Do you get a profile badge not matter what ?

literally worthless, they take the top 8 shows and just remove them, who even watches the rest of the garbage that piles up at the bottom lmao, waste of time as usual with everything MAL does

@SNEAUXDAY obviously you are new to anime...

*edit*

umm yeah just looking at your "dropped" anime list, you obviously dont even know which anime are even good.. my god who drops hunter x hunter, bleach, samurai champloo, gintama and anohana: the flower we saw that day?!

Thoughts on team, please? I'm worried about not having 4 airing anime in the first week. I also think Blue exorcist is not going to do big numbers.

@Imi_wakannai hxh is absolute dogshit, bleach is mid, the only thing good about champloo is the music, gintama is boring, and anohana just didnt do it for me. but keep on spouting about like a dirty weeb yenno, go for it

@NotMyListOkay looks solid enough. I salute you with bucchi, sengoku, and yajuu bench. Let's hope its work out and you understand the rules, etc etc

@badabass I expect Yajuu to move to active fast, it's benched cuz it doesn't air week 1. The other 2 I'm banking on becoming hits and surpassing an active., at least 1. But I'm really not confident about bokuyaba being the top scorer of the "1 per sason category" or maybe not having Blue exorcist instead of dosanko gal or metallic rouge.

@NotMyListOkay i feel like you can putting yajuu on bench first to see if its can be a better pick than dosanko and rouge. If you sure it can get a better point than i suggest to change dosanko cause i feel like its going to be the weakest out of three, yajuu, rouge and dosanko. But it's up to you.

@SNEAUXDAY Nah man. Imagine if the top 8, you say there, aren't ban or restrict that have a very big possibility all people will choose it all. What kind of decision they need to choose for the winner?

About Aces there's on thing that always confuse me (and isn't addressed in rules), if anime with most points didn't surpassed threshold but I used Ace on it week before means I will lose points if I chose as Ace anime with second best score in current week?

@badabass

I agree, it was enjoyably hard to choose all anime in this FAL, when previously you could fairly easy predict which anime will be on top.


My list:
Active:
Mato Seihei no Slave, Dungeon Meshi, Ao no Exorcist, Yubisaki to Renren, Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete
Bench:
Himesama "Goumon" no Jikan desu, Urusei Yatsura (2022) 2nd Season, Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi

Unfortunately I kinda messed up with choosing Blue Exorcist... :( xD
but still Rank 52 is my best record for all FALs I participated.

@Nieznajomy43 Luck kinda have a bigger role in this type of game tbh. Aspect of technique can be learn along the way xd

Imho your active isn't bad, decent at least. Bench can be awkward at times, but i am sure there will be a way to make it works.

@badabass

Luck is definitely important but in the same time I was able to hit "jackpot" in 4 cases out of 5 and placing me on 3rd place. (at least for now) :P


I can only imagine frustration of people who choose eg "Blue Exorcist" (like me) over "Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu Season 2"... person with team like this (5/5 jackpot) would have (probably) guarantee 1st place.
That's why I hope I'm not attacking your list/choice but do you think Metallic Rouge will gain popularity and will place higier? I'm just kinda surprised you didn't choose "Mato Seihei no Slave" instead. You were so close to perfection.

@Nieznajomy43 yea you have a solid active, but have a doubt with some of your bench, especially Slave tbh.

Bokuyaba kinda the right choice you know haha. But sadly seems like Rouge have a trouble start. Same with Yajuu and Bucchi which i thought can be a carry for my team. Now my team is fucked lmao.

At least i still have bokuyaba. So i should be higher than yours in the end xd

@badabass

You also have "Sasaki to Pii-chan" which already surpassed my "Hokkaido Gals" and "Blue Exorcist". :')


If only I watched first season of Bokuyaba (main reason why I didn't choose it in this FAL). 😭

@Nieznajomy43 that's why i said everything else just like a dead weight xd

Yeah if only y'know bokuyaba goated haha

@badabass

That's how I was expecting, you surpassed me this week.



But still why aren't you changing "Sasaki to Pii-chan" with "Metallic Rouge"? 😭

Another year another Fantasy begins. AND I FRICKIN' MISSED IT :<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Just letting yall know, you should pick Bucchigiri as a bench anime. It's gonna be a certified banger. Trust me. Guranteed.

Good story/plot, and it's animated by studio MAPPA.
