I figured I'll make this a seasonal thing here. This is something I've always liked doing- taking similar themes, scenes, unusual objects, etc and finding something that's unusually common in several of the first 1 or 2 episodes of a season.

Good examples would be the season of people playing Jenga or the season of an old man on a cliff divulging world history. Sometimes it's a season of a particular genre or an unusual number of shows end at 10 episodes or something. Trends can be reused in future seasons too. I'm sure there's several seasons that had an abundance of card-based stuff or albino characters, for example.

I've seen ep1 of almost everything this season. I think I can propose one now.

The season of dark skinned girls. And by this I mean girls with darker skin than the usual tanned girl. We have at least 2 (Captain Earth and Dragonar) with at least 2 more coming later, one arguable case in Nanana (spoiler[a trap]) and looking at the poster for it the Vanguard series seems to have one. We could stretch a bit further to get more but I only like to stretch it if there's a tie that needs broken.
