| Nice episode. I guess my prediction about haru doing something (Betraying) again was wrong. That mind erase from the girl was pretty interesting.. I wonder how she did that and as a level 1. |

edwd2 said: Too many cliched dialogues during battles -1 Haru always wins -1 3/5 and wtf is with the semi-naked loli in the next episode preview Wow, I hate people like you that just state everything is a goddamn cliche, check the age of Accel World, it's 13+. If these "cliched" dialogues wouldn't be here, there would be no development at all either. I semi-agree with Haru always wins, he doesn't always win tho, Aqua Current said that he has a 70% win ratio, which means 30% of his games are lost, problem is they never showed us the games he lost. So in the end you're still an idiot. |

Nice episode, i enjoyed that tag team match. Awesome flaming kick. |
|
| Wow i think they did a really crap job or animating Haru x Aqua vs Sand Duct x Nickel Doll. The whole time i was watching it i kept sitting there thinking to myself that it was a hell of alot better when i read it in the manga. So after i finished the episode i went through the chapter again and i think the manga fight was alot better. It seems to me they pretty much half assed both Kuroyukihime x Taku and also Haru x Aquas fights, they split the attention doing both at the same time and it ended up with both ending up sub par with them both really lacking. So far that Taku vs kuroyukihime was not in the manga but it very well may be in the next chapter or something, but trying to do both in 1 episode did not pay off. |

| Still one of the worst shows this season, slowest fucking shit there is. I'm hating everything about it at this point... almost unwatchable, haru is still the biggest fucking wuss ever and all he got is melo drama. I'm probably the only one that hates this show since everyone else loves it for no apparent reason, it got nothing good, the chars suck, the "story" is un-original, it's slow as hell and it looks like shit no matter how you fucking look at it. Then again, this is my opinion and i fucking hate it... come at me fanboys |

| Cheesy shounen speeches that try to develop the characters in the most shallow, predictable way possible interspersed with some action. I guess that would be okay if the action were more polished, but it's not. The action is pretty average and doesn't do anything to move me. Plus Haru's kick is a retarded attack. No, effective combat move would ever take that long to set up and execute. Not only that but I would expect it to be much for flashy if I'm going to ignore the long set up time then give me something worth the wait, not a lame flying kick. The dialogue and characters are just painfully cliched. Instead of using shounen tropes as bases to create unique characters this show is content to leave it's characters as walking cliches. It's sad really because the show has an interesting concept but the execution makes it painfully average. |

| ^ Who cares a deep shit of what sort of deep show you watch .... I am just saying that this genre might not be suitable for you >.>"..... |
| I do love MAL and its stream of people claiming they have superior taste and what to like and dislike. Never change MAL... orz for not realizing that it was Ueda Kana voicing AC. The fights were a bit fast though. It was still good I guess. No need to drag this sidestory for long. Finally, volume 2 now. This should be good. |
 |
| from this point on, things will be new to me so i am curious as how things will play out from now on. |

Then again, this is my opinion and i fucking hate it... come at me fanboys Personally I think this show is mediocre and a bad adaptation but I might as well counter your points. First off, no. You are not the only one who hates this show. There are plenty others who dislike it. About the story being unorignal...come on, everything is unorignal. At this point you can break something down to it's lowest common denominator and it becomes unorignal. Let's look at it on a little broader scale. We have an overweight protagonist(Now this is rare) who is fighting battles in a cyber world gang war and has a female childhood friend who already has a boyfriend. Hell looking at it from that point it already has more originality than Eureka seven AO. A story being slow isn't necessarily a bad point. But compared to other slow shows this can be considered quite speedy. Also these are practically copied and pasted from a light novel. So as for it's true pace you would be watching six episodes at once. I see no problems with the animation. Plenty of movement, looks decent and for once we have actual animated mecha. Christ how long has it been since we have seen an animated mecha instead of a giant pile of CG? This is cannon fodder complaints mate. This is the same as typing in a youtube comment saying "It's shit because it is" and that is an utterly worthless comment. If you want to be taken seriously then you got to back up your comments with logic. If I had to point out the biggest flaws with Accel world it would be the infodumping. It literately is fired out with no effort to make it work in anime format. Take some lessons from UFOtable and KyoAni Sunrise. Don't just have you character perform a staring contest and spout out exposition. Have them do things. Hell you have them connected by a neural network there's plenty of room for some experimental visuals with using it to illustrate their conversations and make them more interesting. Even in battle there should be more fighting going on. Nobody said you can't talk and fight at the same time. There is a butchering of Haru's character as well. True he whined a lot in the beginning and his art style probably makes it hard for people to take him seriously. But when I was reading the novel he came across as being an actual intelligent shounen lead. Good god those are in short supply. However in the anime he comes across as idiotic and naive. I blame this mostly on the voice actor and the presentation of his lines. Haru should have a calmer voice. Especially when playing brain burst. However the worst thing is that the action scenes don't have the impact they had in the novel. This is difficult to show in anime but I was expecting the fights to have the same feel as Gurren Lagann. That way the presentation of these corny speeches would come off as epic if said in a Gurren Lagann manner. |

| Oh! shit.... As I thought Kuroyuki and Taku are fighting for some cliche reasons...... And Haru immediately believing in a complete stranger..... and being all too cheesy as ever.... WTF with that memory deletion...... So neuro-linker can also modify brain..... Isn't that a serious flaw in neuro-linker.... Anyway I'm only watching this for Awesomely animated fight scenes...... 3/5 |
 |
| Taku looks pretty boss with those glasses. They suit him too well. The memory erasure was pretty lame. Feels like most of the episode's progress was just reversed. Some loli next episode.

