I think the anime was pretty good overall. Hanazawa Kana was great doing the voice of a 10 year old all cheerful and perky.
But that whole thing with Phyrne's dad just came out of the woodwork. It was hinted at, but overall it shouldn't had been tied in as an important plot point. It's not that I can't accept that concept, but just that it's used completely wrong. The scene devolved to a tasteless WTF moment, then the world carried on. The utopian world setting was nice. For a few episodes the anime looked Korean outsourced but the towns and backgrounds especially Xanadu looked spectacular. No lingering loose ends since I don't feel like there's anything to dwell on in this anime. Big bang and a happy ending. Straight forward enough. |

Hahaha. Finally finished watching, even though i was always one of those people who saw the episodes within the first 24 hours of release.
I wouldn't say i'm disappointed in the ending . . . just not satisfied. I did enjoy the series though ! Not sure how i would of liked it to end either. I'm rather confused with my feelings toward the ending. I sorta feel mindfucked , but i shouldn't be . Nonetheless , great series !

Liked this series but some characters are really just thrown in and dies too fast before the audience can even give a shit about. Some plotholes is so big that SDF 1 can pass thru. Awesome background and story but the character writings is somewhat uninspired. Seriously uninspired. Yamakan is a really slick visual guy but he failed to give the characters more meaning in this story.

ANN has a write up from an event back in April that had a lot of the staff/cast from Fractale talk about the show. I skimmed though it but there are some interesting bits in there.

And when he says he had a lot of trouble making up the ending just confirms mine and many others suspicions: Fractale was overambitious and they didn't have the skill to pull of an ending to it so they kind of went with that randomness we got. At least that's cleared up: it truly was half-assed.

I understand what he's saying though. He is proud of this show, as it's his first original anime, a work that reflects his soul, that he worked hard to make, that he was willing to quite anime over it, so rather than shun it due to the failure, he wants to carry it with him every where because it represents who he is and in a way, his baby. In a way, I can respect that. That being said, this clearly makes me all the more dislike him. I don't want to say Azuma was right or anything (both had acted in an unprofessional and IMO immature manner) but a whole lot of what I'm reading now makes it all the more clear that the man should have never said he would quite anime if the series didn't succeed. Gods, ''We couldn't come up with a way to conclude the story in the end, when we were discussing the series composition.''? So you stuck the ending of another series in yours and said ''it expresses what I want to say''? Cope+pasting something from another work into yours doesn't make a coherent tale, Yamakan. ''I actually tried and succeeded in making a drama with a very traditional approach.''? Well, maybe in your word. And very humble now, aren't we? Still this made me laugh (and felt a bit sorry for Yamakan) Quote:

(A shame no one picked my favorite scene, from episode 2 with Clain's parents. Oh well ...)

It was actually Yamakan who was trying to explain how Phyrne was on the cliff, not someone else. Also, are they saying that people actually *liked* Enri running around saying "ecchi ecchi!" all the time? I thought the general consensus here (of both genders, how the hell did they think that a character running around saying "pervert" was somehow going to make women like the show more?!?) was that it was just annoying, I'm so confused....

i.e. Yamakan has no idea what Yamakan is doing! Quote:
(That being said, I have no idea why would Okada consider this a good idea. Then again, she's not all that good in the first place so ...)

Continuing with the weirdness, now the manga-ka for the manga adaption asked to stop work on it because she found it boring, although I can't say I blame her.... ANN article with more detail

All this Yamakan drama made Fractale worth it. Everyone is spitting on him now.
