Currently planning to watch / watching the following:

Sousou no Frieren s2
Chained Soldier s2
The Holy Grail of Eris
Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling

All four manga series are great. Frieren and Chained Soldier had great s1, and IMO need no introduction.

The Holy Grail of Eris is about a ghost akuyaku reijou trying to untangle the mystery of her own death, and Reincarnanated as a Dragon Hatchling is a lot like I'm a Spider, So What?.

Sentenced to be a Hero

I picked this series to watch on a whim, and I really liked the first episode, from the premise (hero as a criminal sentence, instead of a glory) to the design of the monsters and the bitter MC.

Noble Reincarnation
Hell Mode
There was a Cute Girl in the Hero’s Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her

...yes, I'm a sucker for isekai and reincarnation. Based on the associated manga series I don't expect those anime series to be great but at least fun. The sort of stuff you watch, enjoy, and then forget about.

Jack of All Trades, Master of None
An Adventurer’s Daily Grind at Age 29
Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord

Picked on a whim. Let's hope they're fun. If not, I can always dump them later.

Really unfortunate that the one I'm most interested in, Medalist, is one of the last ones to start.

I prefer dubs and like to binge watch so usually I end up waiting to near the end of the season plus one month to start a series. Makes spoiler dodging hard at times.
