The schedule: https://myanimelist.net/anime/season
Ultraman S2 might air this season, who knows? Would be nice. The season needs all the help it can get and there are no promising original shows I could spot.

Beastars Who knows how much S2 will adapt. The last one rushed it but also got through the least good part of the manga. Until the final and longest arc of the manga came and managed to derail all the momentum it had. The series even lacks any form of meaningful resolution. The material this season could do is the juiciest part of the manga but it is cushioned by 2 stale buns. I will likely stop with the anime after S2 if more is announced even if this season works out.

Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season is currently listed with 16 eps so there will clearly be a Part 2 down the line. MAPPA did a very good job this far so the studio change worked out. It looks closer to the manga, the one scene of violence so far was grizzlier than the neutered TV cuts by Wit and the limited (for now) CG is well done. And what an OP! No complaints so far but there will soon be blowback to the “new direction” and likely a loud one. 9/10

Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time will be something I can finally put behind me and Natsume Yuujinchou will get a movie but I long checked out. 2 forever delayed Sailor Moon Crystal films will come out and Gintama ends, again.
Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2205: Aratanaru Tabidachi should be more like it. It´s based on the 1979 TV film that can´t be adapted due to having a highly different continuity at this point. There will also be a new compilation film for both S1&2 at once but who cares.
More AoT and Star Blazers save this season but it is still a wasteland. Winter seasons tend to be stale, so whatever. The spring season will be better.

Edit: Did I end up in the right forum? Move me there if not mods. I also forgot that Vladlove is this season. Have to check it out now.
