True story: I passed the 2-kyuu without really studying for it just from having read so very much porn. Never underestimate the power of studying through something you actually enjoy, and how much easier it is to memorize and remember something you're truly interested in.

(It's N1 that's the kicker. So much academic Japanese - all the anime, manga, doujinshi, and dramas in the world ain't gonna do shit. I actually had to cram for that one.)

Speak for yourself.

/passed N1 with no cramming or studying at all, only enjoying the same media I always had...

Everyone learns in different ways, and N1 is hardly all academic

[ariakas]

Well, you will note that I used the first person singular there, champ. In English, that means me, not you. It is the very definition of speaking for oneself. So... I will! And did!

Those are some damned intellectual anime, manga, and doujinshi then! Hook a fellow weeaboo up with some recs!

[agentcthulhu]

Not the person you replied to. I don't know what you count as intellectual media so this is a list of Japanese media that I can remember off the top of my head with specific and unusual topics.

Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師) - military ranks, names of chemical elements, probably other nerdy things I can't remember right now

Night Raid 1931 (閃光のナイトレイド) - anime series about a Japanese military spy organization sent to Shanghai, China in the 1930s. I haven't watched this but it should have a lot of early 20th century political and military lingo.

Silver Spoon (銀の匙) - another manga by Hiromu Arakawa (荒川 弘). This one tells the story of a city boy attending a rural agricultural high school.

Victorian Romance Emma (英國戀物語エマ) - an anime series of a romance story set in the late 19th century Victorian London.

Yakitate!! Ja-pan (焼きたて!! ジャぱん) - punny, hilariously over-the-top series about competitive baking.

Oishinbo (美味しんぼ), a gourmet cooking manga. This is not the cooking manga I was thinking of but it's probably the most famous one of the genre.

Detective Conan (名探偵コナン) - I can't think of a nerdier popular manga than this.

Galileo (ガリレオ) - yet another detective series. This is a live action show with real life physics and mathematics. The episode where one of the characters was working on a proof of thefour color theorem made my inner nerd squee.

[ariakas]

Awesome! Thanks a million! Been looking for some, er, shall we say higher brow Japanese media.

[agentcthulhu]

Ha, I know what you mean. Genre fatigue is a thing. There's only so much shonen I can take before my brain turns to mush. :P

Are there specific topics or events you're looking for? One thing I do know is that, no matter how ridiculous the topic is, there is probably manga of it. For a medium where there's everything from farming (Gin no Saji/銀の匙) to bdsm slaves (Zettai Reido/絶体隷奴), I've long since stop being surprised by what's out there.
