I also add this to my team, people say the light novel is pretty good. Hope this will become the dark horse of Fall season.

yep, the idea is too niche for it get popular if it's just ok or good.

but it seems like it could be more than just good, in which case it could be massive by the end of the season.

I love studio pine jam, and I will be certainly watching do it yourself myself.

but I feel like with Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! Double and specially with Urusei Yatsura (2022) filling out the slice of life section, and with spy x family being THE feel good show to watch, I don't see it becoming popular enough to be worth it. and it doesn't seem like a show that would get a super high score to make up for it either.


I'm stuck between the other 2, because I think depending on how good they are, both of them could be huge. we haven't had a good new shoujo romance since the fruits basket remakes, and raven is unique enough to stand out as long it's something great.

both have pretty good staff, and both are by very capable studios.

I noticed that the first episode of raven airs before the selection time for FAL ends, so I'm probably going to wait until that airs, and decide which one to pick based on that. I think I'm pretty good at noticing how good the writing and directing is, so I should have a pretty good idea of how good the show is going to be from the start.



Last time I missed out on my top 10 or maybe even top 3 because I aced komi at the wrong time and didn't pick ya boy kongming.

still got 131st but it was really heart breaking seeing myself not get there for only 2 errors.

Are you considering another title besides this one or are just trying to figure out if it will score well?

Personally, I don't think it will do well. I'd be surprised to see it in the top 15. Remember your team doesn't have to be titles you're going to watch. It's hard for me not to include Yowapeda on mine, but I don't think it'll do well either.

Tbh, neither. I've read the manga for 'Princess of the Bibliophile' and personally, I like it, but it can be very boring.
And it isn't considered very unique. It definitely doesn't reach 'Fruit of Basket' potential, that's for sure.

And I very much doubt a serious historical fantasy like Raven without action or
comedy would do well on MAL. I think there are better choices to fill your bench.

However, do take my advice with a grain of salt, seeing as how my rank in the two times I participated in FAL
was....well, let's just say not even in the top +1000.... 〒▽〒

I take your word for "Princess of the Bibliophile"

I'm actually going to watch the first episode of raven before deciding since it comes out before FAL starts.

but If I am being honest, I'm only stuck on the third bench.

I'm pretty sure the bench to go for is the new gundam, and my main prediction for the dark horse is Akiba Maid War.


I actually ranked really well last time. I got 130th, and would have been in the top 10 if I had predicted ya boy kongming.

The thing is, I think I'll really like Raven. But therein lies the problem. If it's not mainstream and I like it, then it probably will not
be popular. This is what I've come to realize lately. Like how I thought 'Taishou Otome Otogibanashi' and 'Honzuki no Gekokujou'
would at least reach the top 10. ^^ Deep insanity too.

As for Gundam, even though the prologue seemed to be received well, I feel like it can be a hit or a miss. I had my eyes on Akiba too,
but I don't have the courage to add that to my bench due to the low member count. ^^ I don't want a repeat of Deep Insanity.

Still, 130 is awesome. I doubt I'll ever make it there....

I've only decided on 3 of the 5 anime in my active team, and I haven't decided on a single one to put in bench yet....

I feel like while the idea isn't a main stream one, that exact reason would make it popular IF and only IF it's great.

which is why it's first episode airing before FAL starts is going to be a huge help.

the tricky part about benches is that, you have to take risks. if the show is not more popular and/or highly rated as your active ones, it's going to be worthless.

the middle ground would still be a miss, so you have to try to find the show that will rise to the top. shows like ya boy kongming, odd taxi or ousama ranking are the types that you should look for.
