Death Note is a popular answer, and I also agree that its ideal stopping point is…

Death Note

L’s death

Bocchi the Rock is another show that I felt would be at its best if it stopped at episode eight. If the upcoming compilation movie stops there, I may consider it superior to the TV series. It’s not unheard-of. Violet Evergarden’s film-length recap stopped at Episode 10.

I want to see more of Bocchi-chan's rock!

The title drop + roll credits is its peak and climax. I hoped its finale would be amazing. However, episode eight overshadowed episode 12. Everything after E8 felt like a lede for an S2.

What are yours?

    but noooooo, they had to make almost 100 episodes of pure filler…

    EDIT: Bleach could also be cut in half and be better off. On second thought, almost all shonen seems to be like this
