Anime Fans Have Officially Chosen The Best Of The Shonen ‘Big 3’ Series

The Big Three is a popular term coined by anime fans in the early 2000s that refers to the three most influential shonen series of that decade. The Big Three includes One Piece, Naruto, andBleach, all of which are major hits, all hailing from Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. While anime fans have tried to repurpose the term "Big Three" to speak of newer shonen trios, none of that has truly stuck. Even today, when speaking of the Big Three, One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach are what come to mind.
