Registration is now closed!

A big thanks to everyone who registered for FAL Spring 2018! This season has a total of 659 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 April 7th, 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!

Decide to discard GinEiDen at last second. Feel that aside for being a meme there will be a lot of people that are disappointed.

Way more people picked LoGH than I expected. Honestly feel like it's viewer count will be too low for it to be viable, even with high score/low drops.
(sure hope i'm not horribly wrong)

Also, Uma Musume having double points and a two episode premiere has me a bit worried.

devils line, i dunno, it didn't pop out to me during selection and it is 4th highest picked? must be some marriage of vampire knight and tokyo ghoul or something.

kinda surprised Hinamatsuri was picked more than Mahou Shoujo Site. I decided to pick up title that will be more stable in the later weeks but don't have a week 1 points hence I chose Hisone to Maso-tan over Devils Line hope I don't regret it.

Goodluck everyone!

I have a series on my active team this time that doesn't have double points? And not even close either so will probably stay that way the whole time.

This season is so stacked, there's no room for a wild card pick. I had to remove Tiramisu on my team just to insert Devils Line. Good for those who got Uma Musume on their team.

Chose mahou shoujo ore instead of devils line. Not sure if that was the right choice but devils lines seemed like it would do good initially and then gets dropped by a lot of users. And I wanted to go for a double scorer but was too afraid to choose the wrong one...

Well I got a unique team this time so let's see how it will turn out.

Yeah choosing LoGH is pretty risky. It's status as reboot is worse than sequel. Considering reboot want it or not will always be compared to the original.

What was I thinking when I discarded Persona 5 for my team and replaced it with something else? >_> I have a bad feeling about this. :P But this is the first time that I have a unique team in an FAL season. :o How far up or down could I go or drop?

Anyway, good luck to everyone! x)

Certainly a tricky thing. I doubt it will be well-liked, but I can still imagine that a lot of people will keep watching it. It's not too unusual for many to watch something to the end, even if they dislike it, especially when it's something particularly interesting to them (in this case, a reboot of an anime they like). Of course, some might drop it even harder for the same reason. It's quite a gamble.

I'm surprised so many people picked Hinamatsuri. I'm still quite unsure about it, but hopefully it was the right choice.

Not sure if I should be surprised about so many people picking Ginga Eiyuu... I kind of expected it because the member count seemed to be high, but decided against it because other remakes also had problems (like Berserk).

I hope having both Wotaku and Golden Kamuy on the bench won't kill my points...

Good luck everyone!

Let's hope for really well, cause I have the same picks as you do. Last time I had a unique roster, cant even claim the hipster status this time if I don't do well >_<

Hinamatsuri's PV looked really good tbh and the manga rating is pretty high so that might be that.

And yeah, having either Wotaku or Kamuy on the bench til week 5 didn't feel right so I personally put one in the starting roster, but that might end up costing me if Kamuy doesn't pick up early.

Hinamatsuri is the thing on my list that worries me the most, as well, and i used the same logic as you for not picking Ginga Eiyuu.

Wotaku has a pretty huge popularity, so my guess was that some of the shows like Hina will not even get that high in week 1, so that's why I left Wotaku in the active team, and Hina on the bench, we will see who had the better hunch.

Hinamatsuri was my 7th pick and I decided to go with it over the other options like Mahou Shoujo Site because of how well regarded the manga seems to be, so I'm hoping at least for a high scorer in the final weeks.

I didin't choose Mahou Shoujo Site because I feel that it won't be much better with what happen to Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku. Also I choose Hinamatsuri to replace LoGH because it's seem to be more stable.

What I worry the most is Saredo Tsumibito. I feel it will fill quota for edgy series that MAL love but even then 'm not sure about it.

the technobabble synopsis just made me feel like that show is not gonne be that successful. But who knows, which LN trash adaption becomes successful among the masses each season is one of the harder things to predict except by using the PTW numbers. They mostly sound equally... promising to me.

Hinamatsuri is kinda of my oddball pick. I put it on bench this time around.

I'm honestly surprised Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou got that high and is on so many people's lists. While the first few episodes will probably rack up a decent amount of points, I doubt it will do good in the long run.

My main risk here is Mahou Shoujo Site. Got a weird feeling about this series.

So far so good. Good thing I haven't picked up any of the shows that have aired already since most have pretty bad ratings already. I was kinda hesitatant whether to add 3D Kanojo or not but after reading the manga; good thing I didn't. It'll probably be around low 7s to high 6s when it starts airing or even when it finishes :)

and Mahou Shoujo Site probably won't rank that high and just watching the trailer makes me feel that way. Hopefully I'm right. High hopes for Megalo Box and Golden Kamuy.

Piano no Mori seems is probably going to be well received either way, while Tada kun and Wotaku will no doubt be popular and will probably be sitting at high 7s to low 8
Caligula looks promising but Satelight isn't necessarily good. But just maybe... Hisone to Maso tan might be the underdog of the season with its artstyle hehe

I have high hopes with my picks

Welp. Here we go guys and gals.

I also want to point out that I spent between 6 and 8 hours researching the upcoming shows when making my team. So I'm happy that all that time was nullified by everyone picking the exact same team. :S haha its okay I'm just crying in the shower.

I remember taking longer in my first seasons than I do now, but even then 6-8 hours is pretty hefty. You really mostly have to look at MAL ptw numbers and then make a few decisions based on your instincts for the last 2-3 spots sine there's usually 3-4 auto-includes.

I have almost the same team as you (only Mahou Shoujo Site instead of Piano no Mori) and I considered quite a lot adding Piano instead of Site or Hinamatsuri.
Also did ~6 hours research, so I guess at least that means that all that research didn't go to nothing.
Of course, results will tell.

LoGH was a risky move anyway just based on it's niche fanbase on MAL. Despite the high score of the OVA, it is not an easily accessible series for a lot of anime fans. We're talking about a 30 year old anime that has been watched by less than 50k people on MAL so it's only natural a sequel wouldn't hit the ground running. I never even considered it for my team.
