Most Anticipated: First Episode / Premiere Reviews:
I love how instead of screenshots for the ANN reviews of The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today, they used... well, go see!
It feels weird saying this, but my most anticipated show this season has been Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon. Had heard awhile back that the light novels were surprisingly good for isekai, and tried the first volume of the manga adaptation recently, which was... surprisingly good for isekai.
Also! Ooku: The Inner Chambers is one of my favorite manga ever, and one of the best sci-fi manga ever, but I am not surprised to hear that the impressions so far are middling. As one of the ANN reviewers said, mangaka Fumi Yoshinaga's art is "famously difficult to animate", and on top of that, her writing is wordy. There's also the reputation Netflix series have to begin with. I really, really want to see the current live-action TV drama of the show to get subs, but the chances of that happening are somewhere between slim and none.

Agree with C^3 on this season being light, though I've been completely done with all isekai for a while and don't touch those so maybe there's something there for people who like that genre.
So far Undead Girl Murder Farce and My Happy Marriage are pretty good. I'll watch the new Horimiya since I liked the first one. I'd wager Zom 100 is going to be the breakout star of the season if any show is, though the manga pissed me off enough to not watch it. The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today manga was pretty good, so maybe worth checking out. Synduality: Noir seems like the kind of SF bullshit that usually appeals to me, though it'll probably be pretty mediocre.

Skip and Loafer is coming to streaming services in my region though, so a Spring show will probably be my main event for Summer 2023. Undead Murder Farce seems like a unique premise that I might give a few trial episodes.
