| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was an interesting episode. Clain and Nessa were kidnapped by a terrorist group calling themselves "Lost Millennium". They really only wanted Nessa because they think she might have some sort of special data hidden in her which they can use against Fractale. You could probably compare them to the Naturalists from Gundam Seed. They go to raid a "Festival" which is actually a brainwashing "Update" for the nanomachines. Phryne makes an appearance to stop the raid. It seems as though Nessa is a Dopple of Phryne's sister. |

     |

 |
| waaah! I wasn't expecting this at all!! omg, I want to next episode already!!! |
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. I got a better impression of that blond girl after this episode see is smarter then she first was portrait to be. And it was funny to see her stalked by Nessa who seems to like her allot. I wonder how Caine will respond after this event seeing he was even trowing up from shock. Phryne showing up at the last moment came as a surprise and i am really looking forward to what the next episode will bring. |
| yeah , i hoped there would be a place where there is no Doppel [or droppel "whatever] Brainwashing people to make them lazy xD Well looking forward to episode 4 [BTW this season there is a lot of cute animes but they are Bloody like those Magica girls , and Gosick and this & zombie desuka is just GORE] |
 |
| That really did get much better this episode. I loved the previous episodes, they had a nice feel to them, but with this episode, it just got even better! |
| Bloody good for fractle totally made it a more realistic feeling GReat episode, Looks like the real nessa made the dopel nessa this has gotten even Way Better ;D |
 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. |

| That went from quite light hearted to bloody very quick. |
 |
| 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?" |
 |
| i'm starting to like this show .....great eps ^^ |
 |
| This was just awesome! Is Nessa a doppel of Phryne's sister? |
| Wow this was different, I didn't expect it to get that violent and they didn't hold back much either. I'm kinda wondering about the magic stuff though, Is it technology or religious power? |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
| Big change from the last episode. This is starting to look pretty good. |
 |
| holy shit man...wtf was that. this just keep getting interesting. |
| Wow, this is show is getting pretty good. |
 |
| What the hell just happened?! The tone completely changed there at the end to say the least. A rather enjoyable show is now also much more interesting. So far, so good - hope it stays that way. |

 |
| That was pretty cool. |
 |
| This episode got really interesting, and I'm just really curious how the story's unfolding out in the future. |
 |
| Definitely a sudden and unexpected change of pace with the violence and revelation of Phryne's sister. Am I the only one who just about died laughing from the "dirty" dancing scene? |

| Sheet just got real. Well, that certainly was surprising. As if the Madoka Magica fiasco wasn't enough, now it's Fractale's turn to take a sudden dive into the murky depths of -HOLY CRAP DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?!-, and what a glorious, glorious dive it was. I didn't think this show could do anything that could change itself so drastically... I'm impressed. Damn do I look forward to how it turns out. I wonder if anyone noticed that Madoka's little 'incident' also happened in its third airing episode. Coincidence? I. THINK. NOT. |

| Hah I knew the Fractale system was some kind of controlling mechanism. Didn't expect shit to go down like that though. Fractale just became even more awesome. |
 |
| Amazing. Gosh. Guys, let's throw a Angel Beats episode discussion here. Every thread we just go: Shit just got real'er. |

KillerYandere said: Still the best anime of the season. Visually and creatively. That's my opinion as well :D The episode was simple, doesn't tires you like other animes and still refers to a lot. Now that Phryne reappeared, more the reasons to call it more interesting, plus a human(?) Nessa as her sister :D Can't wait for the next episode. |
| First Madoka, and now Fractale comes with an unexpected twist o__o As quite a few other people just posted: Shit Just Got Real. |
| I'm kinda going meh on this episode, even though a lot happened... or something like that. Maybe I'm just bleh right now. |