| DAT KICK!! Man, they were teaching me science too. Oh. Now that they mentioned it. I think they were fighting in front of my office. LOL |

Posse said: Is it me or the last few episodes have been going downhill? Not that they're bad, but compared to the first 3 or 4 episodes they're lacking something Same feeling. It feels like it stopped being very interesting. |
| A okey epi. Too much talking sometimes... And i liked aqua´s avatar. ^^ |
| ... |
| Well that was stupid. She just wiped his memory! Karen was cute. Hopefully they'll meet again. :( Great fights and good thing Kuroyuki talked some sense into Taku. He really was being selfish. So he joined their school and started wearing glasses even though you shouldn't need them in that day and age. Curious what's going to happen next! Looks like more fights and a yet another girl interested in Haru. The bastard... Aslo; I absolutely love the design of Black Lotus. The feminine form with the black and purple colors looks awesome. |

edwd2 said: Fan Service redeeming with loli fan service. Add to that the sexy hands and eye designs on the girls in this series and you got Otakus all over this. Hence sales.and wtf is with the semi-naked loli in the next episode preview |
| Kinda sucked. But was such a bland episode that it's wasn't worth getting very irritated over. It's bad enough that Haru is a whiny, little pig. And a crybaby pig. And a self-loathing, self-absorbed, disgusting piece of crap. (I should have asked Seraphim to provide the description of him :). And that his seiyuu plays the role in as irritating a manner as I can imagine. But now there are two whiny, wretched creatures who are constantly in need of a spine, that's only provided by whichever female happens to be nearby. This despite their having real talents. While these two cretins have essentially been cretins for a while, it felt like this episode was 20 minutes of mewling and self-abuse. Lurching back and forth between the two 'battles' didn't help. That the higher level characters weren't interesting opponents only compounded the weakness of the episode. As an aside, and unlike my previous points, these aren't complaints, if the twin-tailed sprite is so pure, why is she green? She looked more like sea water than pure water. Secondly, isn't Haru's special attack a head butt? Why is he relying on a flying drop kick? |
| meh was hoping for more..but that falcon kick was entertaining:P |
 |
TravSavage said: There's only one thing that needs to be said after seeing Haru's attack... Why the hell did I not think of that?!!?! Although I prefer the knee, your opponent is fucked with the right timing. Yeah, the kick was pretty much the best thing, the fight seemed better in the manga but Taku vs. Kuroyuki was new time, so that was a win. I have to admit that some of the dialogue is cliché and twisted bullshit but I see a lot of potential in this and that's what keeps me reading and watching it, you just have to bear with those issues for the time being, nothing is perfect. I'm really looking forward to the next episode, the scanlated manga stuff has been covered by now and I have no idea what's going to happen but I just hope for really awesome battles and more of Kuroyuki. |

rodac said: Yumekichi11 said: A FERRET!? O_O AHAHHAHAHAH! That’s how I felt. It is cute though. I thought it was an otter rather than a ferret--which would fit in more with the water motif for Aqua Current. Of course her expertise in "ferreting" out information would probably justify the other interpretation as well. A close look at the paws would probably reveal which it is. Maybe we'll really be lucky and she'll turn out to be a memory wiping vampire (sorry Yumekichi...)... I thought it was a ferret too but judging on how you suspect that its an otter, how does that justify Haru's avatar being a pig and his other being able to fly? Btw cool, now its revealed theres another (unknown?) legion which is made up of elements? e.g. fire,water, air and more? |

| Memory Wipes, god I hate those |
| Hmm.. A pretty bland episode, and kinda slow. Not very interesting. |
 |
| I like the Aqua avatar. |
   |
| Great episode. I thought they're going to make the battle with Sand/Nickel into 2 episodes. Seems crunched, putting that into a single episode AND Cyan Pile vs Black Lotus' battle too. The ending scene is just so heart-warming though, it's good. :) |
| 3/5 It's just OK. I'm just disappointed with Aqua because I thought she's going to be a bad-ass fighter beating the crap out of higher level players. Like someone having a noob account in an FPS multiplayer but dominating anyone that has a higher rank. I also think Taku suits Hime and Haru ending up with Chiyu is better. |

| This episode looked so much better in the manga >_>". And did they just add more story to prolongue the episode? At Least Aqua current's casual avatar was cute, probably the best thing this episode |
MorningGlory said: engas said: I think the ability to stole a person's memory is more than dominating.It effect a person's memory in reality . lolLike someone having a noob account in an FPS multiplayer but dominating anyone that has a higher rank. It's a useful ability but I can't imagine how she can use it in the middle of a fight. Unless she has a way to immobilize/paralyze her enemy completely. With that, you could really say she is dominating. :D |
| Interesting development in this ep, liked the tag match too! |
| That girl seemed like a good character,too bad,she made him forget her. |

ahmed_great2005 said: That girl seemed like a good character,too bad,she made him forget her. Yeah, but in the novel, this was just a side story anyway. |
| Dunno about you guys, but there's like no incentive to level up rather than for reputation and some level up bonuses. I'd keep all my points just in case and stay at Level 1, so I could Burst Link more with no worries and risk less points. |
Kefkiroth said: Dunno about you guys, but there's like no incentive to level up rather than for reputation and some level up bonuses.

Well, leveling up increases your stats too, and as in any RPG, better stat = better chance of winning battles. Example is when Silver Crow fought Cyan Pile. Silver Crow was supposed to be resistant to amputation and piercing attacks, yet he still got damaged severely by Cyan Pile's attacks due to the level difference. Also, there's the point of playing the game itself. Your saying is akin to the 9 kings decided to play it safe and stick with level 9, versus Kuroyukihime's desire to reach level 10. |
