This was always more or less my perspective. They were the big three simply because they were the most popular and thus most socially acceptable to consume as one of your little ego indicators.

Kids had/have Naruto stationery in the west. Entire online ecosystems exist to discuss One Piece.

Bleach is proof that an anime adaptation that is 65% filler still can’t save Kubo’s writing.

The whole “big three” meta commentary is all about that console wars style twitter arguing anyway. “It’s okay for me to like this weeb stuff, it’s popular” type beat.

I don't want to tell you whether or not you should enjoy something, I just want to espouse gratitude and astonishment. It's a outrageous how some of my favorite things came to be, and the many ways they almost didn't.

Don't let anyone tell you it's too early for Christmas shit if Christmas shit makes you happy.

I've been looking back at Horikoshi's pre-MHA work, but instead of one long thing like I have been, I'll probably break it up by work. Each one is part of a whole idea but I can always just introduce that in stages.

My main problem is I can't manage flow when it's too long. It gets wobbly.

FWIW this is also why communities should also not be asked for game balance feedback

No one should ever be asking players what they like - the entire basis of gaming is delivering people novel experiences they didn't know they wanted, which is easy because gamers are fuckin' clueless.
