| Ah Bungou Stray Dogs banned along with Koutetsujou no Kabaneri. I would of definitely picked those two. Well this changes my strategy a bit. (was never thinking of picking Asterisk sequel though) Should be an interesting season. Edit: I just noticed Boku Hero no Academia as well. That's 2 out of the 3 Bones shows blacklisted. |
 |
| Wow so many blacklisted for popularity. Limiting my choices to series that air a week after the start D: |
 |
| Time to pick a dream team. Let's see if I can break the top 15 this time. |
 |
| Hmm relatively short notice this time. There's still time for me to decide what I want to try doing this time around, though. The only real change to rules on last time is a drop of 5000 in the # of members to make a series ineligible for ace status. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| so, attack on titan is blacklisted, but Gundam Unicorn and Macross are not interesant..... |
if you look at the ptw count, gundam and macross aren't anywhere near as popular as the other series do take into consideration, western anime watchers aren't as heavily into mecha as japan |

 |
| Hmm, I thought Kiznaiver would be blacklisted since it passed 20k. That changes some things for me. Otherwise, the four blacklisted ones weren't surprising. Glad to see spring season is happening~ I collected data since the beginning of this month, although idk how much it'll help me. Can never prepare for a blackhorse. |
| Yay, FAL is back again. Only a week to register this time, but that doesn't really affect me much since I always end up registering at the last minute lol The blacklisted series for this season were easy to predict, so I already have a team in mind. Need to do some number watching before finalizing it, though. Is there going to be a banner contest for this season? I-It's not like I made one ahead of time or anything like that... :x |
Yes, there will be! Information about that will be up later tonight! |
| Bans to be expected. Already submitted my team. Seems fairly forward for 6 out of the 7 shows. Only had trouble picking my last show. |

| Last time I'm finish at 54 but now I'm aiming at top 25. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Don't a bunch of these shows start airing before registration closes? |
| Wow, and there goes half of my team. I expected some blacklisting, but not for all 3 of my top picks to be ineligible. That's kind of disappointing. Boku no Hero Academia? -ok, Attack on Zombie - yeah that one's pretty obvious, but Bungou Stray Dogs?? - yeah it's expected that it'll be popular, but to the point of being blacklisted? Well, I had more than 7 picks anyway so I guess it's time to re-examine some of the back burners. Off to do more research, hope I can put together a better team than last season, I always seem to put together a solid team then royally mess up 1 pick every season. Wish me luck! |

That moment when character limit screws me in a clubDon't a bunch of these shows start airing before registration closes? in that case not sure if i like to live dangerously because ima wait til the last minute to submit my team or i don't like to live dangerously because I'm waiting for this stuff to start airing before making my final call |
| first time doing this, let's see if i get begginers luck and get a top 10 spot to bad tokantsu dj agetarou isn't a pik, becuase i'm preety sure it will be a sleeper hit like osomatsu-san in fall season |

| Wow my list got destroyed T_t |
| First try at FAL here as well. I think I picked a rather unorthodox team so I don't expect to be ranked very high, but it'll be interesting nonetheless. |

| I don't understand how to earn these scores: +3000*((un)weighted score) points for score ratings on MAL upon week 3. +6000*((un)weighted score) points for score ratings on MAL upon week 7. +9000*((un)weighted score) points for score ratings on MAL upon week 10. +12000*((un)weighted score) points for score ratings on MAL at the end of the FAL season (week 14). Sorry this is my first time. |

Sorry this is my first time. Let's say in week 3, the rating of Kiznaiver is 7.7. The points you will get for Kiznaiver in that week will be 23,100 (3000*7.7). In week 7, Kiznaiver has a rating of 7.4. The points you will get for Kiznaiver for that week will be 44,400 (6000*7.4). I think you may be confused with what "score rating" means here. It just means the rating of a show :) |

Sorry this is my first time. Hi! These refer to the MAL score for a given anime. On this page it's the column labeled 'Score,' and on an anime's database entry it should be fairly easy to find. Let's say you have two anime titles; one has a score of 8.15 and the other has a score of 7.15. For week 7, the one whose score is 8.15 would earn 48900 points for Score, while the one whose score is 7.15 would earn 42900 for Score. |
| K, the asterisk was a multiplication sign. I get it now. I was looking for the explanation of the asterisk. |

| First time doing this, I hope I do well! |
  |
| First time doing this!! Hope to get inside top 50 lol! Wish me luck & BEST OF LUCK to all other participants..XD |
 Your life to come is bound to make you smile |
| Is there a way to know if my form was entered into the FAL or not? Or is it just assumed it went through? |

| Here we go, i'm gonna try it for the first time, i have no idea what im doing but i hope my team will be doing right. |

| Quick question: how will forum discussion points work for Magi: Sinbad no Bouken? MAL is not listing episodes 2-6 on the TV page as they previously aired as an OVA...so will there be discussion posts in the forum when those episodes air or will there just be no forum discussion threads for that period? |
| Wow having registration so late is a really different FAL experience. I submitted my team a couple days ago, but now I feel like I need to revise it based on some of the premieres. Like, WOW Ace Attorney looks like butt, while JoJo had a strong enough start that it seems it might be a good early season pick. I worry that the late registration date might make for a more boring season where there's a 20-way tie or something. But then again, it's kind of fun being able to "fix" your team once as the early shows start. Still not sure which Crappy Light Novel Adaptation will be the one to pick though. The time loop one or that "no girls on the internet" thing? |
|
| I think I remember forum posts start counting after FAL starts and every post made before that is not included for points. Is this correct ? |

| Registration for FAL Spring 2016 has now ended! If you missed the registration for this season, don't worry. We'll be back for another FAL season in Fall 2016. Hope to see you then! |
