Fractale is an 11-episode shonen anime series directed by Yutaka Yamamoto (series production director of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and director of Kannagi) and produced by A-1 Pictures and Ordet.Revolving around a futuristic era in Ireland where the world's source of order—the "Fractale System"—has begun to fall, a fourteen-year-old boy named Clain meets the mysterious Temple priestess Phryne being pursued by chance and rescues her. He takes Phryne back to his home and tends to her injuries, but as quickly as Clain begins to bond with the girl, Phryne disappears the next day, leaving behind a brooch for Clain. A female Doppel named Nessa appears from the brooch, and Clain and Nessa both go in search of Phryne while uncovering the secret of the Fractale System.In doing so, Clain is forced into the conflict between the rebel organization Lost Millennium and the Fractale System's Temple priests and priestesses—both of whom are pursing Phryne—and it grows difficult for Clain to distinguish friend from foe.Simulcast by FUNimation in North America (and now licensed), with a brief interruption caused by a "Oreimogate" variation in which the simulcast was halted until unauthorized copies were removed from the Internet.

Offscreen Teleportation: As a Doppel, Nessa can disappear or teleport to any given place. In Episode 5, she decided to play hide-and-seek, and was even shown to teleport whenever someone found her.

Fugitive Arc: The series begins with Phryne fleeing from Enri, and the rest of Lost Millennium. But she's fleeing from The Temple, as well. Both factions are after her and Nessa for their own agendas. The Temple needs her to merge with Nessa, in order to reboot the Fractale System. For Lost Millennium, she's the key to destroying it.

comment
All Men Are Perverts: Played for laughs with Clain, who's not necessarily a pervert but ends up in situations where it would appear that he is one. Played for drama with Gail, who attempted to rape Phryne in Episode 7, and Barrot, who is far too touchy-feely with his daughter-like figure Phryne for comfort.

The whams continue in Episode 8. Barrot is revealed to be the person who raised Phryne to be the "key" and attempts to see if she's still a virgin. Clain learns that there are countless clones that resemble Nessa (but are really clones of Phryne from her childhood) sealed away because Phryne is the "key" and the useless replicas are destroyed. The Phryne clone who helps Clain rescue Phryne is nearly killed herself and points Clain and Phryne to the direction of the underground base's shelter, but the underground base explodes with Enri screaming out Clain's name.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Fractale / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Nessa gets really happy when Clain "touches" her in Episode 2. There's also this "suggestive" position between Phryne and a sleeping Clain in the manga. Phryne's relationship with Barrot has implications of rape or other abuse. Phryne claims she doesn't deserve love and constantly refers to Nessa (who resembles Phryne from her childhood) as when she was "beautiful." She comments about how Barrot has been "defiling" her and the rest of the Phryne clones over and over, and Barrot mentions that their history—or them being "bound by abundant love"—is something Clain should know about.

When Clain brings an injured Phryne to his home and gives her a first-aid kit, she immediately undresses (only revealing her under clothes) to take care of her wounds and tells him to leave. Soon after, Phryne approaches Claine topless (her long hair covering her breasts), as she can't reach the back of her shoulder to apply the medicine. Both times Phryne is stoic while Clain blushes heavily with uncertainty of what to make of the situation.

Never Trust a Promotional Ad: The artwork displayed in the promotional ads is quite different from its anime counterpart. And this magazine scan showing Phryne and Nessa smiling peacefully◊ together. They have quite a tense relationship in the anime, but they have made up in Episode 5.

Real Place Background: Taken from the west of Ireland, the show goes into some fairly obscure details, correctly belling the police as "Garda" and containing Irish in a few spots if you look. Luimnigh is the Irish Language name for Limerick City. The town in the second episode appears to be based on Galway City while some elements of Granites are clearly based on buildings in Dublin's Docklands area.

