The series slows down considerably to show some not so obvious character development and let comedy take center stage. Phryne slowly opens up, while Clain discovers manual labor. But where is Nessa? Fractal: Reiterated continues with HD screencaps and revised text.
One of these days I’ll try to make an animated GIF out of the opening sequence. Fractal patterns have always fascinated me and I really like the opening credits. By this point, the opening theme had really grown on me as well.
At first Journey feels like a filler episode, albeit one with some good character moments. After all the madness in the prior episodes, the pacing mellows out and in some ways it is a slice of life story. Most of the story is about normality, but most telling is how alien that is to Clain.
The episode takes place on board the Granite’s fascinating airship, which is not named. The sheer size of the thing is impressive and we get something of a tour of its insides throughout this installment of Fractale. Being on the run from the Temple attack that happened in the prior episode, the rebels are carefully staying in the dead zones of Fractale’s failing coverage. For the moment, there is peace and an opportunity to see their daily lives more closely.
