Have you *read* Hellsing? It had Nazis. NAZIS! And a badass mercenary crew! AND A FREAKING AIRSHIP RAID! London got overrun by Nazi zeppelins! And the anime has what? A guy with a grenade launcher chained to his manboobs?
Oh, and both the manga and Ultimate have Alucard "failing" (not really trying) a deck landing of a blackbird.

well, he (through the magic of plot holes) manages to get himself into a blackbird. the blackbird was never meant to land on a carrier. he has to land it on a carrier. he "lands" it in the only manner one would think it possible to make contact with the carrier and not go flying off the deck. explosions ensue.
I don't knwo what the manga is like, but I could not STAND the Hellsing anime. I was so SICK of Alucard's ###### by episode 3. I mean, I don't mind having main protagonists that are badass, but that ######-eating "look at me I'm CRAZY AND KINDA EVIL LOL" grin of his got really old really fast.

A couple new series came out recently, but so far, the one with the most Win is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
Essentially the main male character is ultra emo and wants to kill himself. He's a teacher. The main female character is ultra positive. She's his student.
The animation pretty good, and the comedy reminds me a bit of Ouran Host Club <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

As Windows XP is criticized for bloating a system and being very pretty without being as useful, XP-tan is commonly depicted wearing tight clothing with large breasts. Additionally, as a reference to the memory usage of Windows XP, she is often seen eating or holding an empty rice bowl labeled "Memory".

She is typically drawn as an intelligent, professional, reserved looking woman with short blue hair, glasses, and hair clips that resemble cat ears flanking a small white bonnet or ruffle, similar to a maid's bonnet, that shows the Windows logo. Her outfit resembles a swimsuit suggesting the Windows logo colors worn with long blue coat, alluding to the popular opinion that Windows 2000 is the most stable and dependable of the Windows operating systems. Due to the greater stability of Win2K compared with WinME, which was released near 2000, 2K-tan is often described as the guardian of ME-tan. The particular shade of blue used in most drawings is similar to the default Windows 2000 desktop color.
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Me-jpb.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> The design of ME-tan, the personification of Windows Me, is very much in line with the Japanese concept of kawaii or cuteness. Her design has changed little from the artist's original designs[6] and is depicted with green hair in long pigtails wearing a maid outfit with a ! badge on the front in the spirit of the Windows yellow error icon. While she is considered to be a hard worker, webcomics often depict her failing at anything she tries to do, often literally crashing and irritating her sisters. Additionally, when she is not frozen or out of control, she tends to do things showing a lack of common sense or knowledge, such as putting soda into a microwave oven.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Both Necro and I would highly, highly, highly recommend <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayonara_Zetsub%C5%8D_Sensei" target="_blank">Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei</a>. I was laughing quite hard for most of the second episode.
