Gnosia, Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider, and Sanda are my unexpected choices for the season.
More new anime thoughts: First and Second Impressions edition
Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I'm a too-long title (aka Chichi wa Eiyuu, Haha wa Seirei, Musume no Watashi wa Tenseisha.; aka Reincarnated as the Daughter of the Legendary Hero and the Queen of Spirits ): Well, Ellen is cute enough, but the first episode doesn't have much of a hook. But I don't have much on my list this season so I guess this can stick around a while.
This Monster Wants to Eat Me: (PHRASING!) With how badly MC-chan wants to die I just can't help but think of the content warnings slapped on Call of the Night while this has none. Anyway: poor Miko-chan. Clearly the only solution here is a yuri polycule.
Towa no Yuugure: If I were to give this a light novel title, I'd call it "Frozen for 200 years, now I wander the post-apocalypse with a robot who looks like my past fiancee and wants to jump my bones". We learn a bit more about the world, and get introduced to the legalized and somewhat-regulated industry of slavery. MC-kun wants to "find out about" his finacee. Bro, it's been 200 years, you hoping she was or is a popsicle too? Oh, and there's more robots which look like her, only they're not so nice and don't want to jump his bones...as far as we know. It'd be wild if this turned into a robot harem I guess.
May I ask for one final thing?: Scarlet ALMOST goes a whole episode without punching a dude. Almost. And, things look to be ready to escalate fairly quickly. Nice.
Gnosia: Among Us, the Anime! So, one of five crewmembers is secretly a killer, and their options are self-destruct the ship or vote people off Survivor-style, putting the voted-off person into cold sleep. The ship's computer can detect the impostor Gnosia's presence but not which one it is. They can't just put everyone into cold sleep at once (reasons) and they can't put them to sleep one by one (the Gnosia would attack if it's alone with one other human). I think a decent show could be made out of the basic premise, in fact I'm sure that good shows HAVE been made on this premise, but I think this is not going to be one of them. I have zero confidence in the writing already. But, I have little else on my list this season, so I'll give it the usual three episodes I guess.
A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace: You could call this one "Bocchi the Mangaka". Bocchi--er, Futami, is a ball of anxiety given to delusions about her editor. Hilarity ensues.
