Fractale – 11 (Finale)

The eleventh episode of Fractale concluded its story leaving virtually everything unexplained and unexplored, leaving us to wonder what went wrong.  It seems many fans have had some beef with the series, whether it’s the lackluster story, the unexplained Fractale system, or the fact the entire series seemed rushed.  Those seemed to have been covered in the more attentive and helpful blogs out there, so I’ll just focus on my biggest problem with the entire series: the setting.

If Fractale were a horror anime, then Nessa would’ve been a perfect monster.  She just randomly appears, wrecks havoc and destroys electrical systems, not to mention that she’s invisible to most and can hide herself from others when she wants to.  And when she’s angry, you better watch out.

This.

This is what I’ve been waiting for in Fractale.  The futuristic city full of hedonistic and artificial entites.  The stimulating lights and inviting noises attracting lifeless bodies.  A seemingly limitless world where one can freely pursue, nay, fulfill any goal, any desire, any dream.  And yet all of that is simply data.  Data which is not real and yet, it is their life.

Ah, I’ve been waiting for this.  The people, the settings, the exploration, and the understanding.  This is Fractale.

Originally, I thought the Church was the organization behind the Fractale system, running it to remain the influential and dominate force in this ultramodern dystopia.  After all, it is the Church which stressed compliance with the system with their timely ‘prayers’ and divine ‘festivals’.  But it seems the Church is powerless to prevent the eventual collapse of the Fractale system.  So what is the relationship between the Church and the Fractale system?

Are doppels just data or are they something more?
