I liked deathnote and can say it's a good anime. However, I think the hype around it kept me from enjoying it fully. It's like I didn't get to like it of my own accord, I kind of had to like it. Despite the fact that I can't point out anything right now, and maybe only a little when I think about it, that was wrong with it.
I recently watched black lagoon. And was pleasantly surprised, despite some of the character interactions not making sense or being poorly translated (couldn't find sub, had to go dub). If I'd watched that show 15 years ago, it would probably have been my favorite anime. It also made me realize the east looks at weaponry in a different way than the west. Weapons, including guns, are more of an extension of the self in anime. While in cartoons, they tend to be more like a tool anyone can use. It's like... anime treats gunfights as if they are sword-fights.
