Dr. Stone is my most anticipated. This is the arc where things get real. And of course, more awesome science.
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is also one I look forward to. If you haven't seen it before, but like "Bofuri: I Don't Want To Get Hurt So I'll Max Out My Defense," you will probably also like this show. Just some nice comfort viewing. Give Season 1 a try if that sounds nice.
Also should specify that the Konosuba isn't for season 3 of the anime. Well, not exactly at least. Its for the spinoff prequel "An Explosion On This Wonderful World." Don't hate me but uh... I'm not actually the biggest Megumin fan in the world. I'll try it out, but it may not be up my alley.

Comments:
- There's a new Pokemon anime coming out, but we don't have a name for it, so it's not on the list
- As far as I know, Kubo is the only winter series confirmed to be delayed all the way to spring
- The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure had previously been localized as Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World. It doesn't have a page here under any title, so I went with the one I felt most people are likely to end up seeing
- The Konosuba listing is actually for the Megumin spinoff, but we don't have a separate page for it. And the staff is identical to the main series, so it's more like a prequel anyway
- The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses is from Seo Kouji (Fuuka, Kimi no Iru Machi), but is significantly sillier than most of his other works
- The Dangers in My Heart is from the creator of Mitsudomoe
- Dead Mount Death Play is written by Narita. You know, the writer of Baccano and Durarara. This is my favourite of his works, but I'm not exactly his biggest fan, so I don't know how much that counts for
- A Galaxy Next Door shares it's mangaka with Sweetness & Lightning
- I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World is from the author of The Fruit of Evolution. It is less goofy
- My Home Hero is from the writer of I'm Standing on 1,000,000 Lives.
- Opus Colors is from the Starmyu staff
- Oshi no Ko is written by the creator of Kaguya-sama
- Raeliana is Korean in origin! Very rare. ...The anime is based on the Japanese localization that removes all the Korean names, though
- World Dai Star's story is done by Takahiro (Akame ga Kill, YuYuYu)
Things I'm interested in:
1. Ancient Magus bride (I haven't been up to date with the manga since the first season aired but I'll at least wait and see if they don't recycle animation for the op this season)
2. Danger's of my heart: unironically peak romance, the only criticisms I have is that if you don't realize he's a chunni Ichikawa comes off as a psycho the first few chapters and the artist is very very fond of sexualising Yamada in extra content (though if the anime only covers the main story there'll be thankfully little of that)
3. Kimetsu: I intend to watch the anime till the end no matter what
4.Jigokuraku: I read the first chapter when it was brand new years back so I might watch this.
5. Insomniacs After School: I remember this being cute.
6. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury: how will Guel suffer this cour!
7. Sacrificial Princess & the King of Beasts: the colouring looks a bit drab from the P Vs but I loved the manga so I'll give the anime a chance.
8. Skip and Loafer: 100000000/10, I recommend this very very very highly it's an actual treasure!
9. Tokyo Mew Mew New: I haven't fucking finished the first cour AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
10. Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion: never read the manhwa but I am curious at least.
I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boysMy only definite picks are:
- Birdie Wing as I liked the first half.
- Oshi no Ko because I really like the manga.
The things I want to check out are:
- Dead Mount Death Play because I like Naritas works.
- A Galaxy Next Door because it looks like an interesting romance series and I liked authors previous adaptation.
- Insomniacs After School because it just looks like my type of story.
- The Marginal Service because Cygames originals are always interesting (unless this one will pander female audience to much for my taste).
Things I want to check out but is hesitant are:
- The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses because Seo. I actually liked Suzuka back when but not a fan of him in general. And he only writes this manga because editors wanted something to replace Quintuplets which is both good and bad. Good because I personally liked Quintuplets and because Seo toned down his usual drama tendencies here. Bad becuse works written with this motivation normlly fall flat for audience with less generic taste.
- The Dangers in My Heart because once again, the author has specific style (and taste of humor), so it's hard to say if it will be for my taste.
- Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku because it looks interesting but I'm generally not a fan of this type of shonens. Anytime I tried to watch something like this I dropped it midway.
- Mahou Shoujo Magical Destroyers because I fear it will go the same route as Garanfoll (and a fes other series) before. When you are making over the top series about otakus fighting invaders killing their hobbies, do it as over the top comedy, don't try to jump between one and serious social drama. I fear, this series will do the same.
- My Home Hero because it looks interesting but the previous authors work fall flat story-wise despite also having potential.
- Saint Cecilia And Pastor Lawrence because I got a bit tired of this type of romcoms.
- Skip and Loafer because I am not sure what to expect. The manga is marketed as seinen but the promos have to many shojo elemnts for my taste.
- World Dai Star because while I like Takahiro woprks more often when not, this one looks like another idol show despite being about theater actors. I just watched to much of them in the past and got fed up.
- Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion because the premise looks interesting but I fear it will come out as the recent I'm Villaness so I am Taming the Final Boss being to much oriented on the female audience. Just to be clear, nothing bad with this. It is just that while I like a bunch of josei works, the works oriented for younger females just not my cup of tea. From everything I watched i this spectre I only liked 2 works maybe.
- Yuri is My Job! because while I am GL fan, this work seems to fall in the genral ovedramatic yuri written specifically for male audience. Like Citrus or Netsuzo Trap. I prefer something less exaggerrated notmally without to much drama for the sake of drama. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Things I want to check but need to catch up are:
- The Ancient Magus' Bride S2 because while I liked the first season, I put it on hold around 12th episode. I just had to much to watch that season and no mood for this tyope of series. I still want to finish it and recent OV As but I am not sure when I have time for it.
- Kono Suba Megumin spin-off because while I really liked the series, I oly watched the first season so far. Just could not managed to continue it yet.

