never really got into it but hey 2000 was 24 years ago. so many things happened and teenagers now haven't experienced the windows vista style of anime culture, rampant amateur fansubbing, racist localization and really slow pirated youtube anime. For those youngins and young at heart what anime released around 2000 - 2010 have you enjoyed?

Naruto, Bleach, One Piece oh boy. every boy enjoyed those and i didn't. they got bullied for copying the runs and super powers and i just wanted to watch more cartoon network, disney, and nickelodeon.

Negima got my boyhood curious and introduced me to the tropey ecchiness of anime. spiraled into powerpuff girls z and sora no otoshimono. Death Note felt too complicated for my child brain but i knew everyone knew about it. Started to understand anime and what tv series are and that they're not all episodic and eventually watched K from start to finish. Then I regressed back and really liked Inazuma Eleven which got me into football. then after 2010 I eventually dove into the sketchy ecchi shit every anime weeb is known for and when that got boring i found a newfound appreciation for the animation medium instead.

Only now did i appreciate some of the more peak animation styles like with Gurren lagann, K-on, Yozakura Quartet. The feeling of missing out on those when i was growing up felt like regret but im happy i can now appreciate it with the archival technology we have today.

Edit: I mistook 2010's for 2000's. I was more interested in the 2000-2010 favorites and nothing beyond that (cause that's a bit more recent to be nostalgic)

From the 2010s? That's a difficult selection to choose from, but probably Bakuman, Accel World and Black Butler [Although they are basic picks >_>] I enjoy them a lot and, often return to rewatch them due to the quality of the animation, storylines and the characters themselves.

["Edit: I mistook 2010's for 2000's."]

Eh...In that case...!

SERIES:
Trinity Blood [2005]
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS [2008]
Gurren Lagann [2007]

MOVIES:
Paprika [2006]
Ghost in The Shell 2: Innocence [2004]

My Top 25 of the 2000s (some of which are already at or very close to my top favorites over all anyway, when taking all years and decades into consideration indiscriminately) would be:

1.) Inuyasha (2000)
2.) Koi Kaze (2004)
3.) Haibane Renmei (2002)
4.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni/Kai (2006)
5.) Ergo Proxy (2006)
6.) Elfen Lied (2004)
7.) Kaiba (2008)
8.) Aishiteruze Baby (2004)
9.) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006)
10.) Gallery Fake (2005)
11.) Kodomo no Jikan (2007)
12.) Dennou Coil (2007)
13.) Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World (2003)
14.) Digimon Tamers (2001)
15.) Earth Maiden Arjuna (2001)
16.) Shinreigari (2007)
17.) Gankutsuou (2004)
18.) Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi (2006)
19.) Mujin Wakusei Survive (2003)
20.) Witch Hunter Robin (2002)
21.) Eve no Jikan (2008)
22.) Gungrave (2003)
23.) Black Lagoon (2006)
24.) Zettai Shounen (2005)
25.) Kokoro Toshokan (2001)

I was confused by the thread topic's title in contrast with the body of the post initially, so I'm glad I checked back to find your revised title in place after the edit.

At the end of the day, the 2000s decade still has four out of my five of my Top 5 anime of all time, so it's the decade I'll always lean toward.

Favorite anime from 2000 to 2010 in no particular order:
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.