Chekhov's Gun: In Episode 6, Phryne spots several photographs in the antique collector's house and takes then. By the end of the episode, Phryne shows them to Enri and these photographs reveal to the audience that the man is Clain's father. In Episode 8, Clain bandages the injured hand of one of Phryne's clones, commenting that it'll also be easier to find her this way. Clain ends up recognizing her among the clones labeled "useless" that are going to be dissolved.

Arcadia: Lost Millennium, who have chosen to live without the Fractale System to achieve "true freedom" from the Fractale System's apparent utopia (advanced medical services, easy-going way of life, and especially brainwashing. Villagers that Phryne, Enri, and Takamii meet while looking for Clain and Nessa in Episode 7 are similar in that they live in a nomadic fashion of herding and seem to basically be Lost Millennium without their "terrorism." Subverted when it turns out the villagers really use their Doppels to work in Xanadu while they pretend to be nomads.

Gratuitous English: The ending song. Episode 5 onward averts it by having the same ending theme in Japanese (with slightly different lyrics) instead. Phryne's letter in Episode 9. Aside from grammar, she even spelled her name wrong. The song that the Temple priest/esses sing a few times, notably in episode 11.

Kick the Dog: Dias, who in Episode 6 nullifies civilians' Fractale Terminals (while masking the process as a typical vaccine for refugees) and forces them to either join his faction of L.M. or get killed; and in Episode 8 cluster bombs the Temple's underground base with Clain and Phryne still inside. In Episode 10, Dias helps Clain by helping Nessa and him reunite with Phryne, but he really planned for his underlings to kill Phryne after she is reunited with Nessa in order to destroy the body of the "key" so the Fractale System cannot be restarted. Gail's attempted rape on Phryne. Barrot forcing Phryne to let him check if she's still a virgin by threatening Clain's well-being.

Looped Lyrics/Single Stanza Song: The "day star" song. Phryne and Nessa both sing altered versions of the song at different points, Phryne towards the end of Episode 1 and Nessa sings it during Butcher's funeral in Episode 4. It remains to be seen whether these lyrics are other verses from the "day star" song or whole other songs entirely. Episode 9 finally plays a longer version of the "day star" song.

Bittersweet Ending: Phyne and Nessa become the "key," the Temple is destroyed, the clone-producing underground base is a crater and can never produce the "key" again, and Sunda is implied to have died in the final battle. After a full year, Lost Millennium lives in peace growing their crops and living their natural way while Clain stays at home watching over Phryne, who's been asleep the entire time. She finally awakens, only to have Nessa's personality mixed in with Phryne's. In spite of this, Phryne still retains her memories, as she tells Clain that she's always liked him too. Clain hugs her and cries as the series ends panning over the photo taken earlier in the series. Said photo does not portray Nessa, owing to the camera not being able to see Doppels, but can also be taken figuratively to mean Nessa doesn't really exist anymore.

Badass in Distress/Distressed Damsel: Phryne isn't necessarily a damsel in distress, but she is constantly pursued by both the Temple priests/priestesses and Lost Millennium. She is quite capable in protecting herself and fending off against her pursuers, but she gets captured by Lost Millennium in Episode 4, is nearly raped by Gail in Episode 7, and is captured by Barrot in Episode 8.

comment
Wham Shot: A slightly low-key one, but in episode 6, Clain spends time with an ailing old man who collects antiques, one of which is a camera. At the end of the episode, the man, knowing he'll likely die without the advanced technologies of Fractale, gives Clain the camera. Phyrne overlooks some of the photos the next day, and puts special attention on one. It's a picture of the man with an infant Clain; the old man was Clain's father.

