Sentenced to Be a Hero: initially I thought "meh, yet another series where they fight the Maō", but right in the first episode there was a "hero" stealing stuff, then I was like "well, this is going to be fun". And as the series progressed I started genuinely enjoying its cynical and bitter tone.
Mayonaka Punch: I didn't bother with the series at the start of the season, because you can be pretty sure "arsehole influencer doing dumb shit" is not my cup of tea. But mid-season I got bored, gave it a try because I thought the vampire looked fun (and quickly noticed she was voiced by my favourite voice actress, Fairouz Ai), and really enjoyed it, because the interactions between characters were fun.
We went through a brief anime vampire phase, with Call of the Night, The Vampire Dies In No Time, Mayonaka Punch, a couple others.
I thought Mayonaka Punch was going to be a lightweight puff piece compared to Call of the Night but it really held its own and impressed me.
