RE: Anime Recommendations
Death Note is what also got me into anime. When you finish that, do exactly what your friend said and watch Code Geass, it's just as good as Death Note. When you finish that you can watch any of these anime I'm about to mention, and you'll most likely enjoy them, trust me.
-Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Amazing anime, I actually have it above Death Note, but that's just my opinon)
-Elfen Lied (There's a lot of gore, but the story is actually really, really good and in depth, but it's only 13 episodes)
-Steins;Gate (This is a new anime that just recently finished airing, if you liked DN, you'll probably like this)
-Higurashi (Also a lot of gore in this, but it has that thriller/mystery element like DN had, so you might like this)
There's much more, but I think you should start with these. Check them out at least.
