you've probably already seen the above two or know how you feel about them if you're online and anywhere nerd-adjacent. but what about the other stuff?

AKIBA MAID WAR
What if maid cafes all fought with each other over territory and had to deal with their mob boss corporate overlords. Watch this if you like mafia films, Yakuza, maids, or committing to the bit all the way. Biggest surprise of the season so far!

GUNDAM: THE WITCH FROM MERCURY
Actually, I probably don't need to tell you to watch this: it's corporate fiefdoms fighting, Utena (yes, lesbians), and giant robots. It's been consistently good so far. And Chuchu is the best. Chuchu stans only.

BOCCHI THE ROCK!
You might think at first glance that this is just a "cute girls play in a band" anime, and it's not NOT that, BUT: the animation, storyboarding, and scripting is so snappy and delightful in this, it's hard not to love. And Bocchi is very relatable!
