| Am I the only one who thinks this show is terrible? :I |
| Ah, I'm loving this - it has such a nostalgic Ghibli-esque feeling. Actually it feels like a mixture of Nausicaä, Nadia and - strangely - a bit of Grandia, the RPG classic. The animation is far above standard, I'm sad it's not getting more recognition for simply how *much* is really animated instead of using cop-out methods. Soundtrack is suiting and well-orchestrated, bringing out the movie-like feeling so many mentioned. Most of all - while I admit the pacing of the story is a tad bit slow in this episode, the story itself has loads of potential for a truly epic adventure. I just hope Nessa and Klain get moving soon to find Phryne. As it is now, it seems set to be a tale of human interaction, communication and what defines humanity. At least that's my early forecast. |
| I only have one word to describe this episode, ''beautiful''. For those who aren't enjoying the pace at which this anime is going, I would like you to think about the consequences of it going by at the rate of most modern day anime. That being either way too fast, fast to the point where everything is sloppy, or just so fast you don't get the privilege of enjoying what's right in front of you. So the pace, to me, is perfect. I'd rather have it slow and information, then to have it fast and unethical. Either way, I'm enjoying every second of this anime as it actually ''has'' a story, so far. I still don't understand everything that might be going on, but I look forward to these questions being answered later. Looking forward to the next! |
| Nessa is just too cute. |

| If there is one thing to say about this series is its wonderful world immersion. Animes that generally immerse you in their universes are very good. The environment is spectacular and the OP is amazing. It makes me think of long journey to take around the world. No matter how I look at this anime I was so longing for something that reminded of "Nadia and The Secret Of Blue Water" Glad to have found and like many other people said already Nessa is adorable from every angle in the spoiler As the actual episode itself, I rather dumbfounded at the appearance of the Priestess and her role. One thing for sure she mentions that Phryne stole something like the key to the world. That is rather interesting already. There were some rather interesting world aspects such as this guy's system to listen to music but I wonder why it went haywire when Clain touched the monitor? A rather strange little doppel but it was heartwarming to see Nessa laughing over it. Nessa's powers are mysterious, whenever she touches something it either activates itself or things go wild like with the sun parasols. Poor Clain to have his bike in pieces, was a while since I saw that IRL. Enri and her henchmen literally is what reminds me so much of Nadia. Of all things their motive for revenge was funny. The main boss does remind of someone but not sure who from other animes. What is rather interesting is that humanity in this world considers doppels as robots on who to dump the human's workload. From the looks of this it seems Nessa might be one of the new doppels you can touch, which apparently is sold as a sex slave (would it wonderful to have the same thing IRL, ah the many possibilities of loli taboos and anime characters coming as a real person to you). Another interesting thing is this, which suggests freedom comes at mutual deep understanding between each other. A rather interesting philosophy that if applied now would solve lots of misunderstandings and wars. Furthermore I find it this baffling, that there is no trust upon people to live together as a sign itself or mistrust. Really confuses me philosophically but that's what technology in the future of a perfect Utopia (as Wasabi mentioned) may lead to. Internet is the sole proof that something like this is already happening. Anyways best series since a long time of this kind. I will preauthorize seeing it quicker now. I really enjoyed this episode more than the first one. |
Anisamar said: I found it kind of boring, I wanted a little more that hinted at the plot, I still don’t see what the whole point is. Enri and her goons annoy me, really. They are hilarious -- true fools of comedy. Love love love this series so far! Very excited to see what develops in this world. |
| I am kinda impressed by the art and how the story is procceding, also Nessa is such a cute and outgoing Character and makes me wonder sometimes |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| It still has this Ghibli-esque, movie-like feel to it. The pacing, while a bit slow, seems perfectly suited for this work. But at the same time, this makes the end of the episode feel abrupt and premature. Provided Fractale ends up being something worthwhile to rewatch, I'd love to marathon it - or at least watch it in big chunks. |

ArcticMech said: I suggest then getting only BDs or DVDs of it if they are available. I had extreme positive experiences with BD re-watches. Not to mention quality being amazing in those but also in some series uncensorings were good. This anime will prove good to re-watch to see it in better details at the very least IMO.Provided Fractale ends up being something worthwhile to rewatch, I'd love to marathon it - or at least watch it in big chunks. |

| That was a nice typical boy hates girl/no he doesn't plot. These 3 comic reliefs though, I don't know what to make of them. |
| My anime list |
| I'm really liking this show and I love Nessa, she's a bit crazy but she's cute and funny. This show definitely has a Miyazaki feel to it. |
| Nessa is so cute ^________^ I really like this anime :) |
   |
| I like the show so far, but the opening has to be the worst that I have ever seen, hands down! |
| beautiful.... enchanting. This is so much different than the other shows this season. The animation is awesome & I think it got even more gorgeous this episode. I can see this being a standout for me. |
  |
| Surprise, surprise. I never really like the Nessa-type characters: supposed to be loveably innocent, but wind up annoyingly hyperactive. And yet somehow I did like her from the first moments. I think mainly because of hery seiyuu - it's not the usual moemoe squeaky blabber. It's a perfect mix of cute and pleasant to the ear. Well, I just thought I'd say that. I always find voices a huge factor when it comes to me liking particular characters, as I do in real life, to be honest :P |

| I'm just gonna put this here |

| Nice episode but I still don't understand a lot of things |
 |
| Lol they fell into the trap. |
| Hm, hope it picks up a bit more. |
| This anime is good although I have yet to see the part where some people said the show went downhill. |

| I WANT TO PAT NESSA ON THE HEAD Clain is annoying as fuck on the real tho. |
 |
| Lovely, so much full body animation, it's impressive, just like Kannagi was. Sadly it will get disappointing at some point. |
 |
| Nessa sure is an interesting character I quite love her joyful personality! Well they've been captured so let's see what will happen to them next! |
 |
| The parents freak me out too lol. I really like Nessa, she's so adorable and sweet! Too bad she got them kidnapped. Awww, I hope the show doesn't go bad ;_____________; |
 |
| Odd Nessa. But she's cute with cute sounds too. How can i mad about her odd behaviour? The concept of home. Different from Clein, Nessa define it with a simple fun. While Clein finally found out whats true behind the meaning of home, Nessa return. Looks like i got it wrong with the Doppels system. Its even become touched if you transfer your data to it. Might be related to how Clein feels like the need of her more than his parents Doppels. Most people couldn't afford it cause its cost some good money. Possibly those big brother try to kidnapped the priest girl to got doppel that can be touched in free. So, that's actually pretty dangerous for Nessa. But, she just led them into the trap, smh. That's the new beginning of Clein lifes. Out of Fractale simplified system. Out of his comfort zone. Out of his parents Doppels. Out of his loneliness. Next. |
