Mid-Season Reactions:
Shabake: So far, it's so-so...
Tondemo Skill S2: Also so-so, but the food porn and Sui-chan are its redeeming qualities.
Ninja & Gokudou: Much ham and much action that makes staying up until WAYYYYY late at night worth it. I wish that this wasn't exclusive to Prime Video though...
Wandance: So far, it's interesting enough for me. I get some knowledge of dance, some dance numbers (even though I'm not so used to motion capture), and a story unfolding.
Kakuriyo S2: Another Raijuu-mandated conflict to test Aoi & Oodanna's relationship, as usual, but this time, one of the biggest mysteries so far, that of Oodanna's identity, is likely to get solved. So far, I think I'm starting to remember why I hated Raijuu...
Chichi wa Eiyuu, Haha wa Seirei, Musume no Watashi wa Tenseisha: So far, it's alright. Ellen kinda went a bit too far with scolding Aria, but with this kind of medieval setting, it's not unheard of, so I will defer my qualms. Meanwhile, Ravisel looks so comically evil that I would want further justification apart from heresay to root against him.
Tensei Akujo no Kurorekishi: Somehow, I'm having a blast watching this mainly because I ended up simping for Sol. And then, there's the character songs that started appearing since EP 2, my personal favorite so far, of course, would be Sol & Yomi's duet song on them duelling. If this is what having fanfiction come to life is about, then no matter what contrived shit will come, I'm still in (though a day later than everyone else).
WataTabe: The reveal of Miko's true identity kinda shocked me. Apart from that though, it's been rather so-so.
Towa no Yuugure: I like the animation here. Apart from that, perhaps also the adventure, but for a show that would explore love and all its forms, it seems to be missing something, but I can't seem to figure it out...
Akujiki Reijou: Bonding with food!! Surely nothing else can be this wholesome! (though I'm pretty sure Kakuriyo kinda did that already; still, me going kyun over all this cannot be stopped)
Futari Solo Camp: With Yui third-wheeling in the past few episodes, I am somehow a bit turned off, but if it was to spice things up, then it sure as hell did the trick...

Forgot to post my midseason upgrade. Overall the season is fine, but none of the shows really surprised me I would say (Sanda is crazier than I initially tought but it is not always easy to watch). In alphabetical order.

Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai is still nice. While it is not that origional, the plot keeps being interesting and does not get repetative, which is a good thing for slice-of-life type story.

Sanda is probably the most surprising show of the season and the one I am most waiting for the new episodes (though, I am not always in the mood to watch it immediatelly). And the setting and characters are getting crazier each time.

Shuumatsu Touring is overall better than synopais may make you believe. While fior the most part it is still sklice-of-life/tourist ad, it has a mystery anfd some dramatic moments in all kinds of it. Like it can be both emotional or chilling at times.

Spy x Family Season 3 is the same as the previous seasons. I am a manga reader, so nothing surprising for me, but this season is probably the most story-packed so far. We already got Twillight's flashback and Melinda's introduction and there will be two really nice story aracs ahead focused on Anya and Twillight and Yuri respctively.

Towa no Yuugure this one is a bit odd. Looks like the director (who is also the main scriptwriter) wanted to go a bit wild with both action brutality and romance aspects, but producers made him to tone down the things in later episodes. Which is a pity. But the show is still ebtertaining, so I am continue watching. Just not sure how they plan to wrap it up as the pacing is not fast enough to resolve all of the mysteries we still have.

Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray Part 2 is still a great sports show. Plus Tamanmo Cross being a more prominient character and addition of non-Japanese umas made the plot more interesting. Though, I often watch it later when I am in the mood, not the day it airs.

Wandance is good. If you can get past controversial dancing animation it is a great coming of age/romance/"sports" show. The charqacters are endearing and there is no exessive drama or cliche antagonists so far. Overall the vibes remind me a lot of Kono Oto Tomare (which I loved as a show).

Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi is also good. It is pretty slow and melancholic, so not for everyone. But it is intriguing and I really like the vioice-work and the directors work here.
