years ago Bleach cemented its status as one of the biggest and most influential shonen titles. He ranks among the famous “big three” and helped lay the foundations for spiritual successors such as Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. Excellent so far Bleach the anime still ranks above its successors, due in part to its success Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War anime. However, several other anime still have Bleach defeat.
Few anime can stand up to the legendary one Bleach and overcome it, but a few have done it, including a fairly recent title. These anime either beat it Bleach in their own game as a long-form action story and/or doing something awesome Bleach no or maybe he is avoiding Bleachthe biggest hurdle. For all its true merits, Bleach it also has some weaknesses and design flaws that hold it back, making room for a few elite anime to closely eclipse it in quality.

One Piece is the king of the Big Three
One Piece's Worldbuilding and creative struggles overshadow Bleach's Own
Just by being in the shonen “big three” Bleach it's stronger than 90% of all shonen anime out there. Still, one of these three titles has to be the last, and it is Bleach. Meantime, One piece is top dog, and not just because of its famously huge number of anime episodes and manga chapters. Author Eiichiro Oda made good use of all that content and time, treating fans to worldbuilding and plots unmatched in the anime realm.
Almost everything Bleach does One piece does it a little or a lot better. At least the aforementioned worldbuilding is leagues ahead Bleach and most other anime can offer. No one will ever forget the colorful islands of the Grand Line, nor will fans soon forget the overwhelming plot threads that span dozens or even hundreds of episodes. To this day, mysteries like the Void Century and the true nature of Imu keep fans excited, even though 90s fans are old enough to have kids watching. One piece beside them.

The Vinland Saga is a stunning tale of grief, revenge and the meaning of life
The best Seinen anime are stronger than even the longest Shonen titles
Some seinen anime can easily rival the most famous shonen titles, with The Vinland Saga to be one of them.

Frieren's theme of embracing life resonated with fans

It's an anime where levels of performance and scale take a backseat to tender emotions and related struggles with the meaning and value of life. in this way Frieren can reach more fans The Vinland Saga than the fans of the big three.

Attack on Titan was an instant classic with its brutal combat and grim characters
Attack on Titan Conspiracy Twists are better than anything from the big three
Attack on Titan made waves in 2013 as a gritty and gory shonen anime that isn't about taking down demons, but rather just surviving. Attack on Titan pushed the formula to the max with constant character deaths and impossible odds against the Titans. It made the heroes' rare victories that much sweeter, and later periods showed more strength Attack on Titan: its maze-like plot.
The first season had some worthwhile plot twists with Eren's Attack Titan form and Annie's apparent betrayal, but there was much more to come. With twists like Marley Empire and the truth about Ymir, the founder, Attack on Titan enjoyed the storyline much more exciting and engaging than Bleachis own. The anime is also more solid than Bleach maintains a remarkable momentum and pace despite dense story threads and twists.
The plots of this anime are some of the best in all of Shonen
to this day Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood remains the highest mark for shonen and even anime as a whole, though Frieren: Beyond Journey's End competing with it for the top slot on MyAnimeList. Among other things, because Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has one of the best storylines in the medium, outdoing everything in the big three with a sprawling tale of conspiracy, revenge, human misery and betrayal.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is more effective and denser than Bleach is, to treat shonen fans to a better paced story that at 64 episodes of the anime seems shorter than it actually is. The story also has smarter plot twists and smarter action sequences than Bleach offers on average, with alchemy and science replacing predictable shonen-style power scaling in these encounters. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood it finds ways to raise the stakes and scale of the conflict, but without resorting to “my power level is higher than yours” developments to keep things moving.
