Fractale – 8

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.

Fractale – 7

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.

Fractale – 6

I think everyone was happy with Fractale 6.  Or at least a majority.  Or whatever, that was baseless, I don’t know.  I just know that I’m happy and that’s probably the first time I can say so since the second episode.

So, anyway, let’s take a step back from everything for a sec, away from the temple, Phryne’s minor revolt, and Nessa’s purpose and examine the people living in the 33^rd century.  And yes, this is what I was expecting from Fractale all along.  We finally got to explore the various forms of humanity in this strange land.

Mid-Season Review – Winter 2011

Figured with the halfway point in most shows being reached or surpassed, that I’d provide a concise review of each show I’m watching this Winter.  Their order listed below is in the order that I’d rank them now along with their numerical score (between 10-5).  I’ll also toss out my favorite character of each series, too, since that’s always fun.  Oh, and the best Art, Characters, Entertainment, Sound, and Story.  There are also some minor spoilers, so if you haven’t watched everything yet, just mind your eyes and skip those sections.

Fractale – 5

So much for all the exploration I was hoping for.

Fractale – 4

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?

Fractale – 3

Are doppels just data or are they something more?
