If you ask an anime fan which anime should you watch first, most probably you are going to listed the name DEATH NOTE. It had a superb plot and storyline and character development is outstanding, but at the same time it is easy to understand. This show provides a glimpse of what the anime world has in store for the people who haven't watched anime. Some episodes in between the show (after the event that pissed everyone off) were a little slow compared to the rest of the series. Other than that the entire show was just outstanding.
