Ah, I almost forgot this thread wasn't just limited to anime, but since the guy did want to see recommendations of both:
Manga:
Given your other titles, the first recommendation that comes to mind:
One Piece. It only gets better and better after the Arlong Park arc. Might seem a little childish at first, but it's really good stuff.
You might also like Bakuman. Done by the same two bros who did Death Note, but genre's waay different. Still, it's a good manga worth checking out.
Now, some favorites of mine:
-One Piece
-Hotel (It's a one shot. Shouldn't take too long to finish)
-Hayate the Combat Butler/Hayate no Gotoku
-Mirai Nikki
-Yotsuba&!
-Ouran High School Host Club
-Mahou Sensei Negima
-Franken Fran
I definitely do like The World God Knows though, but I haven't read far enough to say if it's up there in my favorites yet. Watashi ni XX Shinasai! is also very nice, but not enough is released for me to say if it's a favorite of mine or not.
Ah: have you checked out the first FMA anime, by the way? I thought the point where it diverged from the manga did things very nicely, and was even better than the original source material at some points. Only things I didn't like were the changed up explanations about the homunculi, different person behind the seven homunculi, and the homunculi being really different here. Lust got really out of character at some point in the original series too.
