Watch Death Note. Right now. Hands down one of the most important staple animes that every budding otaku must watch. It contains ZERO typical anime humour, is mostly dark and it is really clever.
1# Death Note is considered to be the greatest anime ever created. While that is debatable (as someone who's watched hundreds upon hundreds of anime series) I can say that it is a classic. To help you out a bit, let me give you a run down of the story and if you're still intrigued then watch it.
Death Note is about a 17-year-old genius from Japan, called Light Yagami, who is bored and angry with the "rotten world." One day he stumbles across a diary dropped by a Death God (Shingami) entitled "Death Note" which has the capacity to kill anyone, whose name is written in it. Light takes this opportunity to become a God by killing criminals, perceiving it as ethical and just. Of course, in doing so, he actually becomes more like the Devil known as Kira, consumed with divine power and the intelligence to outsmart ANYONE through strategic and manipulative tactics. Well, almost anyone...
Light's "righteous path" won't be easy however, as another impeccable genius and detective, known as L, is working against Light's beliefs and Light himself. Suddenly, Light has met his intellectual match and the story turns into a survival game that involves genius against genius. You enter the mind of two brilliant psychological minds , who battle to stay 10 steps ahead of each other by anticipating one another's strategic moves. L has to catch Light, who he suspects to be Kira with irrefutable proof and Kira needs to find out "L's" real name in order to kill him, before the genius detective has chance to reveal who Light really is. It is a battle between Gods and men.

Left psychologically scarred
Forget anime.
Happy Tree Friends.
And all the first episodes.
And all the seasons.
I don't regret anything.
let us hold a funeral for our fallen soldier....
