Big thanks to Boursk and kuroshiroi for helping out this week (and all the other weeks), all the active staff that couldn't be here this week, and of course a big thanks to all you guys who have been participating (again) this season!

Sorry for the delay with the results! We were hoping the PM system would be back up, but we decided to go ahead with the results anyway.

Points Criteria
Every week:

• +1 point for each user who has anime under "Currently Watching" or "Completed" that week on MAL
  
• Double the anime's "Currently Watching" points for the week if 4 or less players have it on their active team
  
• +25 points for each forum post in the anime's episode discussion threads in the previous two weeks (counted every two weeks)

Scored Only Once:

• +2000 points for each group that fansubs the anime in English (starting from 1st episode) Joint projects count only once. Fansub groups MUST have an IRC channel or a website to be counted.
  
• -1000 points if dropped by a fansub group unless due to license
  
• +1500 points for each group that fansubs the anime in English (starting after episode 1 of the anime)
  
• -750 points if dropped by a fansub group that started in the middle
  
• +10000 points if licensed in America during the season (restricted to 1 (one) license per anime). If anime is licensed before season begins then points are awarded in first week. (Licenses shall be defined by AnimeSuki's License Database excluding Crunchyroll "licenses", which are counted as a sub)
  
• +1000*(unweighted score) points for score ratings on MAL upon Week 7

AND THE WINNER OF THE FANTASY ANIME LEAGUE SPRING 2010 IS....

chinlamp!

He shall be receiving a PM club invitation regarding his prize shortly.

As for everyone else, thank you all for yet another great season of the Fantasy Anime League! The Fantasy Anime League will be taking a break for at least one season, but if history is of any guide, we will be back for the Fall 2010 season. Look forward to it! Whether you're a newcomer or you've participated in this past season, everyone is encouraged to join. If you haven't already, join the FAL Club to stay notified of the latest updates, including a PM for when next season's registration begins.

Till then, see you next time

-FAL Staff

Edit: A bit of a problem updating the banners. This should be fixed shortly...

Woo... down to 18th place... woo...

Anyway, good season everybody. This final week didn't go exactly as planned but it was still fun. See you next season.

I stand tall with my ∞ place.

I can't believe I fell out of the top ten at the very last moment. And by less than 1000 points.

I guess what I said before the start in the season still came true. I wanted to finish top twenty, but I was so sure I had a top ten spot guaranteed after Week 13, spending all those weeks before thinking I was going to fall out. Have to look on the bright side though; out of all the FAL staff, I finished the best.

Congratulations chinlamp for winning the season. And a big thanks to the FAL staff that do the counting.

I'll see you all next season!

Thanks to all the staff for their hard work. Hopefully my data works out next season

Congratulations chinlamp for winning. Thank you to all the staff for all their hard work, and well done to all who participated. :D

My prediction was well off completely :P (prediction #96, finished #3)

56th? I guess that's pretty decent for my first try.

Congratulations chinlamp, see all in FALL 2010

Wow. Free fall to 9th at the last week. D:
A big thanks to all the staff throughout the season for their work!

And congratulations to crimson chinlamp this season.

Edit: I see Kentai wasted his final swap or he would have been the winner. Oh well.

Woah, I jumped up MAD RANK.

16th man!

I was happy being in the top 25!!!

Too bad I didn't make top 15 :>

If only I had just never had kiss x sis on my list thing, and just had ichiban whatever in from the start.. :( I missed that "license" stuff. (that and FUCK YOU B Gata H Kei!)

1st.

Wow jumped up 4 spots from 10th to 6th, I'm very happy with my standing.
I would like to thank all the FAL staff for putting all this together and congratz to Chinlamp.

#15, im happy ^^

Congrats to chinlamp! And thanks to the staff for another great season!

39th to 34th? How did I jump so many ranks? LOL. Can't wait for next season!

I'm really loving my track record so far, 3rd last season, 1st this season, hopefully I can make it Top 3 for 3 FAL's in a row.

I would like to thank my 2 months of paying attention to speculation of anime series prior, my gut instinct on what the silly silly people that make up anime fandom will watch (myself included XD) and my various Japanese industry contacts who tell me when things go wrong so I'm warned beforehand (not really, I wish I had those >__> )

Congrats chinlamp!

Yay, top 30!

#75, that's the worst I've done so far. Congrats everybody.

And finally so ends my failure of a season. Until fall then. Congrats chinlamp!

I landed to the 17th place. That's actually my best ranking since I started playing this game. Congratulations to the winners! And thanks to all the staff who made this tournament possible. I'm excited to play again next season.

I am happy that I was able to guess four out of five titles right.

So just a quick question about the banners, the top 3 don't get their own special banners this season do they? Cos I absolutely love my 3rd place banner from last season and I was hoping that there would be another one this season, but if there's not I'll just wait for the normal banner to update.
