First impressions stick and can be difficult to overcome, and perhaps the best candidate for this in recent memory is Accel World. Due to this, Accel World's well developed aspects are often overlooked in favor of those who like to form unmovable opinions after only the first episode or two of a series. Unfortunately as a result, it works uphill with most audiences throughout the start of the series.

"Wildly entertaining but sometimes frustrating." Accel World in a nutshell.

Haruyuki Arita is the biggest loser in school. And the author did a darn good job portraying him to be one. He’s 3 feet tall, morbidly obese, and has a propensity to cry more than your 3-year-old nephew. His character design was too exaggerated; you can still be a loser while having the right body proportions you know?

Recommendations

The story line involves the idea that you enter a world that is a virtual reality. They have similar art styles and the game play for the characters is different, but the real world repercussions are more drastic in one series then in the other, but they are still there.
Both of these series similar. Main characters fights in another "world" but have normal life in our world. And similar atmosphere of course.

Ending Theme

#2: "→unfinished→" by KOTOKO (eps 2-13)
