Fractale

What a reaction!


Fractale
11 episodes
Winter 2010
Genre: sci-fi, adventure, fantasy

The review:

The plot
I think that this anime had the most solid plot out of all the series that I watched in the winter 2010 season, just saying. So the plot was that in futuristic world there is a Fractale System which you learn about through watching the anime, not going to spoil this for you. So basically it starts out with our main character Clain finding a girl, Phryne, after she was being chased by an airship. Stuff happens and plot advances, I'm not going to spoil it for you here because the plot is somewhat twisty around the beginning and I think the best part is discovering what's going on.
But let me say this, adventures happen and the secrets of this Fractale System are discovered.

Opinions
In my opinion this anime is great because it's funny, cute, interesting, and deep. The plot flows nicely and the characters are very well developed. The art style is nice and I liked it personally, I'd describe it as sort of mellow.

The ending
I'm not going to say too much about the ending this time, because I know some people who haven't watched it will still read this section regardless of obvious spoilers. What I will say about the ending is that it was... a lot of things.
To start with the ending of the plot in general worked very nicely and came together to a crescendo but also left me with some rage, nice depressed rage. Now the very ending was, I don't know. I can't make up my mind whether I liked it or not because it was nice, but gah! All in all the ending was once again somewhat stupid in relation to the rest of the series though, I don't know what was up with winter 2010 but so many bad endings.

Score: 9/10
I really enjoyed this anime but I think it's the kind of thing you either enjoy or don't, either way give it a shot and see if you like it or not. I really enjoyed watching the plot flatten out during this anime.

  7. @Leestander, no sex in this one, but check out Yosuga no Sora if you want some "normal" sex without it being porn at all.

  8. I know what you mean about the ending. I didn't like it when I first watched it, but I'm starting to think that it'd make a lot more sense if I rewatched the series knowing how it ends. Not that I can see myself doing that any time soon with my backlog.

  18. How do they come up with such imaginative plots? It´s amazing the number of animes I´ve seen,most of them with a completely different story...
