What's the show that came out between 2000 and 2009 that perfectly encapsulates the decade in both its popularity and quality? The show from that era that a vast part of Sup Forums can agree was excellent and inspired many more shows to come?

Monster

Easy

duh

What else could it be?

I'm disappointed in you, Sup Forums

Haruhi

or maybe Love Hina, but that was the manga as much as the anime. Extremely influential.

Fuck me, these are all excellent answers. I have no idea which one between these three represents the decade the best.

Any Key show

Is this up for contention?

This.

Pretty much those + K-on.

K-On is too different, and happened too late with many modern developments to properly represent the 2000s. Also not very influential, at least not for 00s anime.

Plus I'd argue that it was influenced by Haruhi.

Haruhi

Love Hina or Haruhi. They both had enormous influence.

There's no way Death Note isn't the answer

I think the 2000s is actually the decade with the biggest change in art style when comparing the beginning to the end. 2000 anime and 2009 don't look much alike at all, whereas 1990 and 1999 anime (for example) are recognizable as being cut from the same cloth even though the art style changed and the technology matured.

Code Geass

There's no way Code Geass makes it to the Top 5, let alone the Top 1. Not with Death Note and Haruhi in the running.

though is a good shout
