A lot of blood soaked shonen is coming in hot this season, so here's a few highlights.
CHAINSAW MAN
Denji has a simple dream—to live a happy and peaceful life, spending time with a girl he likes. This is a far cry from reality, however, as Denji is forced by the yakuza into killing devils in order to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he is ready to do anything for a bit of cash.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a 10-episode story about a street kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an edgerunner—a mercenary outlaw also known as a cyberpunk.
UZUMAKI
(Spiral)

On the coast of Japan exists a small, cloudy town called Kurouzu-cho that is cursed. The boyfriend of Kirie Goshima, Shuichi Saito, says their town is being haunted by something other than a person or being. Instead, they are being haunted by a pattern: the spiral, UZUMAKI, a mesmerizing secret shape of the world.

Mob Psycho 100 III

Shigeo is an awkward but kind boy whose urge to help others and get along with them is bound up with the mental safety locks he's placed on his own emotions.

Unfortunately for him and the entire planet, he wins.

The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These - Season 4
(remake)

For over a century and a half, two interstellar states have wrested for control of the Milky Way. The Galactic Empire, an absolute monarchy ruled by Kaiser Friedrich IV and an entrenched nobility, seeks to suppress the rebels daring to oppose the inviolable crown. The Free Planets Alliance, a representative democracy led by a corrupt High Council, degenerates as its elected leaders use war and conflict as a way to win popular support.
But this long-standing stalemate between the Empire and the Alliance ends with the rise of two opposing military geniuses. Reinhard von Lohengramm, a minor noble and High Admiral of the Empire through his strategic brilliance and his sister's position as the favored concubine of the Kaiser, dreams of conquering the galaxy and uniting mankind under his iron fist. Meanwhile, Yang Wen-li of the Alliance, an avid historian and reluctant commodore hailed as the Hero of El Facil, uses his tactical prowess to navigate around his leaders' incompetence—and to carve the path to lasting peace. As the war rages on, Reinhard and Yang each strive for their ideals and to secure their place among the stars as the leaders of a new era of galactic heroes.

And several of [overly long isekai title] too, probably.

Ah, nice, I didn't see that.
Also added Cyberpunk and Uzumaki, which might be coming out next month!
so Muv-Luv was a basic-ass (probably pornographic? not sure) early 00s visual novel that had one big gimmick: after you finished the story, you unlock a second route, where the main character from the first route wakes up in an alternate universe with alternate versions of all the characters from the first route, where the earth has been invaded by aliens and are fought with giant robots, shifting the tone of the story dramatically from a vanilla rom-com VN to a dramatic sci-fi war story.
The theme of tonight seemed to be rich girls who are so bored they decide to commit crimes.
Congrats to Reigen

good for her!
Reincarnated as a minor NPC but is unknowingly the demon lord.
Reincarnated as a god sword used by a slave cat girl.
Reincarnated into a dating sim as the villainess and have to seduce the last boss.
Grinded farming until all stats were maxed, is now a demigod.
Beast tamer is kicked out of the party and then tames beast girls demigods.
Something titled "Guild of Depravity" about animal girls being serially molested that I may have overlooked when deciding what appeared to be the worst.
Totally copyright friendly Atelier Rorona.
Literally Legend of Mana.
I think that's all the flat out "in an RPG world" shows for next season. Only three involving reincarnation! That's less than usual!
this is approximately 8 too many
Guy is summoned to another world with several other people who all have amazing combat classes and powers but he has nothing, so he gets some money from the king as consolation and leaves as the others get called heroes. Only the guy does have a power: he can access Totally Not Amazon online shopping. Amazing. He still didn't reveal this to the king because he got bad vibes from the guy's speech about fighting invaders and decided to beat feet out of the country.
And that's it. That's the extent of his power. When he gets "stronger" he unlocks more shops and the most dangerous he gets would be killing someone's diet with a specialty cake.
Anyway, Iruma-kun's back this season; low effort fun. Not surprised to see that BHA has been missed, since it seems like opinion of it has been steadily trending downwards.
They changed the order of some arcs, mostly because of the movie they did at the same time and it just ended up really weird/hurt the pacing

Just sort of lost interest as it kept going into the final arc here
It's definitely hit the shonen messy end point, and resultingly losing the thematic and more slice of life content that I think made MHA tick so well. Arguably also it's pacing is just too fast, the class isn't even second years? I've lost track
Tokyo Demon Bride is incredibly generic, and while I like what Ginka and Gluna is doing that first chapter was all over the place

This seems to have been the intent of Goblin Slayer, but it was written extremely incompetently so that the Goblins were an extremely powerful, growing threat right from the beginning. The idea of "the underappreciated warrior who takes on the supposedly weak prey (that hurts the weak)," goes out the window when everyone in the setting seems to have been personally savaged by the Goblins, they're taking over entire cities, killing leadership and heroic figures, etc. (And this complaint is besides the author's uh... gross fetish preferences).

All spoilers here are just official promos.
The promos for the sword reincarnation thing don't look half bad either.
The Depravity Guild promo has at least one shot that would get you banned here. When I looked at the wikipedia page, I got to I think the third paragraph before it was talking about how monsters need to molest girls for mana, and then the next paragraph was entirely about its censorship. So... yeah.
Not Atelier Rorona is just literally an Atelier game that's not Atelier. It just looks... like generic Atelier.
I assume that the high profile stuff (Spy Family, Mob, Chainsaw Man, Gundam) will suck up most of the air regardless. Megaton Musashi's second season is definitely going to be the most batshit insane show if it's anything like the first season, though that's not an endorsement of it. There's also a couple really bizarre looking originals. Akiba Maid War is some PA Works thing about animal-themed maids uh... doing something, with the protagonists representing the pig-maid faction, but at least one of them has a gun.
And then there's Shinobi Moment, apparently about a dude who is told he's the secret ninja heir and has to go to ninja high school. One promo is all about how this is totally a fanservice harem gag comedy. The other is about how it's low budget Metal Gear Solid Revengeance with cyber ninjas and no levity whatsoever.
