Aqua there casually recruiting so-called god as a child actor.

There is no prequel of this. Only the main character of this series plays a certain role in Tsukihime and some characters from The Garden Of Sinners are in this.

You and I are Polar Opposites opening is my favourite of this season. Amazing different visuals usage and animation done by the same person who also did How To Become Ordinary opening. The music is catchy and fits the happy high school setting.

I didn't quite like Frieren ending at first as it was too much jarring for me. But after reading it is all hand-drawn on paper with color pencils, can't help appreciate the effort put in. As previous season, Milet vocal really fits the tone of Frieren ending.

I have been using Karakeep after Pocket discontinue. I mainly use it in browser and there are extensions but I just use it with Single File extension as I already have installed.

First episode in and we are already getting confession and hand holding. Peak RomCom of this season. Visuals are pretty, music is good and main characters dynamic is nothing new of (you can guess by the title) but I like how this series handle it. Support characters are fun to watch too. Opening and ending is good, especially I love how the OP is animated.

Glad we are getting new Fate episode and not "one episode a year" meme.

Enjoyed Durarara style writing where a lot of things are happening at the same time. Fight animations are good and Servant-Master relations, especially Saber class, in this are fun to watch.

I found the title interesting, watched the episode blind thinking this will be some kind of fantasy and I was wrong. The story is josei drama and has slow and melancholic feeling to it. And I am loving it.

This has been in my list to read, but now I will just wait for KyoAni anime.

Looks like the World Eyes skill shows more than just Status menu. Judging from the scene, MC also saw, what I think, pieces of elf memory and that is why he cut the skill short. That may be also why they start calling each other their name as they've known each other.

What the hell is this skill world eyes?

Looks like a skill to see other people status info.

this elf knows he's name right off the bat

She also has World Eyes.

Muse Asia got me again with this one. Another otome anime where princess gets future sight and tries to avoid her ruin. Three episodes in and what I can say is I am loving the animation and chibi princess. I don't know about source material, judging from these three episodes, I think this season story will be between the princess and her father.

Muse Asia released all three episodes as a single special episode, so I am attaching a banner from second episode in this discussion.

Thanks for the correction about Fragrant Flower.

As for Takopi, I don't know, maybe anime has domestic violence overused and that made me think Takopi as 'another one'.

Not anime but two Chinese animation really stood out for me this season.

To Be Hero X got my attention with X introduction video and waiting for the full series. I like how they introduced heroes and the story itself. Really waiting for new season as this season is more of character introductions and lore.
Lord Of Mysteries found this series getting a lot of hype in AUM and got me to watch it. The mystery buildup, power system and world building in this series are really good and now I know why it was getting hyped. Definitely recommend to check out if you are interested in dark-fantasy setting mystery anime.

Betrothed To My Sister's Ex is definitely one of my favorite shows this season. Judging from name alone, pretty much can guess this is another otome anime, and yes it is. What this series stands out from other otome series is how the female MC overcomes her past and starts to fall in love with the duke. The story is not that amazing with somewhat interesting plot. There are a few shortcomings especially in support characters development. The animation is good and soundtracks are also amazing. Check this out if you are searching for Josei romance.
Dandadan season 2 is still chaos and fun to watch. We get Kinta and with him a new genre tag is getting added to Dandadan. Not too much tear-jacking scenes in this season maybe they are saving for season 3. That ending kiss though, I can't imagine how anime only are feeling right now.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity A popular shoujo anime I am waiting for. Kaoruko and the mellowly romance between Rintarou is really cute and the confession scene at the end is beautiful. Slice of life moments with their friends are nice and can see a new pair blooming.

My Dress Up Darling new season is entertaining and animation is really really good for this one. We get to see more cosplay but not much progress in romance department.
Dr.Stone continues and series name drops in final episodes. Has a weak start but the final three episodes are stars of the whole series.
Takopii is enjoyable 6 episode anime. Really like how they directed and animated the whole series.
Call Of The Night returns and we get to see more backstory and the vibe with the series is really something.
Panty And Stocking returns after 15 years and it is still chaos.
Grand Blue returns and it is still funny and enjoyable as season one.
City The Animation, from KyoAni, impressive animation and crazy moments but I didn't get all the jokes featured. Still enjoyed the show and my favorite opening this season.
Witch Watch really funny show and laughed to tear in some episodes.
Secrets Of The Silent Witch, solid fantasy series with interesting plot happening behind. Nothing much to say more about this except really like the fact Monica chose non-magical elective classes.
Clevatess has interesting world setting and definitely will be checking out new season.
There Is No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover See yuri, instant watch. This definitely is the spiciest yuri anime I have ever watched. And this is yuri harem. Definitely will be checking out upcoming 5 episodes.
Bad Girl Yuri bait comedy show. Enjoyed the show, nothing amazing.
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra different game genres in isekai world. Interesting concept, wish the production quality is a little higher than this.
Sword Of The Demon Hunter also one of the show I enjoyed even the show has a lot of production issues.

Gachiakuta has uncommon character designs and they look good. The story is somewhat interesting but not really hooked on this.
Kaijuu No.8 returns and finished the series. But also lost the hype around this.
Nukitashi The Animation is borderline hentai and it knows. There is story and they didn't shy away from their borderline hentai make the series somewhat good.
Turkey expected CGDCT show focusing on bowling. Instead got a time travel anime.
Private Tutor To Duke Daughter MuseAsia thumbnails got me to check this series out. Your average harem show.
A Couple Of Cuckoos, Togen Anki, Shield Hero nothing noteworthy happen in these.

The latter seasons are nowhere as enjoyable as season one. After season one revenge arc the story becomes uninteresting. The second season start is famous for its bad CGI tortoise and I can't even remember what happened in that arc. Season 3 and 4 introduce new characters, places and power systems and have potential to be good and interesting but plagued with boring character dialogues, unexplained power systems and new places don't get explored. The worst of all, Naofumi getting a big Harem and that gets in the story.

That said Season 3 is better than Season 4 and way better than 2 but not as interesting and good as Season 1.

You may be right. The post I provided has this description.

Really like the fact that, unlike most fantasy/magical themed anime, Monica chose completely not magic related classes for her elective.

Haven't seen K-On myself, a couple of slice-of-life anime that pops up in my head.
