These anime series are among the best from the 2000s but remain unfairly overlooked by fans.
Anime became increasingly popular in the early 2000s. The decade saw the release of the so-called Big Three–Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece – taking anime to new heights. More audiences began to embrace it, leading to a new dawn where more and increasingly experimental anime came out.
9 'Darker Than Black' Hei is an infamous contractor working for the Syndicate. Like most contractors who came about with the sudden appearance of Hell's Gate in Tokyo, Hei has given up his humanity for supernatural powers. He can appear ordinary to any other person, but Hei is a ruthless killing machine.
7 'Hell Girl' Enma Ai is known as Hell Girl, a rumored mysterious girl who, along with her assistants, will drag any person to hell as long as their name is introduced onto a mysterious website. However, there's a hefty price for such a service: eternal suffering in Hell. Another show with an interesting concept, Mushi-Shi beckons the viewer's curiosity. It features impressive worldbuilding, and the story plays out beautifully as Ginko investigates the Mushi. Mushi-Shi is among the best sci-fi anime, and fans of ambitious plots rich in lore will doubtless enjoy it.
4 'Planetes' Set in 2075 in space, Planetes follows upbeat Ai Tanabe, who joins the debris section, the most underfunded department in the Technora Corporation. From there, viewers follow the character in the exploration of normal life in space.One of the better sci-fi series out there, Planetes is more on the relaxing side when it comes to sci-fi anime, examining the ordinary lives of those who choose to pursue their dreams in space.
2 'BECK' Beck follows a young boy named Yukio' Koyuki' Tanaka, who saves a dog named Beck from delinquent kids. He then meets Ryusuke, who teaches Koyuki guitar and invites him to join his band, Beck. An interesting take on the traditional anime formula, Beck features compelling main characters and refreshing animation.
