* Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu 昭和元禄落語心中

** I had it on the list before, this was a show that spent 11½ episodes in an extended flashback. I took it off the list because I didn't feel I could push half a story, but now the second season is airing, which is more like the actual second half of the show. Now that it looks like the story is actually going to get completed, I think it's very much a viable option. Consider this to be a historical drama centered on the art form of live storytelling, and the tribulations life throws at the characters as they try to learn and ply their art. For me this show stands out as being a genre I don't usually watch, yet I found very absorbing and something I was/am looking forward to each week. --maxb

* Seiren セイレン

** A school rom-com on the silly side. More amusement than actual romance. The male protagonist is a bit of a bland nothing character, but I think that's basically the point - he's just there to enable the shenanigans. This is the show doing three 4-episode arcs each with a different girl - though, it seems the girls are going to occasionally cross into each other's stories. To my mind this is more slot 4/5 material than slot 6. --maxb
