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

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth - Episode 3 completely blew me away. I don't want to give any spoilers, but this quickly rocketed up my favorites for the season after episode 3, which changed everything. I absolutely implore you to check out this series, and let it go through the third episode before judging it. This series really could have benefited from a long episode 1.
Dan Da Dan - After a completely bonkers episode 1, we get another bonkers episode 2. The most amazing thing about this anime is how seamlessly they integrate character moments into the insanity of what is happening on screen.
Loner Life Isekai - I didn't really remember the beginning of this story very well from when I read the manga. It's nothing special, but just kind of silly isekai fun.
Negative Positive Angler - A pretty good episode two. I am still sticking with this one, hoping that it is going somewhere meaningful.
365 Days to the Wedding - Really cute series that I have enjoyed so far. I hope that now that the premise is well established, that we can start actually seeing character development.
Villainess Who Goes Down in History - Yeah...this one is problematic...but it is also has lots of fun "villainess" moments. So, I have been torn on this one.
Appraisal Isekai Season 2 - Kind of forgot this section of the story a little bit. Hopefully they can keep the pace up as season 2 goes along.

Outside of the currently airing seasonals:

Trigun (1998) - Got up through episode 20. Once we made it past the halfway point, it feels like a whole different show. Suddenly there are things like flashbacks, character backstories, and drama. The whole first half of the show felt more like a goofy slice of life set in a sci-fi western. Not sure when I will get to finish the rest of the show, but looking forward to where we go from here.
