I think Enri had the right idea here. We should all have been watching Fractale with no eyes. So, Fractale is over, and the ending is a hilarious mess. Nothing really makes any sense at all, but the characters are all happy, so I suppose we should be happy, too, although it does not seem [...]

What the Fractale? WHAT THE FRACTALE? Wow, that was horribly botched. This is one of the moments where I wish I had Aroduc’s gift of gab because I have no words to describe how bad it is. It’s just sheer nonsensical. First, there was rabid infodump about how they got the ages of the Phyrne’s [...]

A bit rushed and a tad over-dramatic for my tastes, but at least everything was resolved. First of all, Phrynne’s father: I could just never take him seriously. He looks like a complete idiot and is totally incompetent. Taunting Clain as a … Continue reading →

Episode 11 – Paradise – 楽園 (Rakuen) In the end, Fractale finished off while still leaving a bunch of questions unanswered, and not to mention, this episode felt rather awkward as a finale. I get the feeling that the creators for the anime counterpart had no idea where they really wanted to go with things [...]

Fractale has certainly been many things during its broadcast run, but one thing is hasn't particularly succeeded at being is consistently good. But, here we are at the show's finale nonetheless, and the chance to imbue some real meaning on a series that seems to bear all of the hallmarks of having lost its way.
To be honest, the opening to this eleventh instalment couldn't be much clumsier,

Noitamina is an excellent time-slot that is about to enter its seventh year now. Throughout all the series that it showed, I can only name two series that I really consider to be worse than Fractale: Library Wars and Jyu Oh Sei. Fractale is an enjoyable adventure-series. But it SO has no idea what it’s [...]

Story Fractale starts off with a grand setting of a world made peaceful by a Fractale system that tends to their every need. The scenes of the countryside are beautiful and really lend a wonderful air to the show. Unfortunately, once the real story finally kicks into gear, it’s a bit of a mess. Very [...]

Summary: Barrot drops a half-hearted info dump where apparently the scientists who created the Fractale System split God into body and spirit, but 700 years later the key didn’t fit the hole. There were a ton of reboot failures since the 10-year old body never accepted the 10-year old spirit; I guess this is what [...]

Episode: Fractale Episode 11
Just… what the hell was it that this episode was trying to do? With most rushed endings, you can at least see the creators’ intentions. There are at least some parts that work well. This final episode of Fractale, though… it felt like ten different people were put in charge and they all had different [...]

Episode: Fractale Episode 11
I’m really torn about whether if I think Fractale is a good anime. Like, the two last episodes are pretty epic, but not to the point of legendary. I mean, sure, shit went down, and was fairly action-packed compared to earlier episodes, but some of the plot devices feel…recycled. Anyways, I’m curious as to how [...]

In which Sunda punches the hell out of everyone for dramatic effect Sorry for being a bit tardy on this one. It’s not like I wasn’t writing up blog posts, I just saved Fractale for last because I haven’t been particularly thrilled with the show recently. Maybe I’m just cynical now that there’s no weekly [...]

Phryne tries to negotiate as Clain and Nessa arrive at the Temple.
Impressions:
Well I’ll say that Phryne really has helped make this situation a disaster. One can argue that it’s helping to push the series towards a conclusion, but I still think that she messed up badly. I mean her whole plan was to try and [...]
