If you find classroom Japanese stale, dry, or are mostly interested in reading Manga and watching Anime, this series is probably the best fit for you.

It has a surprisingly good base of information, in a fun approach, featuring real Manga as the source for it's examples. Of course you will find things like insults and swearing that is UNHEARD of in a standard text, but is necessary for anyone reading much Manga. Don't expect it to teach you much polite or business Japanese, but I suspect if you're reading this review, it isn't your goal :D
