Which anime deserves to be in the big 3?

Which anime has the potential to be part of the big 3 of anime? Mine is demon slayer, it may be new and the MC is pretty cringe, but the animation, Fight scenes, and lore are pretty good.

Clannad & After Story.

Honestly my usual reaction to the term “Big 3” is to roll my eyes as the defining characteristics seem to be shonen & episode counts in the hundreds, neither of which is a strong selling point for me. My Hero Academia probably comes the closest to me, even though it’s largely fell out of favor within the anime community. Understandable as seasons 4 & 5 were both disappointments for me, but season 6 actually got me hyped again & seems like the end game may actually be in sight (hopefully within 2 more seasons). I’m enjoying JJK2, but not sure how many seasons that would last. My interest & appreciation for Demon Slayer sadly diminishes with each following season.

As far as what I consider exceptional titles that have the potential to keep going for considerably longer, I’d probably say the Fate franchise & Vinland Saga.

I think "the big 3" is based on revenue, not anything else, not the story, not the characters, just the revenue, means the big 3 are the top 3 animes by revenue (I suppose)
