For manga i only read naruto and death note because i don't want to spend the time to read any others.

I haven't really watched much anime but my roommates are really into it and i loved Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Baccano. They keep trying to talk me into watching Code Geass but i kinda am watching all of Stargate. 10 seasons :-o!

Let me know when you've watched episode 100, and also episode 200, so we may revel in their awesomeness.

Oh, and Citizen Joe.

Oh, and Window of Opportunity.

Dammit, they're all good!

Legend of Koizumi.

Why? Because you have all the world leaders stereotyped to the extreme playing deadly games of mahjong (the 4-person tile game, not that computer crap) on the moon to defeat Nazis who are trying to destroy the world!

'Nuff said.

A new favourite of mine is Legal Drug (apparently Lawful Drug in Japan). I know I sound like a total yaoi fangirl, but I really just wish they would've given a more definitive ending where Kazahaya and Rikuo got together. Alas, it's off to fanfiction.net for me!

This is the first one I ever bought.

It's because it's not done, nor will it ever be. Shame they put an infinite hold on it after only 3 chapters; it was one of the very few I actually enjoyed.

Forget about two guys, if you watch Dragonball Z you can see a BUNCH of jacked up guys wrestling with each other; only reason I watched it... Lol I did actually really enjoy that show as a child.

The only reason it was worth it was because Vegeta was the shit. (Then he had kids with Bulma and became whipped to an extent, which was disappointing).

I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to anime/manga. I watched Death note last month, that was one of the first anime I have seen. I loved everything Dragonball growing up as well as Shaman King. My next goal is to watch Code Geass and then maybe read the Death note manga to compare it to the anime.

A word of advice:

As with movies made from books, anime rarely stand up to manga. It's better not to compare them at all, but to let them stand alone as their own stories separate of each other. Otherwise, you may find yourself horribly depressed.

This can also apply to musicals.

Of course, but as they are both essentially the same story some comparisons will form naturally no matter how hard you try to stop them.

I agree with xolik. anime is plagued by a tendency to look very similar to each other, and those adapted from much slower-moving manga leads to what tvtropes calls "inaction sequences" oh, and it just isnt very creative. everything is based off of or contains references to old Japanese myths, it seems. compare that to the frequency that, say, Greek myths show up in western animation.
