Registration is now closed!

A big thanks to everyone who registered for FAL Spring 2016! This season has a total of 269 teams. We're happy that so many people are interested in FAL and hope everyone has lots of fun~
Good luck everyone, and may the best team win!

Listed below are the initial teams for this season. Please note that we won't edit this list as the season progresses. Instead, you'll find a detailed overview of your team's status for every week later in the FAL club forum. Make sure to join and frequently check the FAL club for the newest information.

Please follow the link below to see if your team is correct. The titles are sorted alphabetically (order doesn't matter). Make sure that your active team and bench are correctly separated. If you spot a mistake, please report it by sending a PM to FALbot before Friday April 8th, 23:59 UTC. We will only accept corrections if your team is different from the one you sent us. You can't swap titles if you changed your mind (not even between active team and bench).

Click here to check your teams!

3 series on my active team which noone else has on their active team including one that noone else has on their team at all, and one series on my bench that only one other person has on their team at all. I think I succeeded in this season's goal of "most unique team". Now to chase after the subsidiary goal of last place.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I really hope Sousei no Omnyouji flops. Why exactly is there so much hype for such a seemingly bog-standard shounen anime anyway?

What excellent stats.

Anyway, for those who may be wondering, the double watching/completed points bonus will be applicable when points are tallied on any week that a given series is on eight or fewer active teams. Swap wisely, players!

Damn, Kagewani was on my reserve bench just before I sent off my form and I changed it at the last second - I'm now regretting not keeping it on xD

Anyway, my team is correct and it looks like for now I have 2 active shows at under 8 members so fingers crossed that gives me the edge. I'm excited to see how this all pans out and I'm 100% prepared to crash and burn - good luck everyone!

Tfw Endride gets the double point bonus. Maybe I should have kept it on my bench. :|

I'm pretty happy with my team otherwise. It's clear @fst messed up this time. I'm kinda curious if @Lollo36's and @Paulo27's teams will outperform mine with the choice of Mayoiga. @Pullman has a strong looking lineup as usual, and @silverwalls inclusion of SnO is interesting. Mfw @Xykko didn't change his team.

Looking forward to it.

For those who are curious, Hai-Furi has a plot from what I've heard so not sure if that's going to influence anything about the usual "cute girls doing cute things".

My risk here is Kuromukuro. Honestly, I think the show will be a good contender considering that it's retaining the similar artwork style as most of P.A. Works' other series.

> Sousei no Omnyouji
Nope, I think this will be above average at best.

Also got a feeling that Ace Attorney will flop hard later on.

I heavily doubt Netoge will do well. Neither the director nor the studio have a good track record on MAL. If you were going to go with one of the ecchi titles, I'd argue that Hundred would be better since Production IMS has two precedents of producing LN ecchi adaptations that are popular on MAL, plus a decent director and (speculatively) only minor airing censors.

Battle academy or no, I will be surprised if Hundred doesn't end up being the superior choice in that area.

You could still do better than me if Mayoiga ends up being more of a powerhouse than I expected, but you've made an obvious mistake.

He's being a smug little prick about the fact that we have JoJo on our active because in reality, he knows he fucked up and is just trying to psyche us out now.

And with that, Shounen Maid is guaranteed double points for the entire season no matter what. The staff look pretty strong, the studio have a pretty good track record on FAL and I think crossdressing boys has enough of a niche that this pick will work out really well for me, especially.if the humour is good enough to reach out beyond its niche.

It meant sacrificing Sakamoto, but "somewhat popular" with x2 for the entire season probably beats "quite popular".on x1, assuming the mean scores are around the same (expecting high 7s/low 8s for these two).

As for the rest of the things, just going with a standard week 1 layout. Maybe choosing both Netoge and Mayoiga wasn't the wisest of choices since both are likely to fall off later, but Shounen Maid's permanent double score will mitigate that if it takes off well enough.

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

I doubt Mayoiga will do well in the long run. It might in the first few weeks, kinda like with Terra Formars a few FAL seasons back. We'll see.

hey remember what happened last time

"Ha. That's cute.

Week one rankings mean little in the long term, and in this season particularly there are a lot of week two starters. Come back to brag in a couple weeks. :3"

We shall see (I don't necessarily hate putting Shounen Maid in, but Sakamoto might not have been the best to drop). Spring 2015 the top 6 shows were the 3rd, 6th, 2nd, 1st, 11th, and 4th most picked. Fall 2014 was 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 11th, 5th most picked in that order in the final standings. Fall 2015 was pretty 'chalk' as well.

I gambled on that and Mayoiga not delivering. I liked the studio/director combo for Kuromukuro but decided not to make a reach on a show without a known original source or much hype (or any in this case). Probably still feeling burned from Concrete Revolution's failure to gain an audience in Fall.

Not sure why people picked Jojo. It's not going to be a top-contender or worth gambling on.

During 2014 Spring FAL, it didn't do that great.

Considering it has had a sequel since then, the watch #'s are going to be even lower.

That was the reason I had it off my roster until this morning...but at the very least it is going to come out strong early, after which I can sub it out for whichever of my bench anime pans out the best.

It's already doing better than the first season of stardust crusaders in the same week

In spring 2014 SC was at 6287 in the first week, 11228 in the third week and 18010 in the final week.
It was useful to have it in the final week due to its good stats ^^

Oops. I should've started Sousei or Sakamoto over Jojos. Don't know what I was thinking! I think Jojo might be a worthwhile bench, subbing it in the final week due to its high rating, but the former two shows will probably quickly rise above it before the end of week 1.

I knew I should've put Jojo in on my team. I figured it would have a lot of people, but I didn't know it would have such a good rating off the bat. I wish I put it in for ace attorney. I'm basically banking on Joker Game or Sakamoto doing really well. But hey, at least my team has two that get double points so that's good. I just need to figure out if I should swap Seisen Cerberus in instead of Ace Attorney.

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.
