| So Fractale = Shitty version of the Matrix. And Clain = Pussy version of Neo. |
| Ok, now that was what I was expecting from this show! |
 |
| woo. phryne is involved in brain washing. never thought her sister is the one controlling those star machines but phryne sad face in the end and why she stole that key and ran away. maybe she's against all these things? |
 |
| Fractale just reminded me why I generally wait until about episode 3 to give a rating to any anime. I don't usually say this but I can't really sum up my feelings towards this episode except with the phrase, "Shit just got real." I hope Fractale keeps this stuff up! |
| Ok, such a drastic change in the plot and in the atmosphere I was shocked. But it was a great plot twist and now I like this show more and more. CRAZEH247 said: I think there's no need to construe it so seriously it's just simply Engrish. They pronounce english words in another way so even if they say "Fractal" it's Fractale.This episode was awesome... but something is still bothereing me... is it... the "Fractal" system or the "Fractale" system? The voice actors call it "Fractal(Furakutaru)"... which is a word, whilst Fractale as far as i know isn't a word... and In Japanese in the OP sequence it says in Katakana "Furakutaru" NOT "Furakuteru" Which makes me think what is the name really? Or are UTW Subbing it wrong? Or the anime is called Fractale but the system described for plot in the anime is called Fractal? So which one is it? |
 |
| blood and death are not what i expected in eps 1, Phryne fell into the cliff also did not die... anyway this eps did make me like the show more |
sayami said: Yeah but Fractal is an actual word whilst Fractale isn't And also... what i think is... that the ANIME NAME is "Fractale" whilst in the plot of the anime, the system's name is "Fractal" which to me makes much more sense. |
| Wow! This episode was pretty interessing. The ep 1 was normal. Not so good. But ep 2 and this was really really awesome. And Phryne was appaer again. She is Nessa's sister? 0.0 I want know more about them. I wait for the next episode! *.* |

CRAZEH247 said: Well, yeah, you have a point there. Though I still think it's just a fabricated word which is not seriously mean anything to the plot line just a name for that system. Even if it has a meaning or not I doubt the real word "Fractal" has anything to do with the whole story. Maybe it was choosen because it sounded somewhat scientific and matched the atmosphere.sayami said: Yeah but Fractal is an actual word whilst Fractale isn't And also... what i think is... that the ANIME NAME is "Fractale" whilst in the plot of the anime, the system's name is "Fractal" which to me makes much more sense. I even doubt that they did pay attention to the difference between the two word, when they created the story. |
|
| Absolutely love it so far. The setting, the artwork, the characters, and the animation are fantastic. Hard to choose between this and Gosick as a Winter favorite. |
| There was... blood. NOOO BUTCHER! Amazing episode. They made exposing the system actually exciting, and the first half was really funny at times. (i was laughing so hard when they were spying on them dancing) |
| wow this is great, and yea i think nessa is her doppel but nessa has a personality and it seems like her sister is a brainwashed tool or something. phyrne looked kind of disgusted by her |

| This is pretty much what I was hoping this anime would turn out to be. Not disappointed. 5/5 |
 |
| Whoa. Did not expect that. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| What. The last few minutes of this episode took me completely by surprise. |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| Really enjoyed this episode. Wasn't expecting that shootout to occur but, goddamn, it was awesome. |
 |
| Wow, awesome episode. Loved the carefree ness at the beginning, but the end was just WOW. Really didn't expect everyone to start dying Nessa is awesome. Seriously. Except she's actually a clone of an actual priestess ... who is Phryne's sister?! O_O Wow, that kind of sucks lol >_< Anyways, the whole brainwashing thing really is kind of like society anyways. Freedom and all that? Yea, pretty deep :P |
| I'm glad this episode clarifies some points I had; Nessa being confirmed as a doppel and why those people are after Clain and Nessa. Good timing too because I was thinking of dropping this if it doesn't pick up the pace soon. |
| Woah, didn't think that people would actually die... Great episode and I can't wait for more! >.< |
 |
| Man this is really gettin' good. Probably the best show this season so far. |
     |
