Only watched a bit lately. Just keeping up with 3 so far:

Dandadan - Holy crap this is a ride. Like others said elsewhere, the first episode threw some major flags for me, but apparently that kind of thing is extremely rare, so I’m strapped in for the rest. Also that OP is #1 for the year imo.
Re:Zero S3 - That first 90 minute episode should have been more exciting, but I spent most of it trying to remember who everybody was or why I care about all these meetings and that somebody is being rude to somebody. The last 15 mins and the second episode finally got me hooked again.
Ranma 1/2 - Heavy nostalgia for me. I’m not convinced this is better than the OG anime so far. I really love the old style (even after watching several comparisons) and miss the old OP. I’ll probably finish it just for curiosity if nothing else.

Good that I'm not the only one who struggles with this in every new season of Re:Zero. The end also did it for me though, now I'm excited again.

Yeah, I was afraid of this happening to me too, so I rewatched season 2 before, which really helped.

The Dan Da Dan OP is really something. Each season, I have an OP/ED thread where I listen to all of them for the season, but I have a hard time believing that I am going to be surprised by something to surpass Otonoke. Creepy Nuts always hits it seems.
