" Fractale ", also known as "Fractal World", is a Japanese animation work directed by the director Yamamoto Hiroshi . This work began to be broadcast on Fuji TV on January 13, 2011, with a total of 11 episodes.
The story probably tells that in the 22nd century, the world was managed and maintained by a "Fractale system". It was composed of trillions of networked computers. By implanting a chip terminal, human beings Can automatically accept the "favors" (that is, money) brought by the system, and no longer need to earn daily necessities through work. Such an "upgraded version of Taohuayuan" has been in operation for thousands of years. Until one day, the Fractale system began to collapse, and the "monastery" of the management system had already forgotten how to repair the system. Restart.
And the protagonist of the story is a boy who likes to play with "antiquities" (old machinery), his name is Klein. One day, Klein accidentally rescued Fryuni, a monastery girl chased by the flying ship , and she was the "key" to restart the system. She stayed at Klein’s house for a day, and then left, and left a brooch with Fryuni’s "clone"-Nasha (we can think of it as a virtual character, It's like a character created by playing a game, but it's not completely under our control). In this way, Klein and Nessa embarked on a journey to find Fryuni, and in the process, they were constantly exposed to the secrets of the Fractale system.
The final result... the system restarted successfully, but Fryuni, who was the key, fell into a "hibernation" state, and the monastery that controlled the system disappeared. In other words, it is impossible for the system to restart again. . Those humans who depend on the system have re-entered the farming era and returned to a self-sufficient life. Klein has always guarded Fryuni,Waiting for her to wake up. One day, Fryuni woke up, and the two cried and hugged each other after confessing their love to each other, and the story ended. (After , I lived a shameless life, gratifying and gratifying! )
The story of "Fractal World" reflects two concepts: one is to criticize modern human relations gradually Virtualization and networking, the other is to advocate a simple lifestyle of returning to nature .
However, because of the short space, the production level is not particularly high (A-1 Pictures, which was responsible for animation production, was only established for less than six years at the time, and it was still a young company; , who was in charge of scripting, Okada 麿里 was Big brother, but at the time, she was not good at overhead themes and original works), which led to the lack of presentation of the story’s worldview. The plot is fast and slow, and the whole is still mainly selling cute and part of selling meat. In the end, "Fractal World" with 's highest rating of 2.5% and lowest rating of 0.9% , sadly exited the screen, and it attracted a lot of criticism before it left. When we recommended this animation to others, we used the picture of Fryuni’s bathing. Now it’s very embarrassing to think about it...
After all, although Yamamoto Hiroshi let go of his ruthless words, he retired from the industry if he didn’t succeed, but this work The final quality can still only be said to be average.
And interestingly, after boasted about Haikou, Hiroshi Yamamoto closed the blog and withdrew his retirement declaration . However, the Chinese people who eat melon do not buy it. Later, there are works that he supervised, which are called "Hiro Yamamoto's legacy" by the Chinese people.
"Fractal World" is not a big problem (mainly the appearance here), which is why I will still think of this animation ten years later. The overall picture style is similar to Hayao Miyazaki ,The characters are fresh and beautiful, the scenery is magnificent, and the feeling of Peach Blossom Spring in the future is not bad. The world view is also very grand, but Chapter 11 really can't accommodate such a large content. The biggest problem with this animation is the characterization and scripting. For the three main characters of , Klein is always thinking about life, Nessa is crazy about cuteness, and Fryuni is a little nervous . In contrast, the lost thousand-year-old passers-by who are a dragon set seem more natural, and the three protagonists have become weird.
Yamamoto Hiroshi’s work started from a good point. He wanted to use an original animation to tell a romantic story, but the story of this animation is too low, not only did not tell Klein’s journey well, but also the fractal world. What is it is not clear. It is not as good as the reality of the next door to Yu Xuyuanxuan. It has both a story and a selling point. Although it has pitted a lot of otaku, it has also ushered in many honors. The story is still the soul of animation after all.

As early as the " lucky star" period, when Kyoto Animation removed Hiroshi Yamamoto's supervisory position, he said: " believes that Yamamoto Kuan’s strength has not yet reached the level of being competent for the position of supervision. "From now on, Kyoto’s evaluation can be said to be without error and hit the nail on the head. Let’s take this "Fractal World" as an example. Its first volume of animated discs sold very poorly, with only 883. This figure was also set by the Chinese as the unit of sales. It is written as "frt" and pronounced as "wide." , Used to compare and ridicule the sales of other works. For example, in 2015, an animation "The Teacher of Radio Waves", the first volume of Blu-ray discs sold less than 354 copies, and the DVDs were less than 409 copies, and the total number was less than 800, so it was ridiculed by a penguin animation that "not even a width "", "The film "Fractal World" has finished exploding" and so on, it is really bad.
"Lucky Star"
In addition, in July 2011,"Fractal World" comic author Akasaki Mumei complained on the blog, "This story is not interesting", "I can't make it interesting, I want to know whether the story I wrote has become like this", " I didn’t see the animation at the end because it didn’t mean anything.” As a result, these remarks were caught upright by the director team. After a month of long talk with Yamamoto Hiroshi and others, Akasaki finally apologized for his remarks and agreed to continue serializing the comics. Let’s think, it’s really exhausting to continue serializing an animation with the lowest ratings of only 0.9%. After all, Akasaki still bears too much. Fortunately, the length of the entire comic is not long. The serialization ended after one year and two months, and the torture was not serious.

"Fractal World" finally ended in an inexplicable ending, and took away all the confidence of Yamamoto Hiroshi. On July 17, 2017, Yamamoto Hiroshi suddenly In his speech, he said that Japan's World War II was to build a "Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Circle" and ensure the prosperity of the region. When this was said, it represented that the Chinese market was completely abandoned by him. By the way, he also received a large number of refund applications from China. In 2019, Hiroshi Yamamoto personally declared bankruptcy. In September of the same year, he announced that he would crowdfund an anime called "Zhong". It was inspired by the Kyoto animation arson incident. We don’t know what he wants to do, but I hope that Uncle Kan will be able to Master the scale and don't kick yourself out of Japan.
