| Being an anime only Naruto watcher must be suffering. I don't even see how you guys could be fully invested in the climax anymore considering how much post-war/new generation material is being advertised everywhere. |
| Started back up on reading the One Piece manga and surprisingly I've started to really like it. |
 |
| So far One Piece shows no sign of ending. |

| And Naruto shows no sign of ending the fillers too. |

Also seems like Food Wars picked up a bit after falling off which is good. One Piece never leaves the top like literally never, I remember a few times where Naruto toped it (they switched places) and now sometimes Bokunohero manages but no other series as consistently. I know, but it's still satisfying as a fan to always see it at the top. When others series started to fall off (Bleach to name one), it makes me happy to see OP continuously going strong. |

| This is a complete noob outlook here since I haven't watched any of the big three, but from what I hear, Bleach died a long time ago, Naruto isn't as good as it initially was and One Piece is still going strong as the leader of the anime pack?? To be honest, I think the concept of the "big three" kinda died out a few years back- a lot of different types of anime have more exposure and popularity worldwide now, as opposed to just the more "mainstream" shounen shows of the early 2000's. For instance, a lot of the darker, grittier anime/manga like Attack on Titan and Tokyo Ghoul are gaining more popularity in the West. Also, since there aren't that many recent long running anime, I doubt that a new and established "big three" will emerge in the coming years. I think a big factor within the idea of a "big three" was that these were really long running anime series fans grew up with, like comfort food in a way; you're probably more likely to be a fan of an anime if it's airing for years as opposed to months, where your love for it might die down eventually as it's shorter and you're watching a lot of other anime. Of course, there are a few long running shows like Fairy Tail and Gintama, but Fairy Tail has been a bit of a trainwreck for a while now and Gintama can get lost in translation sometimes with its mainly hit or miss nature/comedy- it's a bit like marmite in that respect. |

Anime discussion about anything related to the Big 3; for example: Which is your favorite of the Big 3, and why? What is the new Big 3? / What will be the next Big 3 title? Which WSJ title could become a Big 3 member if it received more anime adaptations? (e.g. HxH, JoJo) Could a series not serialized in WSJ ever become one of the Big 3? (e.g. Fairy Tail) Imo, the reason this thread is dead is there is not much ongoing battle shonen anime right now, Naruto has too much filler, One Piece is too slow and Bleach is ended. Since this is anime board, people mostly talk about anime and use the manga subboard to talk about the latest chapter. Maybe the upcoming BnHA, JoJo 4 and AOT anime could spark a little discussion in this thread. |

| Don't worry, once Oda starts dropping bombs, the hype is going to skyrocket just like during marineford war. Fans and fanboys will be flooding every corner of the internet, hailing OP as the second coming od Jesus. That will tick off Naruto and other shonen fanboys and OP haters, so the bashing and damage control will start once again. Then this topic will be granted second life. Filled with nothing but pure hate and malice, it will become a battelfield for endless fights between OP fanboys and the rest of the anime community. |

Thats probably due to the anime sucking more than usual if the influx of negative reviews is any indication. |

Lets all pray for the day that Fairy Tail becomes one of the top 3. |

| ^Yeah, that's never gonna happen. In fact, sometimes I even forget it's even come back from the break considering how little people talk about it.

It'll be interesting to see if My hero academia blows up as basically everyone is predicting or not, especially regarding its manga sales. Also, how many JoJo fans visit this thread? |

That's because the marineford hype died down and none of the following arcs managed to achieve a level of quality that everyone expected to get. But the newest arc has been getting nothing but praise, even among people who were bitching about OP's level of quality ever since the TS happened. Lot's of the fans that criticizied OP are still sceptical after a clusterfuck named Dressrosa, but I can already see the Goda hype wave building up on various forums and if he keeps on delivering the good stuff then we might get another hype explosion. |