Rape as Backstory
 Fractale / int_524f94d3
comment
In episode 11, it is made apparent that Barrot did... something... to Phryne, as the original Phryne's father did to her, thus ensuring that the current Phryne would "match", and could become the key. It seems that that makes Rape as Backstory true for the entire world of Fractale.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: Phryne, who easily strips her clothes off on a whim. When Clain brings an injured Phryne to his home and gives her a first-aid kit, she immediately undresses (only revealing her under clothes) to take care of her wounds and tells him to leave. Soon after, Phryne approaches Claine topless (her long hair covering her breasts), as she can't reach the back of her shoulder to apply the medicine. Both times Phryne is stoic while Clain blushes heavily with uncertainty of what to make of the situation. In Episode 6, Phryne strips down naked so she can have fun splashing water with Nessa and Sanko in the river.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Fractale / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: There's a reason that Nessa and Phryne (as well as Moeran, the High Priestess) have the same hair colour. They are all "Phryne clones." Nessa is how Phryne looked as a 10-year-old while Moeran is presumably how Phryne will look like when she's 40. In the manga, as well as promotional posters, all three of them have purple hair. In the anime, Phryne's hair colour causes Fridge Logic—apparently, as a child, she had red hair. Which turned brown as a teen. And will eventually turn purple.

She attempts to escape, but ends up back on the airship as a hostage more or less of her own free will.

Meaningful Echo: Nessa watching from a distance as Lost Millennium's airship leaves without her mirrors the earlier scene◊ of the "real" Nessa watching from a distance as the airship retreats. When Phryne leaves Clain and Nessa to return to the Temple in Episode 9, it pans out to her walking along a long, unwinding road, the scene almost replicating when she first leaves Clain in Episode 1.

Flaw Exploitation: Clain and Phryne both putting each other's well-being above their own or anything else. It nearly bites Phryne when she is almost forced into a virginity check in exchange for Clain getting medical treatment after getting shot.

comment
Wham Episode: Episode 3. Episode 7. Not only is Phryne almost raped by Gail, the episode ends with Nessa unleashing a devastating power that reveals Xanadu's true nature to protect Clain. Almost immediately after, Clain is shot by Colin, and Phryne arrives only for Barrot to find her. The whams continue in Episode 8. Barrot is revealed to be the person who raised Phryne to be the "key" and attempts to see if she's still a virgin. Clain learns that there are countless clones that resemble Nessa (but are really clones of Phryne from her childhood) sealed away because Phryne is the "key" and the useless replicas are destroyed. The Phryne clone who helps Clain rescue Phryne is nearly killed herself and points Clain and Phryne to the direction of the underground base's shelter, but the underground base explodes with Enri screaming out Clain's name.

Wild Card

Wild Card: Dias. His motives are to ensure the Fractale System will not be restored, but his way of accomplishing said goal is morally ambiguous; really, he leans more on being an extremist than well-intentioned. His schemes include removing civilians' Fractale terminals, bombing an underground Temple base knowing that Clain and Phryne were still inside, and planning on having Phryne killed so the Fractale System cannot be restarted.

Not So Different: Lost Millennium and the Temple priests/priestesses. Though Clain tries to act more mature than Nessa and is in disbelief of her cheerfulness when they are kidnapped, he acts quite keet-like upon seeing the antiques of Granites Village. Sunda and Phryne both want the Fractale System to collapse. Though Clain and Phryne appear to be a case of Opposites Attract, they are both childish and impulsive—evidently shown when they have a race up a hill in Episode 6.

Moments after they are released, Clain gets in excited fanboy-mode when he sees a bunch of antiques, culminating in an instance where one of the Granite village guards has a rifle trained on him, and Clain's reaction is, "I can't believe he's still using an optical sight!"

Adaptation Dye-Job
 Fractale / int_a4414a05
comment
Adaptation Dye-Job: Promotional posters show Phryne◊ and Nessa◊ as purple haired, but in the anime, Phryne is a brunette and Nessa is a redhead. Also, Enri and Sunda◊ originally had orange hair in their character designs. Clain is originally a blond in the promotional ads, but his hair was a paler shade of blond than his hair color in the anime. Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: There's a reason that Nessa and Phryne (as well as Moeran, the High Priestess) have the same hair colour. They are all "Phryne clones." Nessa is how Phryne looked as a 10-year-old while Moeran is presumably how Phryne will look like when she's 40. In the manga, as well as promotional posters, all three of them have purple hair. In the anime, Phryne's hair colour causes Fridge Logic—apparently, as a child, she had red hair. Which turned brown as a teen. And will eventually turn purple.

