Plot:
A'right, so if you are a certified gamer, you'll probably relate to Accel World. The main protagonist of the story has a unique appearance from other protagonists of anime I have watched so far. The first time I saw a picture of Accel World, I thought he was a 'chibi'. But nah! He is a short boy with a round and large physical appearance. Haruyuki Arita(his name) a.k.a. 'Silver Crow', was always bullied at his school which affects his own self confidence and self esteem. For him to cope, he indulged himself in the Virtual Games. With his skills in playing, he was able to get the attention of the beautiful Black Snow Princess ('Kuroyukihime' in Japanese; she's also known as 'Black Lotus' and 'Black King'), the school's Student Council President who is also the leader of the Black Legion (one of the seven legions in the game). Kuroyukihime was the one who introduced the game called Brain Burst to Haruyuki. Brain Burst is a secret application that allows the user to accelerate the brainwaves at which time seems to stop. Also, it is played by many which you could refer to as a VRMMO Game (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Game). The times a person can accelerate on the reality depends on the number of Burst Points a player have and these points can only be obtained in winning a duel against another player. It has been believed that if they were able to reach Level 10, they would be able to know the secrets of Brain Burst or meet the creator of the game. Kuroyukihime wanted to attain level 10 with Haruyuki's help and to be able to achieve that goal, they will need to defeat sic other Level 9 players who are leading their own legions. Haruyuki has two bestfriends namely Kurashima Chiyuri and Mayuzumi Takumu. Both of them joined Nega Nebulus(name of Kuroyukihime's legion).
Remarks/Comments:
I am amazed on how Kuroyukihime's feelings for Haruyuki emerged in the anime. Despite Haruyuki's appearance, he gets to attract some girls. Lucky! The anime has 24 episodes, and can be finished in less than a day. Watching the anime reminds me somehow of Sword Art Online and Log Horizon. But in the game, they do not have the same image as they have in the real world. They have their own avatars. This anime doesn't have that much humor but it's definitely good. =)
