Seeking new show/movie recs

Another quickie post, I'm afraid, but I have a question for anyone who actually has time to do more than skim the Anime News Network in the mornings. What's looking good in the fall anime season? Any promising Noitamina shows? Anything that looks a little different from the usual genre/otaku-bait shows? I've moved away from my RL anime friends and miss their casual advice!
I am also open to recs for North American/live-action shows with fannish potential. Is "Once Upon a Time" any good?

Date: 2011-12-23 04:09 am (UTC)I've enjoyed your posts. Everything has been helpful as I try to break into anime/manga, my weak link as an academic.
I read today that Drawn and Quarterly is going to release Tatsumi Yoshihiro's "Fallen Words," which I assume is based on his 2009 "Gekiga yose: Shibahama." I'm wondering, have you had a chance to read this yet? I haven't, and am going to check it out in prep for the translation. Being a rakugo specialist, this may be the best "in" for me as I approach anima/manga studies.
Cheers,
Matt
