Trash is always a subset of anime. Sometimes there's more of it, sometimes there's less. I don't think just because there's a fair bit of trash fantasy/isekai this season means it's all going downhill or that we're all doomed.
If anything, it might just mean there's less focus on isekai, which could even be a good thing. This is just a few studios churning out trash in a genre that was oversaturated. It's just like in video games; there have been times were FPS's, for example, were super popular, and got churned out all the time, then the good ones gave up on it, and we were left with trash.
Also, just out of curiosity, what animes you are objecting to?
"I Parry Everything" is the latest in the line of manga/anime with a retarded premise that pretends it makes the OC an underdog, like "In this world where a man's value is based on how fast he can make a girl cum, all I have is this lousy ability to find the G spot without fail!" that's insulting to the audience's intelligence.
Most isekai/RPGlite, are written so stupidly it's like they never even played a videogame they claim to be based off of. Shield Hero, Redo of Healer, Bofuri, etc.
Yeah whodathunk that parrying, one of the fundamentals of swordsmanship, could be useful!
The genre has been scraping the bottom of the barrel for awhile now. It speaks volumes that isekai/regression/cultivation have only managed to produce a handful of actually good series (and not the equivalent of "it tastes good if you close your eyes and eat around the nasty bits) in the last 15 freaking years.
If the genre is heavily saturated, then we should have seen a plethora of high quality entries among all the junk due to sheer volume, but instead it's been a swamp of derivative, unimaginative garbo.
I Parry Everything and Hazurewaku instantly made me cringe...
Ahhhh fuck. Those just came out today, it looks like? Now I'll have to watch them and decide for myself.
I hope there's a shift away from isekai for sure, they've milked that style of anime until dust is coming out.
I hope they keep some but, yeah, it's certainly been overused.
I haven't seen the ones you're talking about yet, but I think last season may have been worse. New Gate was slightly entertaining trash; Chillin' in Another World was cute and enjoyable, but still kind of trash; Reincarnated Aristocrat was fairly trash; Re:Monster was decent funny trash; and then Banished Former Hero and Reincarnated as the 7th Prince were both just utter trash.
Fact is though, isekai will always have some percentage of utter trash. Some seasons it's almost one hundred percent, others it's pretty low. It's hard to read trends, since it can quite quickly change pretty dramatically. This or next season could be the best isekais ever, for all we know.
I'd advise you to read the Manga for the Aristocrat one, don't know if they're doing another season for the anime but in the Manga they have a whole war arc and even bring in advanced tactics of using flying magical drones for the targeting trajectory for magical artillery.

Honestly, in the case of that one, it's mostly personal bias; I don't like the super young MC thing. It's just kind of weird, and it doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's hard to get into. Really not my thing.
Huh I was going to try I parry everything but that looks like I missed a bullet, I'll only check it out if I get 3 recommendations from some content creators I watch
So far I've just watched shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan partly because they seem to be using CGI as a meme and mostly so I can FINALLY get past this meme lol
