Summary: As far as adventuring goes, supporting your party is a thankless job—even more so if you're just a lowly red mage like Yuke Feldio. So, when he gets fed up with his A-rank party of total a-holes, he ditches them for some former students—a trio of girls who just looove his company. Thing is, to conquer the world's greatest dungeon and achieve his dream, he'll have to teach these cuties a thing or two...and he may just learn there's more potential within him (and them) then he ever knew.
My First Impressions: This one is okay. Nothing particularly interesting though after the first 2-3 episodes. It could get more interesting or just be boring.

Summary: After being struck by a car, 52-year-old civil servant Tondabayashi Kenzaburou finds himself reincarnated as the villainess of his daughter's favorite video game! Committed to his role as the haughty and arrogant Grace Auvergne, Kenzaburou plays out Grace's part in the game's story... Except his kind nature and elegant Japanese manners accidentally turn the unlikeable Grace into the most admired girl in school instead.
My First Impressions: Fairly otome game anime. The old man's interjections can be amusing. I appreciate that the opening suggests the girl ends up falling for the main character. It's amusing enough anyway to keep watching.

Summary: Ten'ikai General Hospital's Supervisory Department of Diagnostic Pathology handles cases other physicians deem too difficult to treat. It's also where bizarre mysteries surface, from unexplained illnesses to strange murders even the police can't solve. At the center of it all is Ameku Takao, a brilliant doctor determined to reveal the shocking truth behind these anomalies.
My First Impressions: This one seems kind of interesting, but I'd actually prefer it if the main character stuck with medical stuff rather than getting involved with police cases all the time.

My First Impressions: This one is kind of typical OP main character. It's okay, but not something I'd really recommend either.

My First Impressions: The setup is so unnecessary, and the pacing is so slow. I got incredibly bored that I didn't even finish the first episode. <not watching unless recommended>

My First Impressions: This was is your typical adventurer kind of anime after 3-4 episodes. While it has potential, the characters are very boring, and the pacing isn't great. <not continuing unless recommended>

This cheat skill he unexpectedly acquired turns him into a wealthy merchant and makes him undefeatable in battles!
My First Impressions: Another typical OP main character anime. It's enjoyable enough after 3-4 episodes, though not something I'd recommend necessarily. Easy to get it mixed up with the other similar anime this season.

My First Impressions: It was hard to tell where the show would go after only 1 episode, but after episode 2, I can't say this seems interesting. The characters seem stereotypical, and the main characters are so air-headed. <not watching unless recommended>

After receiving conflicting messages from their father, Sion and Marie set out on an adventure to uncover the magic.
My First Impressions: This one got boring fairly quickly. The characters weren't super interesting, and the art/animation has moments which seems oddly poor compared to the rest of the time. <not continuing unless recommended>

Summary: After dying in battle against the forces of evil, a knight is reborn as a behemoth—one of the most powerful monsters in the world!

Just when he thinks his situation couldn't be more confusing, a beautiful elven adventurer rescues him from the brink of death and adopts him as her pet. This "cat's" baffling journey is just getting started.
My First Impressions: This is a bit like an OP main character anime. And while it has more fanservice than necessary, it's not in-your-face all-the-time kind of fanservice, so it's fine. The premise is certainly made better by the main character being a cute cat.
