For manga look up the line up in shojo beat[vampire knight, sand cronicles, crimson hero, honey and clover, haruka, honey hunt]. If you like weirder manga like thrillers or psycological try the adaptation of the ring and mushi shi. sports manga try prince of tennis or eyeshield 21. shonen ai try loveless or gravitation. ummm uber hyper cute manga try fall in love like a comic or anything by arina tanemura. bleach[shimigami and spirit power and monsters] naruto[you should know but ninjas and crazy ninja things like that] and deathnote[very inteletual, action, dark, another pyscological one] are good as well. cute romance; there are a lot of manga published under shojo beat and tokyo pop. NANA is my favorite manga. azu manga dayou is good manga and the anime.

For anime try hayao miazaki films. anime series its really all up to what genre your looking for.
most manga that I listed above have english dub and english sub anime series as well.

some good ones are:
full metal panic[fumofu and second raid]
the melancoly of suzumiya haruhi
full metal alchemist
bleach
naruto
tsubasa resevior cronicles
kiddy grade
suzukinka
ruroni kenshin
strawberry marshmellow[ this has no plotbut its very cute and calm]
saiyuki[lots of battles and demons]
code geass
samurai champloo
moon phase
NANA