It's a slice of life coming of age story. And what does "too many shoujo elements" mean exactly? A cute girl? A handsome boy? A highschool setting?

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boysCongrats, that's not what Skip to loafer is about. I'm not going to comment on how you regard shoujo as that's ultimately a difference in taste but I'll say once again that skip to loafer is a coming of age slice of life. Kimi no Todoke is an apt enough comparison but it's not for whatever reason you seem to be thinking, it's because just like it it has a very strong focus on developing friend groups between the characters.

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boysAs I said above, shojo is not my cup of tea. I watch it from time to time but rarelly I like the tropes. The only one I really liked was "Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii". I dropped "Kimi ni Todoke" after I got tired of stupid plot twist (the last straw was when main guy saw the heroine with her male friend and tought they were a couple). I relly like josei, though.
But it is an offtopic. If this series is as you describe it, I will give it a try.
I'll 100% be watching:
- Birdie Wing S2
- Oshi no Ko
- Witch from Mercury S2 unless it gets delayed
Maybe
- Konosuba - depending on the reception
- Ancient Magus bride - I need to get back into the manga. I'm pretty sure I watched the first two episodes, then read the manga but never got back into the anime or kept going with the manga
- Yuri is my Job - depending on the reception
Eventually
- Demon Slayer - I still haven't watched S2 or read the last 15~ manga chapters.
Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion: I already read the webtoon and quite like it. Still I have to admit the middle of the story could be a drag and the mystery elements weren't very mysterious to be honest. If you just read it as a romance then it's a fine romance story.

E.T technically is a Isekai movieAnswering the question, "You ever feel like too much anime is being made?" (even though this is likely rhetorical), I would say Winter 2023 is so far my busiest season with around 30 anime at its peak. I doubt this season will be as busy, which in hindsight is great news for a person who has to make sure not to miss broadcasts on TV.

Heavenly Delusion/Tengoku-Daimakyou
. Another case of Disney picking up a prestigious title despite very un-Disney-like content. Lotta focus on sexual violence in this one

Even larger than usual because of all the delays
You ever feel like too much anime is being made?
