Tyrel said: Yep drops and score will make it useless but I don't need it that long lolAlexTheRiot said: It's also piling up more drops than the rest. It'll get more points at the start but fall off heavy the coming weeks.Just a reminder that Ace Attorney is currently 2,000 watchers ahead of Jojo which started a full day before it, and has 40 more thread posts than Mayoiga which had an 18 hour head start. |

AlexTheRiot said: Objection!!! Neither one who have Ace Attorney or Mayoiga will be save(at least I hope so). Though I'm also worried about Netoge.Alas, I happen to have a damn good attorney, he'll save me from my fate. You only have a highschooler afraid of reptiles. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| For the first time I picked a team based on gut feeling and a quick browse of each anime's MAL page, since I only had 18 hours (i forgot to check the FAL club at the end of March). Got a unique team at least! I did pretty badly last season, so I'll be happy if I end up in the Top 30 again. |
| So in my active team I have two mainstream choices and three that get the double point bonus. Interesting. Let's see how far my "anime originals only" -team will take me. |

| Huh? I have a unique team? Is it finally my turn to shine?! Nope, I guess not xD |
 |
| I think I should have paid more attention to my active/bench distribution, but oh well. I'll just change it next week (hope it doesn't affect much). |
| Not sure whether I should take it as a good or a bad sign that no one else has the same team as me haha Feeling good about this season though. Third year participating in FAL and counting :) |

Sapewloth said: @triplesrank ofc that's why, but i don't think not benching jojo is nearly as big a "blunder" as the one you did by not choosing Mayoiga x) plus, i'm still betting on fail-ix wright bombing hard enough to make my choice worth it @fst yeah, i knew he was talking about jowjow doesn't change the fact that we're gonna own him, tho I already regret picking Mayoiga, haven't heard a single good thing about the show from a bunch of different people who watched it so far :/. It'll probably bomb and start scoring low around the middle of the season. Ace Attorney also looks like a dud in the long run. I should have gone for the shitty Netoge anime or SnO. Also I expect some of the double point shows to become annoyingly competitive because of the bonus. Not a great start for me overall. Well, maybe my speculations will be wrong and my team will end up being great. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Well, Re:Zero is doing a lot better than I thought. Kinda makes me think to myself "I'm screwed," but let's see what happens with that show. |
| I'm just confused by the whole concept of scoring by "Writing and characters." If you're not entertained, why should you care? |

Well, maybe my speculations will be wrong and my team will end up being great. I think Mayoiga will do fine, so long as it gets to some violent, deathy parts within 3 episodes or so. If viewers stuck with glacial-paced Another (same director), I'm convinced they'll stick with Mayoiga too. Critical acclaim does not always translate to high watch numbers (P.S. Concrete Revolutio, you are DEAD to me after that pathetic showing in Fall 2015 FAL!). Ace Attorney had potential, even though the production values looked AWFUL. The major problem there is that it turned out to be essentially a crappy, abridged "Let's Play" Youtube video. Danganronpa had the same problem, even with looking and sounding MILES better. It will net you decent Watching points for the first few weeks... just make sure you swap it out by week 4 (negative points for dropped series). |

| Question, when do I have to pick an ace by? Cause I would like to wait until all my anime have start to air before I pick one. Also, Re:Zero is a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. I'm glad I decided to keep it and didn't choose Sousei no Omnyouji over it. |

Aces are always due at the END of the week being scored. So yes, you'll be able to wait until most/all of your series have aired. Pkfire0 said: Also, Re:Zero is a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. I'm glad I decided to keep it and didn't choose Sousei no Omnyouji over it. Self-aware, haremy light novel adaptation + time looping = MAL catnip. I'm glad I ended up choosing it as well. Although I'm not personally enjoying it all that much. I'm old and prefer pretentious character-study drivel like Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. |
|
| I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU MAYOIGA Just kill off half of the cast and MAL will love you ! |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Yeah, I'm not worried about Mayoiga. If the cast starts dropping, the discussion points will rise. Watching numbers should be fine too. No way it manages a good score, but it should still be in the best 7 by season's end. I'm worried about not taking Re:Zero and choosing Sousei no Onmyouji instead. I anticipate Ace Attorney dropping off and needing to be swapped out. Jojo will be fine in early score weeks, but it is a specialist and can't stay in long. I need Sousei to get a good start so I have a safer swap-in once Ace Attorney falls off. |

| I HAZ UNIQUE TEAM! TIME TO GUN FOR MOST UNIQUE TEAM EVER! As usual, I'll come back here on the final week only to see how I fare passively. Time to MIA. |

