Manic Panic is awful for your hair. I suggest Joico or Pravana.

I don't find manic panic so awful.. Also I wasn't really happy with how pravana worked for me. But I know a lot of people like it

I think manic panic is really nice actually. It leaves my hair soft after I color it. The only problem is that it washes out very fast since it is a semi permanent dye.

I actually had great success when I used Manic Panic. Other brands that I liked were Ion color brilliance brights, Loreal Hicolor hilites, and the One-n-Only Argan oil vivids.

Pravana is my #1 fave.
Manic panic is pretty good but I just make sure to leave it on for a pretty good amount of time and make sure your hair is very saturated with the color

Manic panic and special effects are generally the longest lasting on the majority of people. I like special effects best. I can usually get 6+ months without major fading or having to redye. Whereas ion lasted two washes for my hair, but lasts long on some people. Punky colors lasted about a 3-4 washes on my hair. But every hair is different, and the brand/color that works for one may last one wash in your hair, or the one that lasts one wash in someones hair may last 4 months in your hair. Its very much an expirement. 

Manic panic, special effects, directions and punky color are all veggie pigment mixed with conditioner. Which means it won't damage your hair and you can literally leave it on for hours and it'll be like a hair mask. Splat, joico, raw, and ion are chemically made, so they can be drying, you can still leave it on for hours, its not damaging it's just a bit drying. Like using a crappy shampoo and conditioner. These ones are more likely to stain, so if you plan on changing colors I'd stick to veggie dye. I don't recommend any chemically made dye though, it's most likely to stain making it impossible to get out (this doesn't mean it lasts longer, just that you'll always have a ____ color tint to your hair) and it can be hard to use for beginners since it's very thick or watery and hard to get even if you aren't used to it. It also has zero conditioning agents in it, because it's not a true veggie dye like manic panic, special effects etc.which is veggie pigment and conditioner, ion is chemically made pigment and preservatives to make it last in the tube longer.

I've had huge success with manic panic. it's easily my favorite brand of dye and there's so many colors to choose from. also they have both creme and liquid dye so you can choose the consistency you likw.
