 Fantasy Anime League (FAL) is like Fantasy Sports with an anime twist. Players form their own "team" of anime from the Spring 2024 season, which collect points according to criteria like: # of users watching, # of users discussing, etc. You don't even need to watch the anime you've chosen! Compete against your friends and other community members to see who has the best prediction power (or luck!) to come out on top.

Changes since Winter 2024
Please spread the word of FAL and get your friends to join! If the game continues to grow, we can devote more resources to making it better and better. Also, as a head's up: I'm sorry to say that we won't be running FAL for Summer 2024 this year :< It's a bit too labour-intensive for our resources at the moment, so we'll return to only Spring/Fall seasons for now. Thanks for your understanding :nyaapray: |
| Rip no Summer 2024. Anyway, by how the restrictions list goes, i might not having any restrictions for spring fal. Let's see if i change my mind near the deadline... Edit: also this is my initial pick. Feel free to copy xd |

 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Time to internally debate against myself which anime is going to be AOTS >_< Oo Amazon gift card, nice. Kinda sad that there won't be any Summer/Winter FAL now, but it's understandable. Btw, will the interest stacks be making a comeback? Didn't see any in the badge lineup that was posted in another thread. |

| Team is ready to rumble. First fantasy league I'm taking part in, I'm scared. No hoodies :( |
| Damn all sequel on the restrictions list... wow |

There is my first draft team |

@badabass Noted, thanks!
So if I go with popular anime then Kaijuu and Maou should be a no-brainer. Or is there some catch with Maou?
Finding the anime that can get >8 score is probably gonna be the tricky part...

| @Asvados yea maou gakouin seems like a common pick. Restrictions list also suits for the popular jobs. Some new shows also gonna be popular like Wind Breaker, or like Spice and Wolf, id assume. So good luck choicing all that matters xd |

@badabass Okay great, thanks.
I noticed something interesting about Maou Gakouin: The part airing next season has ~98,400 but the previous part that aired on Winter 2023 has ~82,600 completed. Is that something I should take into account? Perhaps an indication that it's gonna underperform?

| @Asvados yeah should be about at least half. But i hopes its gonna be more than that. |

| This is my first fantasy league! I combed every single entry and went with shows I plan on watching or looked interesting to me (sans sequels, prequels, etc). I'm probably playing to lose hah but I'm just in it for the fun. Concerning my current roster, I am almost guaranteed to try and watch the Active shows. The Bench shows are possibilities that I may watch. I'm hoping to be surprised on what will stand out to me! Have fun everyone! |
| nice new badge |
 |
| Damn sad that there's no hoodie this coming season D: but really glad to hear we are going back to 2 season per year!!! I find that it was getting more difficult to keep up with FAL when you have back to back seasons since you're focused on the current season ending while in just 2 weeks, you need to prep for the next season. I think having a season break in between is nice! |

| let's gooo another one, hope getting lucky this time lol |
 |
| Oh no! There is no FAL summer this year. 🥺 Luck doesn't know. All the anime released this season all have potential. Looking at the competition, I see two that might make a good impact or flop. And here are my predictions for this season. Good luck guys in this challenge. have fun!!! |
  |
| Winter 2024 was a ranking disaster for me, gearing up for spring 2024 now |
| No FAL summer? Well... at least I want to rest (vacation mode)... if I remember correctly, there might be 1 season break per year and not continuing per season... Here's my prediction for this season... I have a little confused, why the Misfit demon king academy s2 2nd cour put it on general vote that the no. Of viewers almost reach to 100k (99,140+ views) and this anime considered it banned in less than 14 days, together with the 5 very popular banned anime for this season?🤔 And lastly, my question was: why hibike euphonium put it on restriction mode? 🤔 |

| This is new for me. Wish me luck! There were some great choices, I'm looking forward to watching these anime later on. |
| Too bad, my favorite FAL Badges are Summer and Winter because of the colors. Well, I know it's hard to manage something like this every single season so no problem. I didn't take it seriously last season so I'll do better for this one! |
 |
| Any rec to win? |
| Sentai Daishikkaku or Wind Breaker? both seem good bench prospects rn |
 |
| Interesting changes for this season for sure was nice having a full year of mal fantasy, but understandable that it is more feasible to only have the main seasons. Date/yuru camp are the safest restricted. Probably recommended taking yuru for sure as it will def have a 8+ score and have decent viewership. Might change up to hibike, but it doesn't seem like it gets a lot of viewers even if it does score very highly. |

| @Asvados your team looks solid. Now you need to understand the rules well and then you settled. |

Reply to Asvados
@badabass Yeah I'll start reading them now. Is there any rule I should pay extra attention to?
| @Asvados well i'd say the most important part is acing rules. There's a good guide you can read to understand the rule better. I'll attach the link here so you can read by yourself: https://moozooh.notion.site/A-Comprehensive-Guide-to-Fantasy-Anime-League-e1082528f076426ca4f19aecca212c5b Here's the thread maker for the guide: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2084059 You can ask him more, or just join the mal discord and choose fal channel to ask more people about how the rules impact fal play. |

| @Asvados Very similar no mine. The main has only one difference, I didn't include the one with the blue haired girl and instead put Viral Hit. It was the first one I chose and wasn't followong the criteria yet, but chose to put some manhwa adaptation in there. |
