''Fractale'' is an 11-episode [[Shounen]] 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 [[Boy Meets Girl|meets]] the [[Mysterious Waif|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 [[The Dulcinea Effect|begins to bond]] with the girl, Phryne disappears the next day, leaving behind a brooch for Clain. A female [[Artificial Human|doppel]] named Nessa appears from the brooch, and Clain and Nessa both go in [[I Will Find You|search of Phryne]] while uncovering the secret of the Fractale System.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Clain [[Running Gag|gets this a lot]] when it comes to [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Phryne]] and [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Nessa]].
 
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Promotional posters show [https://web.archive.org/web/20120522113107/http://www.animekon.com/gallery/2011/01/092348073364.jpg Phryne] and [http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/2481/1121z.jpg Nessa] as purple haired, but in the anime, Phryne is a brunette and Nessa is a redhead. Also, [http://www.animekon.com/gallery/2011/01/140722398182.jpg 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 Plothole]]: {{spoiler|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.}}
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Clain uses this tactic to search for Phryne in Episode 8.
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Call to Adventure]]
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Clain calls out his doppel parents on leaving him alone in Episode 2, not because families separate to display trust and freedom as they claim, but so they can do whatever they want.
* [[Cannot Stand Them CannotCan't Live Without Them|Cannot Standwith Them, CannotCan't Live Without Them]]: Clain initially thinks of Nessa as [[The Load]], but he eventually grows to appreciate her.
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: In spite of its happier moments every now and then, the series takes a darker turn following [[Seventh-Episode Twist|Episodes 7 and 8]].
* [[Chase Scene]]
Line 242 ⟶ 241:
* [[Seventh-Episode Twist]]: Episode 7 ends with {{spoiler|Nessa unleashing a devestating power that destroys Xanadu, Colin shooting Clain, and Phryne arriving to the scene just as Barrot finds her.}}
* [[Ship Tease]]:
** Clain/[[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Phryne]] and Clain/[[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Nessa]].
** Even ''[[Third Option Love Interest|Enri]]'' seems [[Tsundere|interested]] in him. She questions Phryne on her relationship with Clain in Episode 7, {{spoiler|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. {{spoiler|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 [[Jerkass|Dias]] was probably just being a [[Troll]] and Sunda couldn't stand the guy.}}