| This episode was all fun and discovery until the end. Holy shit O_O WTF it was. Although I was not surprised as typical terrorist groups may be to use violence but these were humans although they were injected nano machines, still makes them human as long as I see blood gushing out. Anyways Nessa was still the best with all her expressions in the spoiler As for the details, I found the city at the beginning rather refreshing and nicely done. The little kid with Enri and from the looks of those villagers putting those glasses, it looks to me like you need special equipment to see the doppels. The following scenery totally reminded me of Shangri-La due to how it was shown. Anyone else? Guess when Sunda touched Nessa, his hand passing through her, I wonder why? The classes where the students take their classes reminded of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu's class F judging from the poor condition. I also found it fascinating in this world's setup at how the farming is done on building roofs. Rather interesting. Sunda had a freash set of expressions in which one of them he is rather sure of himself. Very cool system of telling you eating/health habits through urine analyzing in the bath, which makes go to saying how Enri's panties are so pink and feminine of her character as well as her blushing. Found it funny that Enri got so annoyed by Nessa's invasion that of all things she threw the damn screen in the toilet. Must have had some crazy flushing power to flush that. Going back to the city I can see what people are talking about not conforming to the societies' advances. The conventional hospitals that Clain encounters with conventional beds is quite interesting to the opposition of neo technology conformity. Another interesting thing towards that is that the parties are rather medieval style as are the clothings themselves. Miscellaneous details going into this paragraph, found it hilarious one of Enri's henchman encouraging Clain into ecchi with Nessa not that I would mind but you all do realize how much loli it would be to have those doppels and what might we do with them. It could mean the end of murder and all kinds of sexual crimes permanently. Clain is hilarious in some situation and those are where he shines mostly with his expressions like that strange dancing with Nessa as well as the way he slept with Nessa on the same bed as him. BTW is that a bullet proof jacket of some kind that Clain gets? Now it brings me to how nice the flying ship was such as the curiosity of how does it propelled exactly? Certainly its weapon systems are quite interesting also to me. Finally the end was crazy. At first I wonder what exactly is that thing and why is it shaped like that? Quite confused about it.As well as WTF at those 3 stars suddenly shining bright. Guess my eyes did not play trick on me granny gets really shot and is human, that's not even the end of it a normal bystander gets a portion of its body blown away by one of the blasts of that staff which suggests to me that they are rather dangerous batshit, another granny getting shot more clearly with blood splatter? Guess no more mind games, people are fucking getting shot and they are real because of the red blood splatter and as if it was not enough one of Enri's henchman has a shot from the staff pierce him from one end through all his body. Shit got real Guess the hooded figure really is just another doppel that looks like Nessa except this one wear jewelry similar to that of Phryne. Phryne showing up at the end was the holy grace that got me excited for next episode. Rather incredible episode better than before. |

| Dammit, why did they have to use violence? I was ready to drop this thing, but now I just forced to continue watching in hope to see more guro...kuso. |
| Wow, talk about a change of pace. It's good though, just what the show needed. I was just thinking about how the show didn't seem as exciting as it initially was, but then that ending came. |
| Wow didn't expect all the violence sense everything had a happy go lucky feel. The best part of the episode was one those two annoying guys in black and shades. They shot the fat one and that made me happy. : ) |
 |
| Holy cock, there's gunfire suddenly! |
| So much for thinking Lost Millenium were just a bunch of geeks, meant for comedy relief. But it makes for a great set-up for Claine. He's not a big fan of doppels, regularly turning them off, and he loves old things. Seeing that brainwash-session surely will turn him off even more. On the other hand, seeing the rebels use such violence, using humans as shield won't tempt him much either. So he really has to start thinking for himself. Yumekichi11 said: The following scenery totally reminded me of Shangri-La due to how it was shown. Anyone else? Now that you mention it, yeah it does :D Yumekichi11 said: Guess whenSunda touched Nessa, his hand passing through her, I wonder why? That was interesting. Nessa said that people who really hate her, can't touch her. Quite ingenious engineering, as people who hate probably want to hurt her, so making them unable to touch her is very clever. It also raises the question why Sunda (and probably also that old man) has so much hate for doppels, while many other villagers are able to touch Nessa. Yumekichi11 said: Guess the hooded figure really is just another doppel that looks like Nessa except this one wear jewelry similar to that of Phryne. Or she's the real Nessa? After all, doppels are based upon humans. Real-Nessa might be a true believer of the Fractale system, while Phryne wants to obstruct it - stealing the key, hiding it in doppel-Nessa and leave her with Claine. |

| I like the setup here with the outsiders who didn't want to be controlled by the system fighting back. Left on a good cliffhanger too. |
Yumekichi11 said: Guess whenSunda touched Nessa, his hand passing through her, I wonder why? cleo said: Looks to me like a safety mechanism more than anything, what's genious about is that it takes human though and emotions into process to confirm if it should activate.That was interesting.

Quite ingenious engineering, as people who hate probably want to hurt her, so making them unable to touch her is very clever. cleo said: Probably bad past experience or refusal to trust such thing. The same thing will probably happen with clones should it ever happen that we have them at our disposal.It also raises the question why Sunda (and probably also that old man) has so much hate for doppels, while many other villagers are able to touch Nessa. Yumekichi11 said: Guess the hooded figure really is just another doppel that looks like Nessa except this one wear jewelry similar to that of Phryne. cleo said: Could very well be. If so then I would like a explanation for doppel Nessa other than a data safe.Or she's the real Nessa? After all, doppels are based upon humans. cleo said: Agreed, Phryne knows the negative effects of that system so changing it is normal but the opposition is what I am seeing as being the problem from the looks of how things got ugly at the end of this episode.Real-Nessa might be a true believer of the Fractale system, while Phryne wants to obstruct it - stealing the key, hiding it in doppel-Nessa and leave her with Clain. |
