| That's funny... I was about to head to bed and then remembered about the FAL results and they were only posted 14 minutes prior lucky. 91th out of 132th... I expected this, I was really noy feeling confident in my team after all... but... yeah maybe with some good swaps I can get up <3 |
 |
| Picking index over Jojo... Bad idea. No official subs to help populate it. |
 |
| welp i'm done with this season see y'all in spring |
| Sigh.... I didn't pick Jojo. Went with Index instead. It didn't get an international release and that really hurt my team. |
 |
| Who would have though that Juliet is flopping that hard. Isn't the manga popular enough to win an award? |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

I thought of going with Jojo but decided to take a chance and bet on the hype. It could still flip though once word gets around. |
| Tied for 8th good start for me, btw which shows will get x2 points here? |
 |
| Jojo fucked me once in the past and I thought I had learned from my mistakes |
| I'm ranked 11th! :D Not bad for my 1st week this FAL season. :) I decided to pick JoJo over Index in the long run. I always thought JoJo would get official subs and that would help it rack up points early on in the game. |
| 13th, but looking like Radiant is going to kill me (and only Juliet to bring in off of the bench). |
| ugh i should have started with jojo on my active team, didn't think it would have such a strong start. |

| There seems to be multiple series that got double points in the final scoring even though they weren't supposed to. They were tallied correctly in the "Week 1 Anime Points" but got double points in the "Total Weekly Points Rankings" Didn't check every series but it's the case with Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteru and RErideD. Don't know if this has been reported in other threads so I'm posting just in case :) |

| Other ones include: Anima Yell! Hinomaruzumou Release the Spyce SSSS.Gridman Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru! Ulysses: Jehanne Darc to Renkin no Kishi Which I believe means Jhiday gets highest unique team score |

I thought of going with Jojo but decided to take a chance and bet on the hype. It could still flip though once word gets around. JoJo's fanbase, on the other hand, seems to have only grown in the last 2 years. 2016's anime was a slow starter, and I think only performed well because of its high score in later weeks. However, since it finished airing, its number of users has almost tripled. Someone told me it's a giant meme now, so perhaps it's almost cult classic levels? People aren't waiting to watch it because they want to hop on the meme train? Tbh I thought I made a mistake having it on my active team after I submitted it. In all the years I've participated in FAL, I think the closest I ever got to 1st place was like 4th when only 30 people played :'D Doubt I'll stay up there, but it was nice to finally get #1 even for a single week. |
| Nice to be 4th but that's only because of Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru score being wrong :'D It got lower score than Juilet by a few hundreds so I guess I should have had that in my active team. Why I didn't pick Jojo is beyond me. I hope Toaru helps in weeks that counts scores... |

Was in the final weeks of finishing my PhD thesis so most of it is a blur... |
| Wtf... I'm 4th hahahahaha ;3 |
 |
| At the very least 7 other people suffer the same fate as me this time hahaha. |

| No JoJo, no hope. |
| I didn't know JoJo was available. I'm toast this season T-T *cries throughout all of FAL* |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| I should have went with the Bunny girl instead of Gridman like I wanted to (grrr) but 65th isn't too bad I guess |
| Being a lurker, I've never had the chance to say before, so firstly, I would like to thank the people that run FAL. I know it's hard work and a pretty thankless job to do so and I appreciate you. After the bitter taste of what happened with the Spring season, I worried that I wouldn't see another FAL competition. I'm glad to see I was wrong. I know it means little at this point but it's so thrilling to see that I'm tied for first. I can't believe it. The best I've ever done before was a couple weeks at number 6 back during the Fall 2013 contest. Of course, I can only go down from here. |

Not to mention the first time a JoJo TV series was in FAL, it did very, very poorly compared to other shows airing at the time. This was likely bc anime-wise all it'd had before then was the old OVAs. Now that it's had a few years for fans to get into the various seasons it's stupid popular. I am one of those hardcore Raildex fans (Raildex being a collective term for the Index and Railgun shared universe) who has in fact been waiting years for a season three, which is why I put it on my team. I'd hoped Railgun S's performance would have been enough of an indicator that this would do well too. How wrong I was. I'd say that Index III's slow reception is at least half due to lack of official English simulcast. Pretty sure most who picked it assumed that FUNi would take it like they've taken all the previous seasons of Index and Railgun. |
