Uh... you do realize Manga is the comic book one and anime is the video one right? Just because of the mentioning of FLCL.
That said... I found FLCL just... dreadful. It's from that Evangelion school of, "lets throw a bunch of stuff against the wall, and hope it sticks and people will think we're deep" school of story writing.

FLCL i thought was pure genre parody, so i was able to enjoy it, unlike Evangelion which was indeed the height of pretension
As for the OT: I'd recommend Welcome to the NHK. It runs in a similar vein to Onani Master Kurosawa.
But i tend to have poor taste. I like tits, explosions, and over-the-top characters (not necessarily in that order), so i venture off in the world of the big three and associated ecchi (Queen's Blade) or downright weirdness like Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt , even if i do feel that Naruto and Bleach have severely lost track of themselves. Yeah, Bleach is doing something new finally, but who should care after doing the same singular arc for so long, and Naruto should've killed Sasuke a loooooong time ago, though i am insane for One Piece
Actually, another solid recommendation for people with better taste than i (but something i also found appealing) was Ah! My Goddess, though i watched the anime because, unlike the manga, it had two seasons and fifty some episodes, and hasn't run monthly for twenty friggin' years. Imagine a quasi-harem anime, yet one where the protagonist and his partner have, in twenty years, yet to get further than first base. Sounds maddening, i know, but the world introduces a mythology and over-the-top characters that you can, at the same time, really care for, and observe their growth and really cheer for as well.
