You need to watch the sort of anime where there's blood flying everywhere in action scenes...

Just kidding.
There are several anime and manga that explore interesting themes, actually.
You can also learn a bit of Japanese culture through manga and anime. (But please don't think Japan is anime-land!!)
An observation: if you like JRPGs for their stories, you'll probably like anime and manga.
