posted on by Gia Manry
The North American anime distributor simulcast will be allowed to continue. As a result, there will not be a simulcast of the second Fractale episode tomorrow, and the rest of the series' simulcast is on indefinite hold.
Funimation Marketing Director Lance Heiskell told ANN, "We are disappointed that this series has been distributed illegally, and we're actively working to remove the first episode from illegal streaming and ing sites; we've got a dedicated anti-piracy team in place that works on controlling all of our simulcast material. However, our Japanese partners for this series have decided that since this episode is currently uncontrolled and is available illegally in all territories, they don't want the episode online."
The fantasy anime premiered in A-1 Pictures. As of Wednesday evening, the first episode is still streaming on Funimation's website.
The story is set on an island at the far reaches of a continent where the "Fractale System" is on the brink of collapse. A boy named Clain embarks on a journey to search for Phryne — a girl who disappeared, leaving behind only a pendant. Clain will eventually learn the secrets of the "System."
