| This episode caught me off guard Beginning was like :) then it was like (0_0) |
| Huuuge atmosphere change .... in a good way ... still ... i think i'd prefer being brainwashed to not give a damn about anything ... <3. |
Yumekichi11 said: 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. Same here. My guess for now is that it has to do with human-Nessa(?) being a priestress (so she can't be with her family), but we'll have to wait and see. I also want more explanation on how LM have so much knowledge. alwaysbored said: still ... i think i'd prefer being brainwashed to not give a damn about anything ... <3. But that brainwashing is stopping people from caring about humanity. It stops people from wondering whether a world without normal human interaction is ok. In that respect I agree with LM's ideology. But their methods... |

| Wow that was awesome! Didn't expect that. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| Well we took a left turn in the last 5 minutes didn't we. Lost Millennium didn't seem that trustworthy but I guess they were right. Did they really kill one of the comic reliefs? |
| My anime list |
| oh wow their is blood on this anime XD |
| Wow, I certainly didn't expect Fractale to turn this way; that was one hell of an abrupt mood change. And I liked it. Slice-of-life Fractale was boring me. This is beginning to become interesting, that plot twist was just what it needed. I’m all for this kind of approach from now on. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Finally we get to see some direction this is going. If they keep that up, this series could turn out great. They went a bit overboard with the violence though, didn't fit so well with the childish characters. And Hanazawa Kana does a great job with Nessa's voice. Reminds me of Yui at times. |
| well i wasnt expecting this :) lets hope the series keeps on going in the way it is |
| Definitely enjoyed this episode the most until yet! It was a nice change of pace and I'm hoping they'll keep it that interesting! |
| That was great episode! The last few minutes were really shocking. I totally didn't expect to see blood in Fractale. Can't wait for next episode. |
| One has to ask the question - just where did the rebels get their assault rifles and ammo? They didn't just grow them in their kitchen gardens. And assuming that the data dump that we got was correct and the Fractal system has been in place for a thousand years, just how would the weapons still work, let alone all of the "ancient technology" in Granites Villiage? So far the story has been trying too hard to be pseudo-Ghibli and is skimping way too much on self-consistancy. Right now I'm betting that this will be more of a remake of "Zardoz" than "Nausicaa"... the signs are all saying, "Take an extra dose of Suspension of Disbelief booster"... |
Football said: Me at the beginning of Episode 3 - "Aww man Fractale is such a whimsical adorable calming show." I had that every time I watched Fractale.. even saying it had a sort of CLANNAD feeling (Calm, drama etc.) But then... Me at the ending of Episode 3 - "Did those grannies just get mowed down in a hail of semi-automatic gunfire?" Thate came up :'3. Quiet Waters have Deep Grounds - a Dutch saying. (Stille wateren hebben diepe gronden) Meaning: What you see at the outside doesn't say anything of the inside. |
 |
| That was a drastic change from the regular flow of the show so far. I was really shock when i saw them shot down the old lady(priest) and then Butcher was killed and i was like \( ´ Д｀)/ I like the animations of people dying (ya i just said that). They did way more than random beams of light hitting people, and people falling to the ground. It was just the right amount of details needed to create an impact. Amazing Episode overall |
| huh? |
| I was just thinking that this show had some cross-demographic appeal to both kids and adults, albeit for the completely inappropriate naughty jokes...until the last five minutes. Well, goodbye beautiful and charming show, hello grannies getting blasted into smithereens. |
| Daha, dancing the flavor was funny, and the comments of those outside watching too :') |
 |
| Shit just got real in Fractale. Between this and Madoka, the shit:real ratio is skyrocketing. |
| Shit just got real. Totally wasn't expecting this. |
| When I first started watching this I figured it was just going to be some boring repetitive comedy bs show. This was ... different. |
| The hypnotising thing i already predicted from the first episode... when he looked at the light and stuff... so it wasn't shocking or anything... The amount of deaths... were quite shocking. 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? |
| I was not expecting to see a massacre at the end of this show! Did I really just witness old ladies getting mowed down in a hail of gunfire? Enri makes me sick!! Nessa is just adorable!! |
 |
| Great episode! Especially when compared to the first two. For me, the show finally got interesting and now I can't wait for next week. [= |
| So far, Fractale felt like X'amd + Dennou Coil on a steroid in many ways. Anyway, great episode and I really loved it. |
 |
| Wow what an episode, some questions were answered and I honestly didn't expect to see scenes of extreme violence in this anime, I mean old ladys getting shot and giant holes in people O_o!!! Really good episode though and a really good anime. |
 |
| Yes, FINALLY some blood AND decent SF plot. We need more series of Black Lagoon caliber. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Shit got real; this and Madoka is getting serious... |

The name of the anime is Fractale, as that's the adress of the official site: http://fractale-anime.com/ But I also got the impression that the system is called Fractal and not Fractale. |
|
| 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?

 |
| 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. |
