If you want to get a feel for what it's like, I could send you a subbed episode.

Oh and another thing, I'm not sure if it's age appropriate for me.
(That's another reason i'm sorta avoiding it. My parents might not approve.)

Is it wrong if I've only considered watching Death Note because of its popularity? My friends have cosplayed as the characters and reference the creepy laughing and potato chip scene often. That's really all I know about the series :p

It's okay. I actually was just browsing Netflix for an anime to watch, I didn't know anything of the fandom, and I fell in love with it.

Well, the thing is it discusses, deals with, and shows quite dark theme,s but it's never terribly graphic. Such as there is blood, but not in large amounts. However, as you can probably tell, there is a LOT of death in Death Note.

@Konata, Death Note is a shonen series, which means teenagers (more specifically teenage boys) are it's target audience, but I'll also say that it's probably the darkest shonen series I've ever seen.

I kinda guessed there would be DEATH.
I'll think about watching it. Again, I probably wont.

@Everyone
Here's the opening, it's from an odd video site (some sorta religious one, why an opening for Death Note is on there IDK) but it's impossible to find on youtube now.

I know the gist of it, but that kind of anime doesn't interest me that much.

What "type" of anime?

@Sky_Kia
Would you recommend Liar Game?

Yup- I'd definately reccomend Liar Game. Unfortunately it doesn't have an anime so you'd have to read the manga. Its different but similar to deathnote, in that they both explore "human nature". It mightn't be your cup of tea but give it a try! Have you tried watching Code Geass? This is really good too!

If it's anything like Death Note, I'd most likely enjoy it a lot.

Well all the anime I usally watch are girly. Not sure if you'd enjoy them but i'll suggest some for you that are off the top of my head.(For Oreshura, I haven't watched enough to give you a good review.)
Ranma 1/2 is a classic. I very much suggest that one. It does have Bits and pieces of Fan-service. I don't know your views on that so i'll suggest it anyway.
Maid-sama is another semi-girly anime so I wouldn't suggest that for you.
Sket-Dance I haven't finished this one yet, but it's really funny and random. You'd probably like this one.

Sgt. Frog I've already suggested this, but seriously just go watch it now!

I sure am! I'm actually watching the anime because someone told me that it was better then the manga (Not sure if it is, since I just started watching it x3.)
I'm enjoying it so far!

Liar Game unlike Deathnote is a seinen manga: it's targeted at a slightly older audience. I just found it to be a more plausible than Death Note. The main character, Akiyama is less eccentric and more genuine.

I started reading it a while ago but I've forgotten where I stopped- I really must go back to it!

Have you tried watching/reading Gakuen Alice? It's a cute manga too!

I'll check it out. With Death Note, I understand the implausibility of some of it, but I just loved the dynamic between L and Light, both quirky, extremely intelligent characters. Also, the fact that Light starts out incredibly idealized is important, as it fits with the series' overall theme that power corrupts. Light starts out as a brilliant, deeply moral teenager, who becomes a ruthless homicidal maniac.

When you say cute anime/manga do you mean chibi, or that all the characters are just in adorable situations? Or is it the genre?
