far just to rewatch everything in English. I know I'm that way.

Tokyo Ghoul overall makes more sense because rewatching a short anime for an English dub is something people are more likely to do than one with hundreds of episodes. Plus it fits the late night show feel for being bloody and with gore and whatnot.

Haikyuu and Boku no Hero doing good always makes me happy. Also glad to see Food Wars rise up in the ranks a bit after last week when it was like last. Promised Neverland looks like it's here to stay, which is good. Jump needs to find some things that have staying power instead of these series that get axed after a couple months.

A bunch of these series names I hardly recognize. Time to do some research to see what looks like it will be good.

1. I think Ichi isn´t trying to start any discussion here. He´s just wants to tell the guys who are smug about "One Piece is da best in da west, da numbas don´t lie" people that Bleach had more staying power unlike their beloved One Piece.

Which is true, though those changes have to observed with caution. The market is a different one compared to when Bleach was airing which was canceled 5 years ago.Streaming has become a staple in the industry and a small TV programm like Toonami cannot compete with instant subs . On the opposite side of the spectrum though, you´ve got Dragon Ball Super bringing in record numbers and Naruto with it´s infinite filler hell still making better numbers is a well deserved punch in the gut for those guys. On the other hand those numbers only matter to America.

I´ve grown up on the german dub of One Piece which is far superior and the series still keeps airing over here far ahead of the English one, while translating Movies like Film Gold before English speaking releases. So it´s a matter of location in the long run

2. MHA and Haykyu will have their runs till the authors want to conclude them. One is the obligatory sports Shounen of it´s era the other is the successor of Naruto, no worries there. Promised Neverland will stay for teengagers it´s a breath of fresh but also the one that could shoot itself in the foot the easiest imo.
It´s easier to write a battle Shounen like MHA for a long duration and be entertaining, than a mystery thriller. Technically both have equal potential, but one has it harder to remain interesting, or reach the same heights.

As far as new series go, that´s not in their power. It´s up to the authors they hire. If they are shitty authors they´ll simply get fired and gotta start anew and if nothing comes they´ll start firing editors eventuall. Nothing more they can do. The print industry as a whole is in decline. As far as axing goes. It was always like this we just didn´t knew since we had no way to get our hands on the data.

Oh that's cool. How far is the German dub in? Like in the 600 episodes or so? How popular is One Piece there compared to the likes of Naruto and Bleach? I'm sure DBZ is the big dog their like it is pretty much everywhere lol.

Was MHA the successor to Naruto? Nice, I'm not sure if it well reach it's peak of popularity but it is certainly a quality series I'll say that. And as a sport anime fan, I'm glad to hear that Haikyu is here to stay lol, was sad when Kuroko's Basketball ended but luckily we still had Haikyu. Honestly I wouldn't mind another sports manga to run along side with Haikyu. And I haven't read Neverland but I hear what it is like. Something of the mystery/thriller genre is definitely a trickier task to handle than a battle shonen so I can agree with your concerns.

I know about the process of weeding out the weaker series, which is reasonable cause they want quality series in the magazine, so I can understand that. I'm just waiting for them to find the next big hit for the magazine. I'd prefer having a bunch of series with staying power than about half that have it and the other half keep getting cut.

Had to check it out myself. According to Wikipedia the DVD box of Marineford released this year. However The last time I saw it on TV was 1-2 years ago. i remember watching the English dub after Toonami started airing the dub and it was in Thriller Bark territory we had already Shabody Archipelago episodes. On the other hand german program rarily cancenls their Anime (if the Anime block itself doesn´t get canceled), they just keep rebooting untill the Japanese accumulate a new season and translate it then, so it could be wherever at this point. Finding a competent source is nigh impossible, because TV obviously is ahead of dubbed streams and DVD releases.

Yes Dragon Ball is the biggest thing over here reaching top status in the "overall DVD & Blueray sales", but here comes the kicker. Naruto is the second biggest Manga and One Piece the second biggest Anime. Both were succesful, but the Naruto Anime had a later release an infamous first intro and a dub that is the german equivalent of the One Piece For Kids dub. Generally Anime dubbing went to hell over here post 2005 when Naruto released and hasn´t been solved yet, due to underpaid voice actors, no new talents emerging, greedy production companies and the overall rise of subs that it´s become nearly obsolete.
Which leads to decent result for both series. It´s complicated to explain because several channels bought the rights one after another and One Piece went from the most seen Anime on TV on a Kids programm to an ok ratio Anime on an Anime block alongside Dragon Ball Kai and Naruto, with worsening dubs.

