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.

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

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.
