I have been traveling recently, but have had a chance to check out a couple new shows this season. Some early impressions:

Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage - Holy production value Batman! This one has been a joy to watch, based on the animation quality on its own. The story has been whatever, but that isn't why I am watching this at this point.
Reborn as a Space Mercenary - As somebody that played EVE Online for like 15 years, the universe this is set in stokes those same nostalgic embers. The story has been fine so far, but I am loving the world it has built more. Keeping this one for now.
World's Strongest Witch - I love this manga, and the anime has been fine so far. I am looking forward to this continuing to be more and more unhinged as we go.
Romelia War Chronicle - This has been an interesting adaptation that I have mixed feelings about. I still think I am overall liking it more than not, but comparing the manga adaptation with the choices they have made in the anime has been really interesting.

Returning shows:

Reincarnated Aristocrat - more of the same as previous seasons...still liking this one.
Reincarnated as a Sword - the production value has seen a significant step up for this season in my opinion. Same old lovable characters, but now with extra juicy action animation.
