My high hopes for this show were in vein. The development in the story can't be squeezed into 11 episodes. The concept was nice but the elaboration was truly appalling, nothing gets explained decently in this show, for example Enri destroys a whole town and that"s it, not why, not how, even the characters don't ask these question...

A missed opportunity !

^This last picture, the shot was really short, so i never got a good look at Nessa but she is TOO cute snuggled up to Clain like that. Now if only Phryne acted like that...

Yeah that's the bitch with some animes and episodes, they just pass by too fast so I have fun watching it by frames and so result the screenshot. Nessa is really great and I am sure as she discovers love between Phryne and Clain, well it would certainly be nice for her not too take it negatively and I am sure she will not. Just I am curious how will Nessa react to kiss?

I dont know how she would react. Nessa is still quite a mystery, that she is tangible but can still act like a computer program, disappearing and showing up in bathroom networks like she does. I honestly dont know if she knows what a kiss is or HOW she should react. she seems perfectly content between snuggling with clain and dragging him everywhere, and playing/ (reconciling?) with Phryne.

Why Phryne must be so stubborn? >.> Anyway, it makes me feel like someone is going to die (most probably Nessa). I would prefer everyone alive, though.

I´m quite sure Phryne will die to make place for Enri in Clain´s life. And the destruction of the Fractale System will cause Nessa to fade away, too. I would prefer a solution which is not sad like that, too, but they need to resolve the harem situation...

I dont think Enri x clain will ever happen though. its only 2 episodes left and she and him havent even talked about that. remember that shot where she was outside the room where clain phryne and nessa were talking about them being a family? she looked like she would leave it at that. smiling like she was.

Clain x Nessa, well shes a computer program. i dont know how possible that is. even if Clain OD'd on those pills that busty doppel was talking about when they were in that flashy city that make you feel the doppel (sounds like they are mostly used for sex), it just wouldnt work. Nessa is a special doppel, though. isnt she like the soul of Phryne? so even nessa is pointing to....

Clain x Phryne. But knowing this show, theyd probably kill her off in the end. remember her wish to the day star was that Clain's smile would last forever. does that sound like sad sad ending material to anyone else? If only clain would CONFESS PROPERLY after STRAPPING HER TO A CHAIR to keep her from running away, there could be hope for these two.. again assuming that this wont end sad.

So big war on the way. I didn't get what where those numbers the priest was saying. So the Phyrne we know is a clone too. So is the priestess? Was there some other Phyrne long long ago?

Yeah, Phyrne explained they were all clones of an earlier "God", who had Nessa as a doppel. The arch-priestess has the same color hair and eyes Phryne and Nessa do in the manga, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume that she's another clone too (and not much of a stretch either to say that whoever did the palette-swap on Nessa and Phryne had no clue where the plot was going).

Does anyone else feel that this series should've been a 20+ episode continuation?

Might just be me, but I think this series would do better with a spin-off with a new director and writer in charge. This series had some good ideas going for it, but it bit off more than it could chew, and the execution has made it into a really average series (imo, anyway; this could change is the finale's any good).

Pretty good episode.

Enri was proper annoying till the last episode... but I think this far into Fractale, I've just grown into liking Enri as another character.

And why does Phryne have to do these stupid things... stupid girl.

The ED was in Ingurish this time eh... nice. But I wanna know the name and singer of that "Hiru no Hoshi ni..." song... I WANT THAT SONG!

Good episode. Enri is growing on me :3
So, basically BOTH Phryne and Nessa are needed ... and wow, that's a whole bunch of clones, but somehow this Phryne is the right one ...? OK ... lol
Epic battle is starting! :D Go Lost Millenium! :D
Yea, Phryne sucks for leaving, but Clain also sucks for looking for her if she doesn't want to. *shrug* Nessa FTW ;P
The English in the letter was surprisingly good. Maybe they got someone who actually knows English to write it? XD
Insert song is awesome, do want! :P

Phryne you idiot, Clain had finally had enough, but he loves her, so oh well

I liked the end of the episode with just the three of them but it was a bit dull before that.

Climax should be good though.

I find it hard to "thoroughly dislike" any comic relief characters. since they arent made to be hated. Even with tsunderes in shojo, i only get irritated with them. there are various degrees of irritation of course ^^

I tend to agree, but when comic relief characters do nothing but annoy me, that theory falls flat. A girl yelling baseless accusations over and over again simply isn't my idea of fun.
It's a fine line between a running gag and dragging things out: this show did the latter.
And so my dislike of the girl only got worse. It is a gradation though.
If I truelly hated her, I'd want her dead. It's not as bad as that.

I see what you mean. the ecchi jabs at clain by Enri, and really everyone in the rebel group have gotten more frequent. Them always asking if they "did it" or not. i found that generally the idea behind ecchi in non-hentai shows, or shows where ecchi is hardly the focus, such as Fractale for example, its used to distract from the story. like if the story was bad, or in fractale's case, compressed too much with thier 11 episode limit. i may opt to follow the manga in the future. hopefully its more elaborative than the anime has been.

Damn. I was guessing most of the Lost Millennium got wipe out before Clain and his gang set off to save the world.

Now Climax begins!!!!!!
Phryne is poor foolish, her "dad" never accepts her condition...... Nessa is so kawaii, and Clain finally is GAR!!!!
Why this show isn't long?? probably it is very great if it was longer then 11 eps, like as 25-30 eps.....

next to 10th ep

Yeah, but I kinda like that type of reckless characters who want to solve things on their own (even though they usually only get the opposite result). Anyway, I was surprised to see the Grand Priestess is also a clone... And that explanation about the keys was somewhat confusing. Still liked the episode, though. Sunta was pretty cool right there.

Bitch please, the animation of this anime is great. Never dropped to as low as NHK was at its best. There is tons of full body movement that you don't see much in a lot of anime.

Phryne has left again and the attack has started so things will get quite interesting in the next coming episode!

Enri was quite cute in this episode as well, I wonder if she'll confess in the end :p

So Nessa is the spirit and Phryne the body and together they make the key, interesting.

Phryne left again! butbutbut ... awwww :(

I hope she resolves all this or at least doesn't get taken by them again.

Next episode war and saving Phryne! Should be good.

Clain confessed to liking Phryne and blonde girl nearly confessed to Clain but he thought she needed the toilet! LOLOLOLOLOL!

Alright, mostly the timeline i write before correct, but the Doppel Nessa there was actually the real represent of 'the mind' Phryne talking about toward Clein. Idk how the process happened on the past related to that, too much clone making, and the freakin father also manage to survive! Ah, maybe the previous one was actually a clone, doppel, or something. Fuck that.

Those two, Phryne, and Doppel Nessa need to reunite in order to reboot the collapsing Fractale system and regain more of the temple control toward humanity. However, as expected from our beloved mc, he won't let shit happened to her stupid waifu that never surrendered to always missing in the middle of the night. Lets go!

Lost Millenium also finally had their moves, all of their fraction, and Granitz ojou-sama almost confessed for the last time, because its looks like a farewell moment. But too bad, stupid Clein being a classic dense, while his heart already chose a clone girl and his Doppel Nessa inside, which actually become one of the dissapointment i feel toward the episode, generally this show.

Ah well, my ship won't sail. So lets see the last two episode....
