Guilty Crown and Fractal are probably the worst shows I've actually watched all the way through with the desperate hope that they'd get better. Most others I've dropped after 3 episodes or so.
Not gonna lie, I actually enjoyed most of Fractale, even if it didn't make too much sense. The ending was garbage, though. Some plot threads were hastily snipped (like Enri's crush on Clain), while others were stuffed in at the last second (What was the deal with Dias and that Fractal-lady, anyway?), and the entire thing just felt like a hack-job. Regarding the whole "Phryne is God" thing at the very end, I think they were trying to channel something like The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, but they failed miserably.
To be fair to the creator though, Fractale had the misfortune to air during the same timeslot as Madoka Magica, and effectively got trounced by that very series. Apparently this caused him a lot of distress, so I don't blame the guy for cutting his losses and ending the series early.
