Some early impressions of the season:

City the Animation - Fantastic so far. The production quality is off the charts and the humor is connecting for me. Nichijou is my go-to feelgood anime, so this show never fails to make me feel good as well.
Silent Witch - This adaptation has been better than I could have hoped for. Monica is a lot of fun as a main character and Nero is a great supporting cat. Also, by far my favorite villainess of this season.
Vending Machine - I have enjoyed season 2 so far, but I feel like the pacing is pretty slow. I remember reading that there wasn't much left of the source after the first season, so perhaps they are stretching what little there is over the whole cour.
Mikadono Sisters - I have read/watched lots of harem shows and this one is not bad. The MC is actually likeable and the three sisters are all meaningfully distinct from one another.
7th Prince - The production of this show continues to impress. I know many are likely to get turned off by Lloyd's character design, outfits, camera angles, all of it really...but if you can look past that, the animation in this show really goes off when it wants to.
New Saga - I have ended up liking this more than I thought I would. I didn't remember the beginning of the story too well since it had been so long since I read the manga. It has kept me watching so far. I don't think they are making it the whole way through the story this season, but I have feelings about the story's ending, so I will probably drop this at some point.
Dan Da Dan - Season 2 has been fine for me, but one thing in particular has been excellent. The animation of Jiji in the fights the past two episodes has been stellar. I absolutely love the way they have animated him and his abilities. I just want more of Jiji kicking a ball around, is that too much to ask? I think we know where all the frames for Blue Lock ended up now, Dan Da Dan stole them.

I loved Nichijou and so looked forward to CITY, I'm so glad it came out so good. The absolute batshit insanity that I hoped it would be. No Episode has gone by without me having a real good belly laugh.

Ugly Mug Epicfighter - Watched up to episode 3 now. It's budget anime, but the humor and gags have been creative enough to enjoy so far. Unlikely to breach 6/10 territory but I'll finish it unless the quality quickly nosedives like that trash 2025 water mage anime.

Gachiakuta - First two episodes out have me hooked. Love a good revenge power fantasy, and this one looks well done/stylish. Overconsumption in your Bioshock Infinite floating city is based and recycling is a social and literal death sentence. Very subtle.

BULLET BULLET - This I went into blind. It's too loud and crazy. The lack of grounding really lost me by episode 2. I don't care about what's happening at all. I think I wanted a Mad Max anime, but it's far sillier than even Studio Trigger works. Honestly it's well made and I bet most people will like it. I'm not target audience.

CITY - Fantastic. Art style translated well I assume from manga. Great humor and a happy show to watch.
