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.
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”.

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.
Naww. Your numbers don't track.

Death Note is without a doubt the best place to start in my opinion.
I haven't seen Angel beats in here yet, but that one was pretty solid. It was one of my firsts.
I'll just suggest some shows in the order I watched them (or some order, I don't remember exactly):
-
Dragon Ball Z (though the pacing is frustrating... You could try playing Kakarot instead though)
-
Dragon Ball Super (much better pacing)
-
One Punch Man
-
Naruto (it's long but worth it)
-
Hunter x Hunter
-
Sword Art Online
-
Deathnote
-
Seven Deadly Sins (though be aware that there's some consent issues here, though they do craft an interesting scenario for it that I can't give away without spoiling)
