I think I'd be hard-pressed to think of 7 2000s anime with worse worldbuilding than most isekai.

Hellsing Ultimate isn't even really doing very much original worldbuilding. It retreads Helsing (2001) but adds Nazis and Klansmen. Yeah really incredible work.

Forgotten? I watched Mushishi last year.

Someone mentioned it in a post not long ago and I am currently watching it on that recommendation. What a well paced, heart warming journey so far (season 1). Great stuff.

Mushishi was legit. I'd love more like it

Who the hell forgot about Hellsing?

Like, half of those are not forgotten at all, at least two are in the otaku canon that everyone needs to learn about. This is like going up to your gamer friend and talking about that cool obscure title you found called Skyrim.

"Some of the best anime of a given era is better than average anime of today"
No shit? Let's call Scotland yard and give them this amazing clue!

Nobody has forgotten about the Fate franchise, nor Hellsing Ultimate. Plus, xxxHOLIC was terrible.
This is like one of those crappy Buzzfeed articled from 15 years ago. They came up with a title, then scrolled through Wikipedia and picked anime at random

Fate/Stay Night - couldn't say - it's never interested me. Note that it's not "forgotten" by any stretch of the imagination.
Mushishi - very, very good. And entirely the opposite of "forgotten" - hardly a week goes by that I don't see it mentioned in some context.
xxxHOLiC - Clamp. I can sort of see what I guess the appeal must be, but have no interest in investing the necessary time and effort.
Negima reboot - important to stipulate "reboot," since the first series was ridiculously awful - like they actually went out of their way to try to make it as bad as possible awful. The second series is okay. The manga's better.
Witch Hunter Robin - I've bounced off of it three times now. It looks intriguing, but for some reason...
Hellsing Ultimate - I prefer the original.
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles - Clamp^2
All in all, a pretty awful list. Here's a better one, just off the top of my head:

This is a clear case of rage bait and I realize I knowingly contribute to the proliferation of this tactic by leaving a comment thus increasing traffic metric to this post. Good thing we are all too lazy to click the link and read the post.
edit: everyone who wants to enjoy good contemplative slow-paced episodic anime should watch Mushishi.
