im a big manga/anime fan too. my favourites are
Death Note, Gantz, Elfen Lied, Tenjou Tenge, Naruto, Bleach
im more into violent animes than the cute ones....
though i must admit, if u ever need to see a love story anime,
WATCH THIS ONE CALLED: Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien , it teared me apart, damn it hurt...
