I thought this would be a good idea, if anyone ever needed a new anime/manga to watch or read, then ask for suggestions in here.
Anime/Manga Recommendation Thread

I won't ask for anything, since I have enough reading and watching already, but I shall do recommendations.
Anime: Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte-Cristo, produced by GONZO. I watched the anime first and then read the book, I think it works much better that way. Gankutsuou looks amazing, sounds amazing and it has versatile characters and an excellent plot. Its length is 24 episodes. I'd recommend it to people who seek depth, character interactions, beauty and mysteries.
Manga: Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura. I haven't really read that much considering the current lenght of the series, but it has established itself as my all-time favourite manga. It has mostly pros and very minor cons IMO. Beautiful art and violence, well-written characters, an interesting plot and depth as well. For those who don't mind some drama within the action.

OH HELL YES! I'm so glad someone recommends Monster. I've only watched the anime and I've yet to finish it, but it's superb. I will definitely read the manga as well.
-
I read The Count of Monte Cristo before watching Gankutsuou, and really think it works better that way. The director does too, apparently.
-
I need a nice action manga with a good story. Has to have a good story. And fights that will make your heart pound and legs quiver of excitment. I love that.

Even if you don't like or never watch mecha anime before,you'll definitely like this anime,why I said that? cause it happened to me.EDIT:Oops,sorry,you're asking for manga right?I answered your question with an anime title
Well,you should read Katekyo Hitman Reborn! my 2nd favorite manga after One Piece.
And try Highschool of the Dead(Resident Evil+War of the Worlds),action-horror manga with gore but still have a good story.You can grab the chapters here:http://xamayon.org/hsotd.php -

You took the words right out of my mouth Cyringohn. I only recently got into it, but after reading the first few chapters I flew through the manga in like 3 weeks. Suspenseful, awesome/kickass characters and plot/subplots, a completely faithful anime with wonderful animation and superb soundtrack. The only manga/anime besides One Piece/Cowboy Bebop that made me scream at my computer screen.
By far, one of the greatest (if not the greatest) anime/manga out there.
Bottom Line: if you haven't read it-do so NOW!
Other Recommendations (with my personal ratings):
Slam Dunk (8/10 [only because I don't really like sports manga])
Berserk (9.5/10)
Vagabond (9.5/10)
D. Gray-Man (8/10) -
D Gray Man and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, the other and better Shonen Trinity (including One Piece.)

I hear alot about this Hitman Reborn. I may give it a try.

Manga: Hunter X Hunter, Hitman Reborn
Anime: Can't say, haven't been impressed with anime lately. I've just seen nothing of interest.
-
Someone recommend me an anime so bad that it'll lower my intelligence. Don't say Bleach, Naruto or DBZ. Nothing too gorey either.
-

D. Gray Man has been going downhill lately.

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan. A friend forced me to watch it, and it's so dumb that it's hilarious.

You lie.

It's just been going nowhere, and the art has been turning into generic muck.

Every single manga mangascreener scanslates. Those guys are the best.

I guess it's a matter of opinions. I did it the other way and it works perfectly.
I shall recommend Mushishi(both manga and anime) for those who like their manga & anime peaceful, quiet and beautiful.
-
Anime:
Giant Robo-an absolutely amazing seven episode OVA done in a retro style, with lots of over the top fighting and such, and if mecha anime aren't your cup of tea, the series focuses more on the super powered humans than robots
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann-don't let the hype ruin TTGL, it's very excellent and has plenty of hot-blooded actionManga:
BASTARD!!-this series gets no attention by the mainstream manga community, and should most definitely be read.I still have yet to read Monster, I should probably get on that.
-
It's just been going nowhere, and the art has been turning into generic muck.
I'm inclined to agree.
The art was really hard to follow before though.
Only thing I find keeping me reading is the style of the series. Can't really describe it further than that.

Could someone reccomend another manga?
…..hitman reborn is not doin it for me. I don't like it. o.o
I already am reading (and enjoying):
Berserk.

Uh…I don't know. Try Fairy Tail or HxH.

Have you just read the first 8(?) volumes? The story doesn't become good until the Kokuyou arc, and it becomes great during the Rings arc.
-
Nnn…..not really.
I like Reborn and all, but I don't think the story is anything amazing.
and if you don't like the first volumes, you probably don't like the characters. If that's true, there really is no point in reading further as there are other straight action mangas to read out there.(without the comedy for 7 volumes)
Try D.Grayman and 666 Satan. FMA may be more your tastes as well if you like those 3.(seems you like less cartoony, more plot driven action material.)

I used to watch FMA. But I stopped at Ep 20 somethin. Dont get me wrong it was amazing. I know the anime did not follow the manga so would I have to start all over again if I were to read FMA? 666 Satan seems like a rip off of Naruto and I hated Naruto. I spent countless hours watching the Anime. I watched the first ep of D.GrayMan seemed okay. I just started reading manga.
-
I meant manga for all of them
and no, I think the FMA anime and manga were the same for the most part(save for minor differences) up until a point.
You could start from the beginning, but you don't need to if you find where you left off.
and the anime was horrible(good thing you didn't finish it)
I wish I read the manga first so I'd like it more.

You could start from the beginning, but you don't need to if you find where you left off.
Even during the early parts where they were relatively the same, there are still things different in the early FMA manga that people reading it need to know about.
So if anybody's going to start the manga, start with Chapter 1.
It's not THAT bad. Damn, people act like it's one of the worst animes to ever come into existence.
The last 1/3 of the show was stupid as fuck.
-
Yea, I'd read from the beginning.
Since the anime portrays some awesome characters as complete douchebags.(Kimbley and Basque gran come to mind)
and if you watch the anime first, and get associated with the fanbase, you will not enjoy the manga nearly as much

Greed getting killed by Ed.
The fuck…
Also, I love how in the anime they turn Kimbley into a fucking half robot.
-
Kimbley wasn't turned into to a half-robot. I distinctly remember Scar putting a whole through his all-flesh chest. You're talking about that other guy (who's name I cannot remember at the moment).
And I dug the FMA anime, but whatever.

But he is the new Greed, so maybe shit's looking up.

Yeah, that's deforming him pretty well so far. One of Greed's powers must be a super chin.

Just about all the homonculus from the anime were fucking terrible. Especially Lust.
"OH GOD I NEED TO BE HUMAN. OTHERWISE, WHAT I FEEL IS JUST FAKE."

@Cyringohn:

"OH GOD I NEED TO BE HUMAN. OTHERWISE, WHAT I FEEL IS JUST FAKE."
That's better than manga Lust, at least. I mean, the only notable character trait she had was being a total bitch.
-
Greed was the only anime homonculus I liked
Since he was like the only one that wasn't turned into a douche
Except he got bested by fucking Ed…...
-
That's better than manga Lust, at least. I mean, the only notable character trait she had was being a total bitch.
Being a bitch is infinitely better than being a sappy little fuckshit that whines and moans about not being human so she can be with some human dude that doesn't give a damn about her.
Lust, in the anime, turned out to be a bitch that was actually a sob story. At least the Lust in the manga had a pretty neat encounter with Mustang and died with a cocky smile on her face.
-
Yeah Lust was terrible in the anime
I hated that episode with the people turning into stone or whatever
And how she pretty much rebelled against the others for no reason
