Next question, if you were to suggest just one anime and one manga what would they be? (this will narrow my initial search and see if we have similar tastes, and might even get others to check em out )
|Note: doesn't have to be your favorite|

These are mine:
Anime
Black Lagoon - Pretty well written and action packed

Manga
Fate stay night - Beautiful drawings, epic battles, and ancient hero's brought to life in an acceptable way
