Alright, the winter season is fully underway this week. Some impressions:

Frieren - We are so fucking back. Glad none of us got too emotional when season 1 ended, otherwise this reunion would be awkward...right? Great start to the season.
You and I Are Polar Opposites - Fantastic series so far. I have super enjoyed the main couple, but I think the cast of side characters have also been great. I love how supportive they have all been, no questions asked. Also, the VA for Suzuki is killing it; probably my favorite voice performance so far this season.
Oshi no Ko - Great start that sets the stage for what is to come. Looks as gorgeous as ever with a great MV in the premiere as well.
Chained Soldier - So far so good. Yuuki continues to be an object of interest to everybody.
The Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind - Episode 3 comes with a third sing-along segment. I hope they keep this up.
'Tis Time for Torture, Princess - The second season is just as needlessly well-produced as the first. I really enjoyed the first season and I am looking forward to more.
Samurai Troopers - Episode 2 was a big drop-off for me compared to the premiere. The story just isn't making a lot of sense. They are trying to redeem the main character (red warrior), but everybody just seems to be ignoring what happened in the first episode.
Tune in to the Midnight Heart - Episode 2 kind of showed the formula for this series. The MC does his best to help a girl solve some problem or overcome an obstacle, and in return gets some affection points with said girl. However, the MC is the most interesting character by far, setting itself apart from most other harems out there.

The Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind

Episode 3 comes with a third sing-along segment. I hope they keep this up.

I certainly wasn't expecting these Disney-like / kids' cartoon-like singalongs.

This is one of the most creative use of the animated medium IMO. You can't have such segments in printed form, but can easily do so in anime. The studio / director / etc understood the assignment when it came to this adaptation and did so in a way that not only value-add to the underlying story, but also captures the essence of it.

I am so glad that it was adapted as well as it was so far.