| Wow. Just wow. What just happened? That... was... awesome! Now -this- is how I thought Fractale was going to be! I mean, I did like the first couple episodes, yeah, but it was so serene and peaceful with all the flowers, fields, and pretty girls with bubbly personalities. Not that it wasn't before, but this show just became a season favorite. Damn, I really want to see what happens next! And I do like Enri & co. a lot more now. And that Butcher guy - he got shot? Did he die? Jeez, in the last episode discussion thread when I said they could disappear anytime I didn't think it would actually happen. I kind of feel bad now. :( |
    |
| Shit just got real. |
 |
| Nice. I didn't expect it to take a darker turn, but it's certainly is interesting. Those 'religious' women make me facepalm. I mean, seriously, they know it's not really stars whose powers they're relying on, yet they can play along with such a straight face as they chant to the 'stars' to mete out judgment. Meh, I guess it's art imitating life, huh? |
STM said: Shit just got real. Took the words right outta my mouth. Nessa clones? Now i'm confused. |
CookieMonstah said: Not clones. Doppels. The carefree Nessa we know is a doppel. The hooded girl they showed at the end of this episode was the real Nessa, whom Nessa the doppel is fashioned after. And apparently Nessa is Phryne's sister.Nessa clones? Now i'm confused. |
|
| shit got real |
 |
| great animation AND great story (so far). i'm looking forward to the next episodes! :D wasn't expecting nessa to be a real person. i thought she just had some kind of data in her or something. then it turns out she's the doppel of phryne's sister! i wonder why phryne left that doppel in clain's care.... anyway, great episode! ;D |
| Despite the team being epic-drama whores trying to get news coverage every week the show itself is STILL good. also takatakatakataka |
  |
| "They're really getting it on." "He's pretty good." Omg I LOL'D so much at this part!!! XD XD XD |
| wow that was unexpected. |
  |
| That was hardcore i never expected the show to take such a big turn. I thought Enri and the suits were just funny but no they just straight start killin people this show i always thought was weird but damn it got crazy at the end people dying brain control i mean **** |
| Didn't expect the scenes at the end to happen. :O |
 |
STM said: Shit just got real. +1 |
  |
| This episode has completely taken me in. Up to last ep, I was quite indifferent to fractale. I've thought that fractale system is a kind of utopia in a way that it greatly reduces humans' efforts and facilitates their doings. But it seems not that so. Shit really just got real. |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
Aversa said: DL21 said: I agree each episode we learn something new about there world which is a very interesting world.This anime is becoming more and more interesting~ This episode really showed the bad side of technology and the totalitarian society it might create, it clearly shows how some people might use technology to there own advantage. It also shows that there always people who are willing to think different and object to such a society even if it will bring confusion to people who did accept such a society. As seen from Caine's reaction who clearly was confused about it and seemed to have problems accepting it. Thinks ain't much different today. Most people take societies way of working as "reality" and any rejection of it makes you an outcast, a terrorist, a conspiracy theorist, a loony, or whatever they will call you to diminish your existence. Most of this kind of shows try to send a message about our current world threw a fantasy story. In the same way Matrix wasn't really about a machine ruled future. Anyway i loved the episode and am happy seeing things getting more exciting. The attack really needed better strategy though. They obviously suck at military tactics. |
| What the-. I jawdropped when the ep got bloody violent!! So the hostage Nessa is the real Nessa's doppel and she's the sister of Phryne. Things are getting more interesting!! |
| I was somewhat both excited and disturbed at how the old ladies were being shot at. I still don't fully understand what the hell this anime is about yet I love watching it! >.< |
Football said: Me at the beginning of Episode 3 - "Aww man Fractale is such a whimsical adorable calming show." Me at the ending of Episode 3 - "Did those grannies just get mowed down in a hail of semi-automatic gunfire?" No need for any other comments. |
 |
| Am I the only one who cares that Butcher died ? D: But yeah, it totally changed... Speeding it up (: |
 |
| This doesn't even look like the same show (it's better for me now) |
 |
| This is the only show this season I am really liking. |
| with this episode..one can realize the message behind creating this wonderful anime.. I mean, those persons who kidnapped clain and nessa were true right? technology has its own disadvantages too :) |
 |
| There were some funny parts. Anyway looks like Nessa is Phyrne's sister. |
