Getting into the Fall season and I have some initial thoughts on what I have been able to watch:

Oshi no Ko - The season 2 finale just aired and season 3 was announced. I am so, so pleased with this past season. I couldn't have asked for a better adaptation of the source.
Dan Da Dan - A hell of a premiere. There were some uncomfortable moments, some good humor, some hints of romance, a mountain of WTF, and lots of gorgeous animation. No idea what to expect with this show going forward.
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth - I really enjoyed the first two episodes of this show (a couple torture scenes notwithstanding). As somebody that has taught astronomy in the past, it's been fun. I have been using the show discussion threads to drop some science info if anybody is interested.
Loner Life Isekai - I very well might drop this. I enjoy the manga, but it is overall a pretty typical story that doesn't really do much to set itself apart. With limited time for me this season, this is probably going by the wayside.
Negative Positive Angler - A slice of life series about fishing...and terminal illness...and crippling debt. You know, comfy. I liked the premiere, so I am going to try to keep up with it to see where it goes.
365 Days to the Wedding - Really cute first episode. I am really hopeful that the romance delivers going forward now that the premise is established.
Villainess Who Goes Down in History - I enjoyed the first episode and hope that with a time skip coming, the age gaps present between potential love interests become less creepy. Just because courtly love in the past involved very young nobles, doesn't mean we need to carry that forward through our fiction.
Appraisal Isekai Season 2 - The first episode feels pretty much exactly like last season. I might try to keep up with this one as the adaptation has been decent.

About Appraisal Isekai Season 2, been following the manga, and we're about to enter the actual succession war, so here's where both most characters will shine, and where it will go most Suikoden with the recruiting people thing, high hopes here

I just watched episode 2 and the new OP teases characters that I didn't think they would get to in this season. So, I am hopeful that the pace picks up as hostilities get underway. One thing I think the show suffers from is that the pace can feel quite slow, but I am not sure if an anime-only would feel that way or if it is just me since I have previously read the manga.

Watched it too, don't feel it's going specially slow as the characters focus has been strong. Saw the peeps on the opening and i too hope they have time to showcase them.

Also i must say, the Ars and Licia couple is so goddamned adorable! Love seeing those two together! 😄
