[quote=mAcOdIn]Nagato breaks the series completely, she's the closest thing to a character as she's the only one that shows any character progression but everything about her gets called into question since she basically knows the future.[/quote]
Maybe she doesn't exist at all?!

They managed to cram in both mono no aware reactions into a town festival episode. Amazing!

Could have been some kind of daily deal too or does Amazon.jp not do those?zeroshiki said:
It's not her existence called into question, it's everyone else's. Kyon doesn't influence Haruhi, Nagato influences Kyon who influences Haruhi. Kyon has nothing. His existence is allowed because Nagato wills it, Haruhi's existence is because Nagato wills it, Nagato already knows the future and can take Haruhi's powers and even if she doesn't directly influence Nagato she has Kyon to do it for her. She's not the secret main character she's likely the only character, can any of the others even be real at that point? Or is this the "if God is almighty can he create a rock that he himself can not move" type crap? Regardless, the author really wrote himself into a corner with Nagato to the point it's not even worth speculating about now, it's all broken.firehawk12 said:

It's actually a prequel to Lost!mAcOdIn said:
Interesting? I couldn't get past the second episode, I got further in Strike Witches than I did Fractale, I can't say I find that interesting. The director probably bought them all, he was tired of hearing people how many Fractales did something sell.zeroshiki said:

That's the impression I get as well. Once it became clear in Episode 01 that Sato was not going to run away from the Bento fighting, she decided that she'd take him (and Oshiroi) under her wing and train them (though Sato moreso) to succeed her. She spends a lot of time explaining everything to them, and was even waiting for them in the club room after their excursions to be there for them if they succeeded. I'm sure it's likely they'll go toward a "she likes him" route eventually, but for now I'm liking this relationship of a mother wolf raising her new cub.

It was the combination of ALL these elements that made Fractale so damn disappointing. If the show had been:
i) Whimsical fantasy adventures with the annoying short magical girlfriend in a vaguely iyashikei way
OR
ii) Escaflowne-esque high fantasy with some interesting concepts and the grimdark stuff dealt with properly
It might have been more successful. But the show had such terrible mood swings... I'm still really disappointed with how Fractale turned out as it sounded and looked so promising beforehand
Hey, so remember the (double-billed with HnG) Negima film that everyone agreed was so half-assed that even Ken Akamatsu was disappointed by it?

Why is everyone "DISLIKING" on this ep? I liked it
That feel when the guy spends his whole life studying, sacrificing social life and reputation only to be number 2 to a popular non nerd, feels it's a waste
That feel when Taichi get's over his Arata inferiority complex and realizes he can be a legitimate training partner with Chihaya, stops lying to himself saying it's ok if he loses
That feel when Nerd sees what Taichi is doing mirrors his own academic efforts, being upstaged by someone else who's 'naturally better', yet persevering anyway due to love of the game (in his case studies)

I hope there's more to history girl than to be the person who operates the player and that even though the episode wasn't as great as the previous ones, it was still enjoyable and that I hope Taichi can stop comparing himself to Arata.

Bah! As long he's crazy for Chihaya he'll always compare himself to Arata!! =(

It's nice to see an anime with so many non-cliche characters. I would say only Planetes has a similar group dynamics.

There's a language problem here. There's shounen, seinen, and seinen. In Japanese it looks like this:
少年 - Shounen - Boys
青年 - Seinen - Youths
成年 - Seinen - Adults
So what's halfway between manga for boys, and manga for adults, is manga for youths. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite translate well if you're using Japanese terms in English.

fit that bill? I think it is a broader term, but if people want to use something for that...I'm not an expert, in fact I don't know practically anything from the language in question... don't hit me!

But we're talking about manga demographics here. Generally though, the term seinen is more commonly used for youths, rather than adults. For adult titles, they usually use the term seijin. Of course this also largely refers to well... porn mostly.
