This season’s ERASED (Boku dake ga Inai Machi) is a good mystery/thriller/time-travel-lite with cinematic presentation and a strong emotional resonance (I’ve teared up several times so far). You’ll probably like it if you liked the thriller aspects of Stein’s;Gate, but it lacks truly original ideas or deep philosophical meaning so far.
For a more niche appeal this season, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu has a grown-up, literary sort of take on Rakugo (traditional Japanese storytelling/comedy) in the 40′s and 70′s, with a focus on friendship and rivalry.
