@professorstein0 Do you think those 3 were the only shows people were watching or the only ones making sales? Or are you just conveniently ignoring the “global anime culture” part, which is literally right there? Sales/viewership are factors, not the entire definition.
@professorstein0 The Big 3 was never a literal “top 3 sales/viewership” ranking lmao. It refers to One Piece, Naruto and Bleach’s simultaneous dominance of Jump and global anime culture in the 2000s. HxH selling well doesn’t retroactively change what the term meant.
