I am ancient. I stopped following anime in early 2000s, so for me, best titles out there would be>Evangelion>Ghost in the shell>Berserk>Serial experiments Lain>Possibly Ninja ScrollWhat "best food" did I miss in the last 20 years? Thanks.
>>1502956Ergo Proxy (2006) for starters
Attack on Titan, violent and weird but you learn the secrets of the world the same time the main characters do. Once you complete it and look back on earlier episodes it's easy to tell the author created the entire world and story before he even started writing it, which really helps keep retcons and mistakes to a minimum while all the pieces fall into place.
>>1502956>Gintama>Knights of Sidonia>Blame OVA from netflix (yeah, surpise!)
>>1502956DEATHNOTE
>>1502956Here are a bunch of classic mecha titles.
You listed some of the most normal popular titles of all time. So just check some top lists, here:2000's >https://anidb.net/anime/?airdate.end=2010-01-01&airdate.start=2000-01-01&airing=2&do.search=1&h=1&orderby.rating=0.2&votes=10002010's >https://anidb.net/anime/?airdate.end=2020-01-01&airdate.start=2010-01-01&airing=2&do.search=1&h=1&orderby.rating=0.2&votes=5002020's >https://anidb.net/anime/?airdate.end=2030-01-01&airdate.start=2020-01-01&airing=2&do.search=1&h=1&orderby.rating=0.2&votes=500>>1503352Don't listen to this bot
>>1502956Let me help you filter out the crap, OP.Have you seen seen the following? Some of them are from the early 2000s:>Welcome to the NHK (Highly recommend, just saw it this year and it's in my top 3 favorites for sure. Great OST. Came out in the early or mid 2000s)>FLCL>Outlaw Star (90s)>Gyakkyô burai Kaiji>91 Days>Paranoia Agent>Promise Neverland (Great opening theme for season 1)>Dororo (The newer one, not the 1960s one)>Summer Time Rendering>Daily Life of Highschool Boys (very nice)>>1502996It would be wild if OP claims he never read or saw Death Note. I would think he's lying if that were the case.>>1502968>GintamaAbsolutely this.

>>1503634that's even sader
>>1502956literally nothing. Anime peaked at Akira and the titles you mentioned. maybe Redline.
