The Spring Fantasy Anime League 2024 result

 Fresh of the back of my best season ever, the Winter 2024 where I ended up in the top 6%, the pressure was on to get at least back in the top half of the table.

Which is a nice goal I've set for myself going forward the coming Leagues, though this all is fickle.

The trick is to get as many aces in, and that is something one does not control unfortunatly, on how people's viewing behaviour will turn out, especially with the dubbed versions often influencing the ratings one or two weeks after the original subbed release.

Anyways, here is my selection of picked anime's for this season:

Yuru Camp season 3: strong performer that I managed to ace

Misfit of Demon Academy season 2: my personal flop, I had expected way more of this

Kaiju nr 8:as it blasted through the tresshold on it's debut week, it couldn't be aced. 

Spice and Wolf: The third most popular anime of the season, so I had some good picks

I'm Addicted to You

Date a Live V: Solid performer, though not spectacular.

Black Butler Public School: not as heavy a hitter as I hoped

Whispering You a Love Song

A varied selection, with solid sequel seasons, and some like Spice and Addicted that I had high hopes for.  So let's have a look how I progressed over the 13 weeks of the challenge.

Week 1: 115773 points, 2435 th place, succesfully aced Spice and Wolf

Week 2: 216602 points, 3166 th place 

Week 3: 526163 points, 3184 th place, swapped in Date A Live for I'm Addicted to You,

Week 4: 722229 points, 1907 th place, succesfully aced Yuru Camp

Week 5: 995107 points, 1358 th place, succesfully aced Date A Live

Week 6: 1140488 points, 1796 th place, swapped Misfit for Addicted

Week 7: 1474541 points, 2595 th place

Week 8: 1588911 points, 2906 th place, swapped addicted for Love Song

Week 9: 1832045 points, 3981 th place 

Week 10: 2167417 points, 4170 th place, swapped Love Song for Black Butler

Week 11: 2322103 points, 4696 th place

Week 12: 2565915 points, 5080 th place, used the Bomber Up wildcard

Week 13: 3316521 points, 4805 th place

So right at the finish line, I managed to sneak 200+ places in still, ending up at a nicely done 17% from the top.  While this was achieved with the best and the 3rd ranked anime of the season, to be honest the rest of them didn't do that well at all as can be seen above.  This also resulted in only being able to play 3 out of my 5 aces, so that is a lot of bonus points I couldn't use unfortunatly.

 

So yeah, with some decent though not spectacular performers apart from the obvious Kaiju nr 8 and the good performing Spice and Wolf, I still managed to end in the top 17%, so going over my aim of top 50% once again.

 

There will be no Summer league this year it seems, so that means more time to prepare a strategy (insert hilarious laughter) for the next seasonal contest when it hits!