Scandalgate: The series will not be seen in whole until all unauthorized copies of the series are taken down. This could be a new version of Oreimogate. To coin a phrase: "Fractalegate."

True Companions: Clain eventually realizes this towards Nessa, who was more of a "family" to him than his own parents. By the series' end he still thinks Lost Millennium is composed of murderers, but has also grown to think of them as his friends. Lost Millennium. Interestingly enough, a portion of the Granites Village faction actually are a family.

Doppelgänger: "Doppels" are robot-like virtual beings that humans use to both avoid physical interaction and out of convenience, so that they may travel easily without being tied down. Clain has Doppels for parents and can disable them at will.

The Dulcinea Effect
 Fractale / int_c6538cc6
comment
The Dulcinea Effect: When Clain first meets Phryne, he instinctively wants to help her, and she is probably the first, real human he's seen in a while since most humans use Doppels. It really kicks in when Clain is really only concerned about Phryne during the Temple's attack on Granites Village, and he chooses to rescue Phryne, leaving Nessa behind when she refuses to follow him in Episode 4.

Shout-Out
 Fractale / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Clain appears to be listening to an iPod-like music device in Episode 1. The ending theme's lyrics are from a William Butler Yeats poem. The Bare-Handed Blade Block Clain attempts in Episode 7 resembles Fullmetal Alchemist. Sunda is shot and dying and holds the line at an elevator for Clain, Phryne, and Nessa, giving a vaguely motivational speech, certainly reminds one of a sequence from another anime with a decent amount of mind screw. The city of Xanadu is apparently named after a surreal 80s movie.

Red Herring: Played with. Clain initially believes that Nessa is Phryne's Doppel, but Episode 3 shows a Temple priestess who looks exactly like Nessa and refers to Phryne as "nee-sama", indicating that Nessa is this priestess's Doppel instead. However, in Episode 8, the priestess "Nessa" turns out to be one of many of Phryne's clones that resemble Phryne from her childhood. It turns out that Phryne 'herself' is a Phryne clone too, specifically #152589, and the High Priestess Moeran is #141923.

Ship Tease: Clain/Phryne and Clain/Nessa. Even Enri seems interested in him. She questions Phryne on her relationship with Clain in Episode 7, is worried for the "naughty jerk" when Phryne and he are captured in Episode 8, and screams out Clain's name when the underground base Clain and Phryne were taken to explodes. She even tries to confess to him in Episode 9. A tiny bit in Episode 10. Sunda punches Dias after Dias reveals that he was planning on having Phryne killed so the Fractale System cannot be restarted. Dias asks Sunda if he's fallen for Phryne, and Sunda walks away without answering. Subverted in that Dias was probably just being a troll and Sunda couldn't stand the guy.

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Clain assumes that Nessa is Phryne's Doppel, but she has no recollection of Phryne. In Episode 3, Nessa appears to be the Doppel of an actual priestess at the Star Festival, who calls Phryne "nee-sama." However, Episode 8 reveals that the priestess "Nessa" is one of many clones of Phryne from her childhood. Episode 9 has Phryne tell Clain that Nessa and she are two halves of the "key"—Nessa as the mind and Phryne as the body to host it—and when they are one, they will be able to restore the Fractale System.

Heroes Want Redheads: Inverted and averted. Nessa is obviously attached to Clain, but Clain is too far into The Dulcinea Effect for Phryne to notice.

Pet the Dog: When Enri notices how left out Nessa feels during the welcome to Granites Village in Episode 3 (the residents cannot see Doppels unaided), Enri gets them to use their eye monitors, allowing the group to see Nessa. One of the residents, a child named Sanko, becomes fast friends with her. In Episode 8, one of Phryne's clones tells Clain where his Phryne is after he bandages her wound.
