This season has been great so far...too much so. I have been pretty busy and can't keep up with everything, so dropping stuff hurts at this point:

Oshi no Ko - Absolutely outstanding episode this past week. I didn't think anything was going to top Frieren for me this season, but...idk...this might be it.
Frieren - As good as it ever was.
Polar Opposites - Such a great ensemble in this show. The main couple is great, sure...but the full cast is really what elevates this to the next tier up.
Demon King's Daughter - Another great installment of Sing-Along with Doux!
Midnight Heart - Yes, it feels a bit contrived. Yes, the animation quality is a bit lacking. However, this has managed to keep me engaged so far.
Chained Soldier - It's been fun. I am not the biggest fan of this Azuma arc we are in right now, but it's managed to keep me watching so far.
