I'm going to make a dedicated effort to keep up with things this season, and I started by watching quite a few first episodes. I'll talk about them in the order I liked them from best to worst.

The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch: a young-looking witch who is actually 200 years old finds and raises an abandoned human baby who grows up to look like a sexy lady by age 16. So, a loli mother and MILF daughter. The first episode of this show was incredibly stupid... and I loved it. I'm a big fan of stupid humor. When a summoned phoenix started competing with a literal houseplant for the title of "best familiar", it was perfection. I like the dynamic between the mother and the daughter too. They're both really devoted to each other (usually in a sweet way, sometimes in a kinda obsessive way, but it was always funny so it's fine)

Stardust Telepath: an incredibly shy girl who wants to meet an alien meets a classmate who is an alien. Looks like this will be the cute girls comedy of the season, and I am here for it. Shy girl is shy, alien girl is energetically weird, and both of them are cute. What's not to love?

Tearmoon Empire: a bloody revolution led a princess to the guillotine, but then she was sent back in time to her younger self for a second chance. I always like this kind of "change the bad future" story. And, if the OP is anything to go by, this show won't take itself too seriously despite the downer beginning. Can the princess resist her bratty nature and save the empire (and her head)??? I'm excited to find out.

Shy: a Japanese superhero whose power is... crippling shyness. Well, at least you're not the stereotypically drunk Russian superhero. The main girl's shyness was keeping her from saving people, but she kind of got over that already so I don't know where the story goes from here. Still, the first episode did a good job setting her up as a character.

I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness: I'm glad this show is about being, like, the bad kind of naughty and not the sexy kind of naughty (at least not yet). A demon wizard rescued a girl who'd been accused of a crime she didn't commit. She's actually a perfect saint, so the demon wizard wants to corrupt her by doing such naughty things as... gasp, eating cake for dinner! This show definitely won't be amazing or deep, but it's kind of cute so far.

The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess: This was easily the show I liked the least. A powerless vampire is forced to pretend to be a powerful general, otherwise her subordinates will kill her and take over. It's an okay premise I guess, I just don't think it'll be enough to carry the show for a whole season. I'm also not a huge fan of the creepy maid. Still, I didn't hate it. Maybe this show will surprise me.

The other shows I plan to watch will be I'm in Love with the Villainess, The Apothecary Diaries, and Frieren. I was going to watch Undead Unluck too but I don't think it's available in Canada yet. Not sure yet what I'll pick for my tenth show us UU isn't an option.