| Speaking of, Fairy Tail is probably going to be ending either this year or 2017 at the latest. It's starting to get really obvious that Mashima is getting bored with the series geralt said: It'll be interesting to see if My hero academia blows up as basically everyone is predicting or not, especially regarding its manga sales. Also, how many JoJo fans visit this thread? It'll definitely be the most talked about show of Spring, unless another sleeper hit like ERASED comes out of the cut. It won't reach OPM levels of popularity and stupidity but that's a good thing. DP's adaptation of DiU is guaranteed to be greato-daze but I wouldn't be surprised if the first half gets blasted in episode discussions for "having no plot" |
Kaimon said: Speaking of, Fairy Tail is probably going to be ending either this year or 2017 at the latest. It's starting to get really obvious that Mashima is getting bored with the series I'm not so sure....I think last chapter there was some talk about a third continent in the East. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a new big bad appears and trumps Zeref. I do think Mashima is getting bored of writing new stories for Fairy Tail but I think he will keep milking it as long as it's popular. He's got it made with that series, he never really has to go out of his way to keep the series interesting. It thrives purely on its use of cute busty girls and mindless action. I don't blame him at all for keeping it going. All that said, it be interesting if he did end it and made a new series. Maybe something closer to Groove Adventure. He's not a bad writer/artist and I don't particularly hate Fairy Tail. I'd be pretty pumped for a new series by Mashima to be honest. Speaking of new series from established authors. Anybody know anything about the rumored new Shonen series Kishimoto was working on? I was really curious about that. I remember reading he was interested in doing something sci-fi. |

It might rise only to die down again. One thing is apparent, the fanboys are very fickle. The most recent hype wave was for the first half of Dressrosa when some people were saying it was on track to being one of, if not the best arc ever, then during the second half it turned to complaints and I'm not just talking anime here. Of course it also briefly rose up for Anyway, the new movie may generate some discussion at least since Oda is involved with it. |

Are you keeping up with the anime weekly again or did you just happen to marathon 10+ episodes at once after hearing about being hyped? |
Kaimon said: Are you keeping up with the anime weekly again or did you just happen to marathon 10+ episodes at once after hearing about being hyped? Nah. I marathoned the last 13 episodes in one go, but I'm back to letting episodes build up. Actually, I'm now going to wait till the entire arc is over before finishing it. Apparently there's like 15 chapters left, so it should take about 20 episodes or more. It should be done by May or June. |

Yeah, they're doing 0.7 chapters per episode now. Toei stopped relying on fillers a while ago. They might add some fillers for the upcoming movie after Dressrosa ends, but it won't be much. |

Yes it would. If it's any consolation Toei is doing this to all their series. It got to the point where Toriyama was complaining about the quality of his new Dragon Ball series. Hopefully they stop fucking around and actually put effort into their adaptations. Wouldn't mind a 20-25 episode long filler arc ala G8 if it meant better pacing and animation for the next arc. At least Zou seems like a short arc so far. They have an opportunity to do a better job. Of course this is all wishful thinking; Toei is unlikely to change their ways at this point. They have gotten too big and complacent to care about quality. |

| They should just make One Piece Kai version of East Blue and Baroque Works and air it as fillers, and then go back to the new material. |

Dahaka_ said: They should just make One Piece Kai version of East Blue and Baroque Works and air it as fillers, and then go back to the new material. I actually think that's an interesting idea for younger people who may feel daunted by the current size of the anime. I've tried to get my younger sister to watch One Piece for over 2 years now, and she finally started in December. She just finished Alabaster when she should have been studying for exams. I miss the days when I could do that, *sigh. |

| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| There's a big enough time gap between Dressrosa and Zou where they could put in a few harmless fillers. It'd also be a perfect time to animate some of the post-skip cover stories, since some of them are going to be very relevant in upcoming arcs. Not going to hold my breath though. Fullmetal89 said: fairy tail stuff Even for this series it'd take some serious reaching to pull out a big bad after all the hype surrounding Zeref and Acnologia. Even all this stuff seems like it was made up on the spot and the Spriggans are just there for padding. And speaking of endings! Gintama is at it's climax and the anime is going to be doing the next serious arc next week so they're likely going to adapt the rest of the manga. I already know I'm gonna cry like a bitch when reading the final chapter. |

There's just not enough time to fit an entire arc into a 1.5 hour episode. They are more of a long recaps than actual episodes that can stand on their own/ |

They are more of a long recaps than actual episodes that can stand on their own/ I feel like I'm one of the few who thinks Episode of Nami is the best version of the Arlong arc overall, I felt like the pacing, animation and soundtrack was an improvement over the anime which I already felt is one of the few arcs that is better than the manga. In particular removing the scenes where Luffy got sunk in the pool for a while was a good idea since that whole mini-conflict felt quite forced (Why didn't Luffy just punch the concrete open?) |

My Hero Acadamia looks alright too, I wanted to read it for a while but I'll just wait for the anime. |
