Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai - Otona e no Kaidan (Love Is War) - As of episode one, I don't know how I feel about this. It's slice of life with high school romance mixed with other shit. On the up side, they fuck in episode 2, but it isn't shown. Just talked about. I'm glad that the school president guy isn't a complete pussy. Then suddenly it's the adult life. He's working for a company and the two are still together. Oh, this is the final season of a show. I didn't even realize because I haven't seen the first seasons. But it was still decent enough.

3 isekais Xarp missed that are off to a nice start. All on CR.

A Gentle Noble's Vacation - Guy from fantasy world gets isekaid to another fantasy world.
An Adventurer's Daily Grind at Age 29 - Orphan boy turned pro adventurer adopts little girl he finds in the dungeon.
Easygoing Territory Defense - A manga I was reading a while ago, good first ep.

Yuusha Party - Ep 2 was good. Not sure how massive mammary oneesan can walk, but ok.
I said the first one.
Kizoku Tensei - Megumareta Umare kara Saikyou no Chikara wo Eru (Noble Reincarnation) - Reincarnated kid. Son of the emperor, but the 13th prince. He's also another water magician, the second I've encountered this season. He is gifted a cursed sword by his brother, but also manages to master said cursed sword. Now the emperor is interested in him. I'm liking this so far.

I guess I had the English title wrong. The other two shows you mentioned came out today, and I haven't seen them yet.

No, that's a different one. Gentle Noble isn't a rebirth isekai, and no op MC. Not yet anyways. Fancy fop gets transported to unknown world. Hires a guide/bodyguard. That's about it for first ep.

Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai (The Other World's Books Depend on an Accountant) - A different world summons their "holy maiden" from Earth, and some other dude gets summoned with her by accident. So now he's an isekaied accountant. Ok then. So he's trying to solve the financial problems with this new kingdom. It was interesting enough.

Fair warning for those that do not like gay shit: this is not just Isekai, it's hybrid BL + Isekai, kind of like Hikaru is hybrid BL + Horror and Sasaki & Miyano is hybrid BL + Iyashikei.

However, a lot of the underlying themes are a "take that" at corporate life, so don't feel like it won't ever be relatable. The accountant character is a self-described corpodrone who has literally no life outside of work, and because he immediately starts rooting out suspicious entries in the books, he is "promoted" into an assistant manager position for laughs (he hates working management).

Gentle Noble has some of that undertone as well. Sometimes Japan is just turbogay like that.

Is there a Sentenced to be a Hero this week? Or did the first count as 2?
It was delayed, nobody knows why, but behind schedule on art is usually the reason for these things. Hopefully there's not too many of the dreaded placeholders next episode.
