Fractale/YMMV

Subjective Tropes for the anime series Fractale:

"Barrot: Phryne! Don't let her get away! Follow them! Follow them! Follow them within three seconds!"
 * Angst? What Angst?: Though this is the first time Clain has witnessed in Episode 3, Clain is only mildly bothered by the events of the previous episode and quickly regains his composure in Episode 4.
 * Base Breaker: Applies to several of the characters. In Fandom, Nessa is often regarded as the Ensemble Darkhorse or The Scrappy. On a lesser note, fans either see Clain as a decent Audience Surrogate or annoying in general, and Phryne as an interesting character or a bitch. And then there are viewers who just despise Enri for constantly mouthing off that Clain is a pervert, only suddenly show concern for him in Episode 8.
 * Complete Monster: Barrot is one of the highest-ranking figures of the Temple, a society which has enslaved the world to the Fractal System, and is the second-in-command to Archpriestess Moeran. By nature a perverted sociopath, Barrot is the current head of the Temple's cloning project, which has manufactured hundreds of thousands of identical clones all under the name of Phryne for the purpose of experimenting on them to see if they are worthy to become the key to restarting the Fractale System; any that do not meet the qualifications are disposed of. Barrot has defiled and disposed of these clones over and over, and fixates on one particular Phryne clone, raising the Phryne as his own daughter and subjecting her to sexual attentions. After Phryne escapes from the Temple, Barrot orders a wide search for her, fully willing to assault a village linked with Lost Millennium and pay immoral clients should they be capable of turning Phryne in. Barrot later retrieves Phryne, and forces her into a virginal check under the threat of Clain's life, and later boasts that he himself raped Phryne in order to emulate the experiences of Phryne's first body and make her suitable to become the key, gloating that she was "the finest vintage I ever matured." Barrot is narcissistic enough to view himself as the world's savior for his immoral research, and takes in any opportunity to soak in his own ego and sick sense of self-satisfaction.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Fractale - 1st Movement by Sohei Kano.
 * Designated Protagonist Syndrome: When compared to the rest of the characters, Clain is often seen as "bland" to viewers.
 * 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 has implications of rape.
 * Ear Worm: The opening theme is pretty catchy. Also, the "day star" song.
 * Ending Fatigue
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Nessa. Sunda also gained an increase of fans after a particular Badass moment in Episode 10.
 * Genius Bonus: The opening. Those are all real well-know examples of fractal structures.
 * Growing the Beard: Arguably, Episode 3.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Pretty much everyone hates for  and wants him dead for
 * Needs More Love: Desperately.
 * Nightmare Fuel: See page entry.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: See page entry.
 * The Scrappy: Barrot.
 * Signature Scene: Phryne falling in Episode 1 is one. It's a scene showed in the preview commercials of Fractale when the title appears.
 * Squick:
 * Megan turning out to be 's doppel and 's Attempted Rape on
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Some people feel this way about the anime character designs versus the original promotional ad designs.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Again, some people feel this way about the plot itself.
 * What an Idiot!: Barrot in Episode 4:
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Again, some people feel this way about the plot itself.
 * What an Idiot!: Barrot in Episode 4:
 * What an Idiot!: Barrot in Episode 4:


 * The Woobie:
 * Nessa in Episode 4 Subverted in that, and she easily gets over her disappointment in Clain and her anger towards Phryne during a game of hide-and-seek.
 * Phryne, Phryne, Phryne.
