There's a difference between the 1990s and the 200th decade.
The first one is from 1990-1999, the second one from 1991-2000.
I wanted to bang my head against a wall when people celebrated the new millenium even though there was still one year left until the new millenium started.

If a decade started with a 0, you'd not only have two different centuries in one decade, but also the first decade would only have 9 years, as there is no year 0.

Wouldn't that be weird if it started on 2001? As ghost said, 81, 91, etc? That wouldn't make sense to me. As I recall a decade is 10 years. 2000, 01, 02, 03 , 04, 05 ,06,07, 08, 09. = 10.

Noughties? Who the frick came up with that gay name for this decade? Zero Zero!
At first I thought this was a thread about "Naughty" anime.

Favorite anime hm...Bakemonogatari, Kuroshitsuji, Clannad, Death Note, Code Geass, Gundam 00, Full Metal Panic, Elfen Lied, K-On, Kannagi, Pandora Hearts, Lucky Star, TTGL and starship Operators. Etc.

Black Lagoon & Eden of the East for sure.

It's not a matter of opinion, really. That's just how it is.
The new millenia started on January 1, 2001.

yes this is very informative and interesting but stop acting like sheldon from the big bang theory

[cotsiost]

i think we are getting a bit too drawn away for the purpose of this thread so i believe we should let the arguement about the decades to stop needless fighting that will get us nowhere

[evereternal7]

Technically speaking Schno is right, but yeah, we shouldn't get too far off-topic

Anyways, I would have to go with Hayate no Gotoku, gave me the biggest laugh.

@MJM128: Actually, you can call any time span that spans 10 years a decade.
But if you talk about the xxxth decade, you'll always start with a xxx1.
Furthermore the 3rd millenia and the 21st century started during the 2000s,
not with them. Or did I mistake your intention and you weren't trying to prove me wrong? ^^

but stop acting like sheldon from the big bang theory

I should, probably. Somehow it happens kind of often that people say I'm kind of sheldonish.


Back on topic: The most underrated anime of this decade is probably NANA.
How come this one isn't more popular?

You must be a math major, because only a math major can be so anal over a detail like that. Yes, its technicly accurate that a decade runs from 01 to 10 because our current calander started at year 01 rather than year 00, however that line of reasoning serves no useful purpose and is entirely impractical for everyday use.

true, the new-age term "noughties" starts from the year 2000 (since the "s" in "2000s" means you include from the beginning)
But the 21st century and the 3rd millennium did technically begin January 1 2001

btw Schno was only stating the fact that this decade only ends at the end of this year, so actually a better anime could possibly still appear that applies to this thread

Toradora! for me
