Vesperia - Generic game adaptation.
Fractale - I pity anyone that pays for it.
Freezing - Considering Sekirei's sales, makes sense. Bridget does have a nice body, fyi.

I like Fractale but i even i cant pay for it, Nessa isnt enough to make me spend the dough.

Fractale is, in a nutshell, everything that is wrong with Yamamoto Yutaka's directing. But also a demonstration of why you shouldn't stretch the abilities of your series composer and primary scriptwriter over three different shows in a season. Something is going to suffer, somewhere, with the internal logic process of plotting and pacing.

I couldn't give a stuff making a comment over Vesperia and Freezing. They just don't matter enough.

The fact that Vesperia was watchable at all makes it one of the greatest video game adaptations of all time.

That's still no excuse for only aiming for the bare minimum pass rate.
