Does anybody know of some pretty good anime(or manga)that break the 4th wall alot? I love it when it happens so I would like to see if there are some good one's out there.
Breaking the 4th wall means the character talking about them being in the anime or manga or game |

Not to get technical or whatever, but 'breaking the 4th wall' means that a character talks directly to the audience, acknowledging the fact that someone is watching them. They don't necessarily have to talk about themselves though. |

The only one that comes close (that I can think of right now) is Kodomo no Omocha. Babbit-chan talks to the audience a lot...but he's kinda like a narrator character anyway.

Technically, Excel Saga does this as well.
Oh, and the Naruto ep 26-27 does this as well IIRC Nothing else comes to mind though. |

You recall correctly. spoiler[Naruto, Sasuke, & Sakura stalled for time during the first half-hour while Kakashi delivered the tape of episode twenty-seven. Funny stuff.] |

Wait, wasn't it Naota that turns to the "audiance' and talks to "us" when Haruko is acting like a drugged-up Elvis? |

in Dragonhalf, one character actually complains to the audience that all their lines were left out of the script lol.

In Fullmetal Alchemist, there's one episode where Hughes gets a phone call from Mustang... who complains about not having enough screen time recently
. The effect is particularly funny because FMA is a relatively serious show and Mustang is one of the most dead-serious characters in that show. I guess that "breaking the 4th wall" only works well if done sparsely. Otherwise it's just a lazy way to come up with gags.

theres been a few were one character will say something to other along the lines of what do you think this is some sort of anime. I just cant remember any names right now as I've seen alot of stuff so its hard to keep track.
