12th place! \o/

I'm sad I wasn't able to ace Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou. Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei got +2,000 watchers overnight!

Better watch out for Blade and Soul. Remember: only 16 teams can have it as active before it loses double points!

130. well it could be worse i guess..
realized too late that mekakucity actors only starts next week which lost me a couple of points.

Anyway, I really didn't expect Blade and Soul to be this high right away °-°

Oh well, the x2 bonuses really screwed up my expectations, but I'm still comfortable not betting on them because it was pretty close for them and 2 of them will probably loose their bonus next week anyway.
Still not up for a great start with rank 24 and unlike the bonus shows Bokura wa Minna seems like a more permanent threat.

I can't believe how noone aced Blade and Soul though, that was a huge opportunity for 3k extra points in the long run.
I probably regret this post by now.

104th is is about 200 places higher than I was expecting, but I suppose the anime I picked, as bad as they are likely to do in the long run, at least did well enough to somewhat hold their own on week 1.

Not even in the top 300 this time well i have full fate that the hyped incest anime will fail so things should look better soon.
First bench swap already posted so i have full fate for next week.

First ranking 80th,okay ranking for first time playing I guess.

Probably could have done better though,if I had had Gokukoku no Brynhildr on my active team instead Mekakucity Actors (didn't realize it aired in the 2nd week).
I had that one benched but decided to use it for my first swap.

belatkuro stole the rank 1 for the week off demonflame12 because the latter didn't use an ace, and on a series that will likely never be ace-able again.

Really hoped I'd be able to use an ace on "Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou" though :(

171, worst start ever! Understandable since 2 of 5 of my starters have yet to air. At least I can safely say that there's nowhere else to go but up! But that Blade and soul tho, is it even any good? Because I'm betting a huge drop rate in the coming Weeks for it.

Rank #24. Not bad considering one of the shows hasn't even began airing yet. Hoping some of the others will score higher later on. I kinda regret picking Akuma no Riddle over Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou now though.

All in all, I'm not unhappy with the first week for my team, if I was going for points in the first week obviously I should've chosen Bokura wa Minna over Akuma no Riddle, however my main focus was building a team that will get the most points in the long run, not considering the first week this time, so I didn't put much thought into first week shows this season. I'm planning on subbing Akuma no Riddle out next week most likely anyway (depending on how well Mekakucity does during that one day it will be available) and hopefully the rest of my team delivers so all goes according to plan maybe even the Haikyuu boom helps, who knows.

I expected Blade and Soul to be a double score team throughout the season, however with the current following it seems like it will soon become normal, hoping that the users that have it on their team pay enough attention to put in their active list, since I'd expect most competitive teams not to include it at all.

Even when I'm only have three show airing this week I'm still get 50th place. With Isshukan friend and Mekaku City next week I will aim higher.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I knew the first week would be bad, so at least I'm in the top half of the leaderboard right now (#171). Already concerned that Mushishi couldn't reach 5000 viewers this week while most of the other first week shows easily surpassed that number.

Late to the party since the results come out while I'm asleep.
But wow, I was expecting to place high but not this high. Well I barely made it since like kuuderes_shadow said, the #2 didn't submit an ace so I got the highest unique score bonus as well.

The problem starts from here though. With the new anime starting to come out in the 2nd week, there will be huge leaps in watching since new shows are more likely to attract viewers than sequels(though there are some exceptions like FT). Gokukoku no Brynhildr and Haikyuu for example just overtook Mushishi in less than a day in terms of watching.

Depending on how my bench will play out when they start to air, I might bench Mushishi. Then again, there's the new rules factoring in the scores and Mushishi is doing very well in that matter, being a sequel and a beloved show and all. I'll have to crunch the numbers to see what will be beneficial for me in the long run.
I was aiming to place high in the first week and didn't consider much what comes next. And I severely underestimated how fast shows can get watchers overnight.
The biggest offender for this is Mahouka, overtaking Bokura wa so quickly so I wasn't able to use it as an ace. I might be stuck with just one ace the entire season. There's probably hope on the final week since the score multiplier is very high so I'm gonna count on Mushishi on that.

Good start for the FAL season.

Congratulations to the guy on the last place with negative points.

And now we have only 11 teams that have blade and soul on active, thanks to mr Troll Evbev. D:

It's not necessarily a mistake, it depends on some factors :
if the subs will come early, if the hype is comparable to the hype of mahouka koukou no rettousei, the number of posts for mekakucity in 24 hours compared to the number of posts for mushishi in 10 days, ...