| First time participating in this kind of event :-) I picked anime only from those I'm going to watch, so I do not have high hopes for winning this. I will be pleasantly surprised if I end up in the top 100 :-) |
 |
| While I'm feeling confident with two of the anime from my bench lineup (which I could use to swap later), I'm not satisfied with two from my active team. Besides, I'm not even watching two of them. I'm liking the anime adaptation of Sousei no Onmyouji as well as the anime for Netoge, but I surely regret not picking up those two... :x Let's see how this goes once the results for Week 1 have been tallied up. My lineup for this season was a sloppy decision which is the result of me coming unprepared for this FAL. Didn't get to spend enough time gathering data for the Spring anime as I've been preoccupied with a variety of things this past month. |
r0ykun said: It will be unlocked on week 2.I don't feel the need to change my team right now, but since the bench swap thread is locked how do we swap now? |
 |
| Couldn't have been happier with my current team. I am just a tad a bit iffy about Mayoiga though. Hopefully things pick up quickly otherwise we could be seeing a potential flop. I'm not too worried about it though the only thing I'm worried about is picking my ace correctly. |
Happy Halloween  |
superanimefan98 said: Because the manga, which the anime is based on, is a great success and it was once featured in Weekly Shonen Jump. That second thing may not have been necessarily true, but the manga is a great success in Japan and all around the world. If you want, look at manga sites and read their top charts. Sousei no Onmyoji is bound to be in the top 200 What's popular in Japan does not always translate to popular in the US (look at freaking Gundam and idol shows for example). Sousei no Onmyoji had some buzz, but it also had a very strong 1st episode. I choose it as a more speculative pick (also because it aired fairly early and had been licensed early) and was pleasantly surprised. But it easily could have gone the way of World Trigger if the premiere had been lackluster (*cough* Ace Attorney *cough*). |

juchiu11 said: Why did i put JoJo on bench...WHY!! Because that's actually a wise choice. It will only give you decent points when the score will be counted. I kinda derped and put it on my active team instead of Re: ..... |

| I'm beginning to wonder if Sakamoto is going to experience the same thing as jojo where it excels in ratings but goes a bit lackluster in popularity. It's obviously going to gain some good popularity over this week but I somehow don't see it becoming as popular as the other shows are so quickly becoming. It's a shame to see Ace Attorney plummit in ratings so much. That's going to affect it big time in the long run. |

I disagree with Sakamoto not appealing to a lot of people. Its a new work, so its doesn't suffer from sequel syndrome. Second, its absurdity may be enough to carry it. Look at One Punch Man. Something radically different, yet did well if used for FAL |

| I'm glad that I got a unique team and I'm pretty happy with it. I just hope that Ace Attorney gets some more recognition and gets higher ratings before we get points based off of score. |

Pkfire0 said: I'm glad that I got a unique team and I'm pretty happy with it. I just hope that Ace Attorney gets some more recognition and gets higher ratings before we get points based off of score. I only see it falling further tbh. Nobody likes it. I'd definitely replace it with Onmyouji or maybe even Netoge if I could do a do-over for my team. The verdict on Kiznaiver being actually a worthwile addition to my team is also still out but aside from that I'm somewhat satisfied so far. Re:Zero is carrying much harder than I expected so I'm glad I decided to go for it since it seems locked in to be at least on of the top 3 scorers this season, possibly #1. So aside from potential unexpected double point shows I'm only worried about Netoge and Onmyouji outperforming my team right now. Looking at the rating for Netoge I shouldn't have underestimated the power of MAL virgins. I hope it doesn't catch up in terms of popularity at least. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I don't even know why the hell i didnt put Big Order in the Bench instead of putting it in my active team. What have i done. My first time isnt doing good so far. >_> |

| I fucked up guys. I should've benched Endride for Seisen Cerberus instead of benching Phoenix Wright. Now I'll get absolute shit for Endride's forum post score, whereas I would've gotten a fuck ton of points for Phoenix Wright's forum post score. I don't think I'll be able to recover from this. |

Quoted from first page of bench swp "You can't swap two anime at the same time. If you make two posts in one week in the swaps thread, only the first post with a valid swap will be counted and the second one will be invalid. If you change your mind you can edit your post until the deadline." "Request to swap one of your active anime with your bench anime here. Your swap will take effect the next time the points for FAL are counted. The week ends every Sunday at 18:00 UTC." When did u swap? This is the first week right? This is the 2nd week, so bench swaps are active. Also, does anyone know the deadline for bench swaps? Cause if I could edit my swap that could save me some major points |

| So Sakamoto and Re: Zero are not able to become aces anymore, so there goes my plan... Time to calculate roughly how many points each of my anime are going to get |

| Who do I talk to revoke my ace? DX |
