The only anime I'd put in the same category of gripping every last bit of your attention (although with less clever and engaging writing that Death Note falls into and with a completely different atmosphere) is Mushishi.
I won't even describe it to you. Just download it (or buy it, i think there is a dub sold in north america now) and watch it. You will be glad.
