Uh well if you like humor and action I think Soul Eater and Blue Exorcist and Full Metal Alchemist are great examples. 
 
In the last days I watch Watashi ga motenai no wa dou kangaetemo omaera ga warui (I know long title - only 12 episodes). It's a girl, who is a outsider of the school and she try to integrate in her class but in the ways she do...it's complete hilarious. Really hilarious. 
 
And do you heared about Dangan Ronpa (around 13 episodes)? It is a PSP game and an anime. Monobear, a principal of a school and a teddybear put students with different personalities in his school. The only way to get out of the school is, that one character have to kill another. Is one corpse found, a school trial opens and the other students have to find the offender. Otherwise they will be killed and the murderer can go out of the school.  
 
For Cartoons. Well I watch now a lot, but I don't think you like He-Man P: 
Now on ...Hub (I don't know which channel) there is Ultimative Spider-Man and well it's mixed with action and humor. 2 Seasons and I think the super heroes are well represented (like Wolverine, Deadpool or Nick Fury) and Spider-Man has this old attitude to be a nerd in school, but a superhero in the battles (like in the old movies).