Was MHA the successor to Naruto? Nice, I'm not sure if it well reach it's peak of popularity but it is certainly a quality series I'll say that. And as a sport anime fan, I'm glad to hear that Haikyu is here to stay lol, was sad when Kuroko's Basketball ended but luckily we still had Haikyu. Honestly I wouldn't mind another sports manga to run along side with Haikyu. And I haven't read Neverland but I hear what it is like. Something of the mystery/thriller genre is definitely a trickier task to handle than a battle shonen so I can agree with your concerns.

I know about the process of weeding out the weaker series, which is reasonable cause they want quality series in the magazine, so I can understand that. I'm just waiting for them to find the next big hit for the magazine. I'd prefer having a bunch of series with staying power than about half that have it and the other half keep getting cut.


This Picture explains it best.



I never could get into sports Anime. I grew up with two one Captain Tsubasa the other Ganbare kickers which I do have some nostalgia for, but I know they´re garbage and don´t care much due to the overemphasis on the sport rather than the characters, but I acknowledge their quality objectively, just not my cup of tea.
Sportsmanga are generally one max 2 per generation in Jump, if they manage to deliver to different audiences (different sprotsfans), but i doubt it´s a priority since imo it´s the easiest to be good when you´re alone, but the hardest compete against an established one.

To be honest I´m not concerned for Neverland, you should read it yourself. Personally I don´t think it´s a quality series, but I understand it´s appeal and acknowledge it´s place in the lineup. The author did something new for Jump and was rewarded.

On your last point. You have to understand that Jump doesn´t work that way. Dragon Ball was considered lightning in a bottle. People considered it a miracle that this would happen 3 times in succesion within half a decade with 3 different series. Bleach was left in the dust after a while, but it´s overseas popularity wasn´t to be underestimated.

Even as much as people claim MHA to be "Naruto´s succesor". It´ll take a decade till Kohei has proven himself. Naruto never reached the full scope of Dragon Balls heights that´s probably never gonna happen due to it´s expansion, but it came close. One Piece managed to surpass it at least in Japan, but it did it in such a big manner that this popularity won´t be reached for a half a century. 50 Years from when One Piece ends no Manga series will reach One Piece status. Simply because One Piece has to leave first, which Toei and Shueisha won´t let happen for at least a decade and then the new series would require all the ingredients to become a smash hit of the same magnitude.

My personal favorite is naruto shippudden (didn't like normal naruto that much, i thought it was ok but i love shippudden). Naruto shippuden is my favorite because of the great characters, story, great villians, great amount of backstory among other things such as narutos rise in strength and his hardships he dealt with but then became what he is today. I havent seen one piece but i loved bleach also but i found some parts in bleach really boring and some parts cringey.

Farewell Naruto... as if the manga didn't end ages ago. Also, this isn't farewell because they're still milking the shit out of it with Boruto. Shippuden ended just in time for the new Boruto anime adaptation. Glorious. It's like finally saying goodbye to someone after a memorable day only for them to miss the last train and had to stay at your house longer. Welcome back Naruto.

Well i was surprised, because I remember that when the Manga ended those numbers were actually reached, but that was the definitive ending.
Thanks for clarifying.

Well, of the 6 new series that Weekly Shonen Jump added like a month or two ago, I can honestly say it isn't looking too good lol. Hungry Marie, U19, and Demon Prince in the bottom 3 of the knowingly ranked series. We Never Learn in the bottom 5. Dr. Stone at least got a good first rank in the top 5. Curious to see how Robot x Laserbeam ranks in it's first ranking.

U19, Poro, and Marie at the bottom 3 again. These series aren't gonna last at this rate. Dr. Stone is the most likely to succeed. I'm curious to see Robot x Laserbeam gets for its first ranking but I feel like that one will last. We Never Learn is middle of the pack so it should last.
