Any shows with language like チ you’d recommend? With “compound words”?

I loved チ(地球の運動について). I am N2 in level in listening and speaking. That’s my guess.

チ definitely was hard for me to listen to. But not in a way where it felt specialized. I learned really useful vocab and especially kanji.

I don’t really read Japanese (I know, I’m getting into it now since I stopped experiencing real vocab gains about 4 months ago). My reading comprehension is probably around a 10th of my listening comprehension. I just generally prefer listening.

The vocab used in チ was hard, but also highly logical. They used tons of “compound words” — 真理、合理的、理屈的, 地動説 which are sort of just other words or kanji combined (like un-intel-ligible in English). once I learned these types of words it unlocked a whole new set of words due to the highly modular kanji used. Other words used in the same series became much easier to guess the meaning of due to this. The words themselves are also super memorable due to being dramatically stated.

I’d love another series like this. I haven’t learned that much from an anime in a long while. I’ve watched hard anime before, but it always felt like the words I didn’t know had little connection to one another or were less foundational. 理屈的 feels like such an important word. Does anyone have recommendations like this? Any would be appreciated!
