Excellent top... Normally I make "Best Tops", or simple Tops of animes that I liked. I'm not one to talk about what I didn't like or what I simply discarded because I didn't like it. Among this list that you show, I knew all of them except the first one and I couldn't agree more with what you say about each work.
To start with, I watched the entire stepbrothers anime with the mere hope of finding something that caught my attention, apart from its good animation. But nothing, the plot gets pretty wrapped up in one cliché after another and the season ends with the absurd plot that all the sisters want something with the protagonist. You tell me what to call that. The creator definitely has a serious problem with making this work, as if what he did with Rent A Girlfriend wasn't enough. 🥴
With the case of the dark elf, it was enough to see its PV and its cover to realize that it would be that typical Ecchi anime of the season. The worst thing is that it wasn't the only one that aired that season. And finally, with the second season of Loser Ranger, the same thing happened to me as to you: pointless plot twists, a lot of unnecessary lore, and terrible animation. The latter was disappointing, quite a lot, and even more so since I even reviewed it in its first season.
Again, excellent top and post.
