I highly recommend King of Bandits Jing for anyone who loves action and a bit of comedy. :3

I am sure Bushy or his GF could point you in the right direction. I doubt it. He told me Ouran High School Host Club was bad. Slander! I really enjoyed FullMetal Alchemist (the original and Brotherhood), Ouran High School Host Club, Ranma 1/2, Cowboy Bebop, and I'm sure plenty others I can't think of XD

I KNEW IT I knew as soon as your eyes laid on this topic, it would go to that! D< Ouran is OKAY. It's certainly not the best thing ever, but it isn't horrible, either.

Yeah, Fullmetal Alchemist is really good, and it's one of the better known ones, as well. Action/comedy/drama/steampunk-ish. =D

I don't read/watch much anime/manga any more, I became more of a Comic Book fan so some of my stuff is dated. BUT! Some of my favorite series are still running (and are the only series I still follow)
One Piece -One Piece is a phenomenal piece of Shounen Manga, and with being one of the most read Shounen Manga in Japan and easily the most popular SJ title since Dragon Ball it's definitely a good read. My general rule on shounen series, with Death Note obviously being one of the exceptions. Read the Manga and watch anime for the fights. Anime adaptations of manga, especially shounen drags on and is filled with filler because of fear of catching up way to close to the manga and running into a production wall.
Avoid the 4kids dub like the plague. The Funimation dub on the other hand is quite good, but I feel like the manga is the best way to go. If you don't feel like reading through all the chapters read summaries of previous arcs and characters and hop into the latest chapters. The series just had it's first time skip so that's a great jumping on point.
The Manga-Ka Eiichiro Oda is a HUGE Dragon Ball fanboy so if you even remotely like the Dragon Ball series you'll love One Piece.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure -The second longest running SJ series at 25 years. But don't let that discourage you too much. It's broken up into (currently) 8 different parts many of which do call back to other parts but many of them are easy enough to read as stand alones. The story revolves around the Joestar bloodline and their battles against evil throughout the years spanning from the late 1800s to current times. It doesn't have the greatest story in the world, but the fights and powers characters have are some of the best I've seen in any series period. The Manga-ka Hirohiko Araki is a HUGE western music fan so many of his characters are named after musicians and bands we'd be familiar with, which is part of the reason most of the series has not been brought over here.
Berserk -If you like Game of Thrones, then you'll love Berserk. Bloody, gritty, medieval fantasy craziness. It is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC but it's written wonderfully and has beautiful art.
Other series I've enjoyed -FLCL -Outlaw Star -Tenchi Muyo -G Gundam -Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann -Baccano! (Didn't finish it but what I watched I liked)
And that's all I got off the top of my head.

DB, DBZ are my favorite from when I was a bit younger. Cowboy Bebop is a must watch. FLCL is also really good.... and Pokemon I guess is alright.
