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.
I did enjoy Kaiju No 8, but not because of the older protagonist. I just don't enjoy the super child-like characters, is all. Well, at least in the action sense. As part of a family (Spy x Family, for example), anime children can be adorable. But as action MCs I just find it off-putting.

That's fair, I wonder if you enjoyed Kaiju No 8 for the older protagonist?
