My recommendations:
Anime:
Eureka Seven - My favorite anime, if it wasn't for Cardcaptor Sakura's greatness. E7 is of decent length (50 episodes), and giant robots who surf in the sky. Top-notch animation, as well.
Manga:
Yotsuba&! - Easy to pick up, easy to read, easy to enjoy. Each chapter is rather episodic, being a slice-of-life series. There's nothing over-the-top or unbelievable, just everyday humor through the eyes of a child.
The Kyon order is definitely better for first time watchers. The anachronism adds to the illusion that the Haruhi world is already established and developed, which represents the very random/bipolar personality of its main mistress, Haruhi herself. The show does many things well and puts them all together in an excellent balance. Haruhi order is better if you're trying to wrap your head around the show after having seen it in Kyon order. Just leave out the middle six episodes of Endless Eight, and add in the other six episodes from the second season and you've got a pretty solid storyline. If you can handle the K-On-inspired animation.Quote:

That is all.
On a more serious note, as far as newer stuff goes since some people have already mentioned Gurren, I'd say Bakemonogatari is pretty solid. They do some artistic "cop-outs" because of their low budget about 2/3 of the way through the series (well, it's most noticeable there, anyway), but overall it's a pretty interesting show.
Bakemonogatari was pretty great until said cop-outs. Then it got incredibly irritating.
Oh, and the ED to Bakemonogatari is easily one of my favorites.

Nana
Manga:

Sailor Moon
The DVD releases make the show worthy of more appreciation. And they stop cutting out to black, red, brown, and white frames.Quote:

I also really like DBZ, but that's because when I was a kid I'd run around my backyard pretending to be Piccolo. I wish I had his shoes. And Hetalia Axis Powers because it's the most ridiculously funny stuff ever.
Why the hell is nobody mentioning One Piece. It's the most awesome manga ever (on par with Berserk) and the anime adaption is a pretty good one. I don't watch that much anime anymore, the animation and pacing suck most of the time, I prefer just reading the manga. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is awesome though.
The manga is great, but I find the pacing of the anime to be too slow. The best jokes are too drawn out to be funny.Quote:
