I can't tell you where to start, but I can tell you where not to start.
Death Note is utter garbage. Anyone recommending it hasn't watched it in ten years, and is forgetting how contrived it is.
For example:
The main characters play tennis while trying to win a mental game of rock, paper, scissors.
They turn a scene about looking inconspicuous into one of those over-edited Indian soap operas (I'll take a chip... AND EAT IT!).
Misa is annoying as hell.
The target audience for it are teenage boys who listen to Jordan Peterson, can't talk to girls and dream about beating their Dad psychologically.
It's a mental masturbatory power fantasy.
I have never seen Death Note, and don't intend to, but the primary target audience for like, 99.8% of all anime is teenagers. So hearing that it tries to appeal to that isn't all that shocking, honestly.
It all depends on the anime itself, really.
You can say the target audience for Ghibli films are kids, but the ones who get the most out of them are adults.
Many of the anime I would consider the best, would include themes I couldn't really understand the nuances of as a teenager, or even as a young adult, yet are published in Shonen/Young Jump.
Naww. Your numbers don't track.
My spiciest anime hot take is that the Netflix adaption of Death Note was actually pretty good.
The problem was that anyone who liked the anime would hate it and vice versa, so it had no audience.
But if you disliked the anime, then I highly recommend checking out the Netflix adaption.
It answers the question “what if Light were cringe”.
What do you mean "what if"?
