It's been ages since I've read a manga or watched an anime all the way through.
Here are the anime I've watched:
Afro Samurai
School Rumble (I want more episodes :()
Gurren Lagann (Best ever)
Deathnote
Shin Chan
Gunslinger Girl
I haven't read much manga either. Any recommendations my only criteria are no more 50 or so episodes for anime or 30 manga volumes.
