I just read manga and watch anime in my free time. I don't consider them to be somehow superior to other forms of art and entertainment. As is the case with everything else, most of it is mediocre or worse. I normally try to avoid mediocrity; using a service like MAL helps me discover and organize the works which I (sometimes mistakenly) hope to be better than that, and spread knowledge of pieces that stand out by writing reviews and compiling Interest Stacks—do check them out!
If you wish to add me as a friend, please note that I rarely accept requests from strangers. If we hadn't talked before, please write something about yourself, your preferences in manga/anime, and why you think we'd be good friends to each other. If you don't write anything, your request will likely be declined immediately or be stuck in limbo for months or even years. I'm interested in meaningful conversation, not inflating the number of people on my friend list. Note that I have disabled profile comments because I don't see them as an appropriate space for conversation. If you want to talk to me, my DMs are open, or you can reach me via MAL Discord (see the "also available at" for the link to the profile). If you want to have a public discussion about my reviews, stacks, or anything else, feel free to tag me on the forums where appropriate. Fall 2021: 196th. First try, flailed around without really knowing what I was doing but had a lofty goal of top-200 (barely made it) and a provisional goal of top-100 (yeah, no). Spring 2022: 26th 25th. Primary goal of top-100 and a provisional of top-50. Actually prepped reasonably well this time, so overshot both. Fall 2022: 13th. Primary goal: better than 25th, provisional goal: top-10. Spent a lot of time and effort gathering data, assembling a good team, and developing a bulletproof strategy. Unfortunately, failed to pick the anime that ended up the 4th strongest overall, but came out ahead of anyone who didn't have it in their team, and had a clear shot at top-10 even without it (though it still didn't materialize for reasons outside of my control). Still did better than the last time, so at least one goal was reached. Spring 2023: 15th. Primary goal: top-10. Provisional goal: top-3. This will be the same henceforth. When I noticed I couldn't make either I wanted to at least do better than the previous time but was denied even that. This was an incredibly rigid season wholly dependent on maximizing the bench value due to the top 4 shows of the season consistently outperforming everything else by a good margin every week, with the 5th best show not far behind. I banked on a potential dark horse which showed good promise, but it ended up a dud which cost me an easy top-3 placement. Still, after picking the team I played the entire season completely optimally this time and overtook teams with much higher scoring potential who either gave up early or played it too safe. Summer 2023: 1067th. Well, that was... utterly embarrassing. Absolutely inexcusable team picks combined with poor planning, unexpectedly weak performance from the new shows, and the most egregious discussion point abuse in FAL's history. Lessons were learnt. Next time I'm gonna pick a safe and well-researched team. Fall 2023: 120th. Did a lot of research, stull picked the wrong restricted show, unfortunately. Would've been 2nd otherwise. Made no mistakes in actual play aside from suboptimal starting lineup. Winter 2024: 1707th. I picked the wrong restricted show again (haha), and made a poor bet, and got bombed, kek. Do I even know how to play this game anymore? Spring 2024: 7th! My best result yet, and that's with two very suboptimal picks. Apparently, I do still know how to play this game. Let's see me try to beat this result in fall. Fall 2024: TBD. I've written a comprehensive guide to FAL. I've also made this data dump and basic interactive scoring calculator. Feel free to copy and use for your own FAL participation. |
