Damn. Like I said, I only have read Alita. Meh, I'll find it somewhere.

I didn't mean any character had an obession with brains-I meant the author. How many people/cyborgs got killed with their brains splattered or sliced up? I don't want to spoil anything for other forumites, but I really liked the theme of "What really makes us human?" that goes with what you're talking about. And what was deal with Desty and that flan? Is it really that good?

The running theme about humanity and what makes it was absolutely brilliant. Especially with the twist that takes in Last Order with Alita refusing to claim anything other than being "human" to anyone that asks her. Despite that whole cyborg problem, or that 99% of her body is metal.

As for Desty . . . yes . . . yes it is . . . have you ever had Flan?

And the high frequency in the first series of characters whose death was around their brain being spliced up or smashed was I think party out of a focus on making you KNOW this death is permanent (given that at certain points in the series as a whole there's street surgeons that find half dead people, tie them down and MAKE them cyborgs as a form of mugging) and partly out of the fact that most of them were Cyborgs. It's repeatedly shown that if a person's head, or brain survives, there's always a chance. (think about Hugo from the second volume)

Berserk.
It's dark, disturbing, and the art is unsurpassed.

If you read it on your computer, just be warned that a certain plot twist will make you throw your monitor out the window and destroy your computer with the nearest blunt object.

Shakugan no Shana...
Speed Grapher is actually pretty good in Manga form too.
I'll also 2nd (or whatever the count's up to) Gantz and Death Note

What about the sublime Detroit Metal City too?
(nerdy guy who dreams of being trendy, actually is employed as Krauser, lead singer in a costumed death metal band. At one point -in costume- he rapes Tokyo Tower for the lulz.)

Soul Eater is pretty good, Black Butler is awesome.
but if you want something darker try Hellsing.
And just because I want to I'll recommend "My Balls" which is a parody of hentai about a guy who gets the queen of Hell trapped in his testicle. and it is HILARIOUS
