Anime or manga drawn in a style that was popular in the 2000s. This includes both works originally made in the 2000s in this style, and modern works drawn in a faux retro artstyle. This tag should not be used for images created in the 2000s that do not fall into this specific art style.
Western artists with a fondness for this style tend to tag their artwork as animecore, a term coined in Tumblr aesthetic communities in the late 2010s to refer to the imagery and culture surrounding anime in the 2000s. It is also sometimes known as "moe style".
