I'm a new-ish weeb, so take my claim lightly. Death Note is by far my favorite anime, and I think a lot of people can agree that Death Note is one of the best animes. I wasn't bored during a single second of Death Note, honestly. The storyline progression is amazing. There were times in Death Note were I would be up to my screen in shock or in sorrow. Again, take my word lightly, but Death Note is a must watch for anyone who hasn't.
