              Kaya-chan Isn’t Scary - Literally unwatchable. Constant screen shake and flicker were starting to give me a headache, which is a shame because it seemed interesting otherwise. Dropped half way in.
Noble Reincarnation - Two episodes in and I'm not sure it has a plot or really any reason to keep watching, not that I expected much...
Easygoing Territory Defense - Took 1.5 episodes to actually get to the titular territory. Pacing seems very slow. Maybe it will finally pick up in episode ~~2~~ 3
Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None - Typical kicked out of the hero's party but was secretly the only reason they were successful story. Another with slow pacing, especially when so much of it is well trod tropes.
The Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind!! - Cute, maybe too cute. First episode seemed like it was aimed at a young audience.
Roll Over and Die - Happy to see this get an anime and for the light novel to come back from the dead. Anime seemed fine. Nothing spectacular, but fine. Next episode or two should tell a lot.
Sentenced to Be a Hero - First episode set a high bar. Art, world, characters, etc. all seem solid. Did have a slow start and I'm not sure it will hold up if/when the episodes are shorter.
The Holy Grail of Eris - could be the guilty pleasure of the season. The setup/betrayal scene was painfully cliché, but that must have been on purpose because it perfectly setup what followed...
Champignon Witch - I really underestimated this one. The melancholy storybook vibe really works for it and I love the creative whimsy and underlying uncertainty of it. Stuff like how the few humans she is on good terms with act polite but still exhibit prejudiced (using masks or incense when she visits) but that prejudice isn't unfounded (she seems to naturally produce poison). Or in the second episode where she seems to fall in love, but the guy is a bit of a playboy and it is unclear how much of their short romance was caused by her magic.
