THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So the enemy was some kind of yellow avatar, who is not in the matching list also, with dragon. Kurikin, the legendary red, is Yuusha Robo? lol~

Kuro's friend Megumi was also burst linker? Her avatar is kind of like CCS.

Wow, the two girls' attack is water!!

Mystical Rein?

So they were thinking about the same for the present for each other. Megumi also chose black butterfly on the necklace.

Finally back to Haru next ep.

Hiyama Noboyuki as Sulfur Pot? Nice.
And damn, I was seriously reminded of Voltron when Crikin changed into a robot. Form feet and legs. Form arms and torso. And I'll form the head!
Megumi appearing still baffles me. She returned for a short time but then she has no recollection of it. I guess this relates to the reveal at the end of the anime/end of volume 4. And conversely, this may also be related to the things I heard about volume 12.
Then again, this side story is part of volume 10, which has a chapter where
I shouldn't take it seriously I guess.
What's important is that Sulfur Pot also doesn't appear in the matching list, which is the same as Noumi/Dusk Taker. It connects somewhat.
So next week we return to the main story. And just when I forgot about Noumi's smug face, he's the one that first appears in the preview.

Though, given that Megumi took a while before connecting to the cable, a lot of time should have passed inside the Unlimited Field. But she appeared at the exact moment where she is needed. Really now ( ¬‿¬)

I'm not sure, since I haven't read the AW novels yet (nor have I read the cross-over in question) but if the two settings are the same, wouldn't Haru be from the future, given that it takes place 20 years or so after the events of SAO.

^Whoops, my mistake. I was thinking that because he was the intruder to Haru so I thought he was the one from the future. You're right, AW is in the year 2047.
Still, my point sticks that the volume where that chapter and these past two episodes are in have some elements that are hard to explain within the boundaries of its own rules. More like it breaks some of its rules just because. Oh well.

Well Im not sure how to feel about these past two filler episodes. Sure they were interesting and put out some hints, but it left some questions unanswered. They could have explained Megumi more, especially with how OP she seemed, I mean a forced transition!? Thats a pretty crazy power.

Recap! More hints, the dragon guy not being on the list of players like nomi and him hinting at some organization which I believe nomi did also.

Im guessing theres going to be a second season. Cant imagine them wrapping up Nomi, this organization they keep hinting at, Chrome Disaster being in Haru, and someone hitting level 10 and the repercussions of it all in 6 more episodes.

I wonder if there will ever be any development between Kuroyukihime and Haru, I mean they both said they like each other (or at least Kuroyukihime did, cant really remember) but their relationship feels kinda weird.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

This episode was really really stupid...not bad mind you but stupid none the less, was I the only one singing the power rangers song when the screw guy was transforming?
I get the feeling that we haven't seen the last of Megumi and her Deus ex Machina ability to see ghosts that make her plug herself in to a strange socket and open a book up to the perfect page and say aloud what is there.

Yay we finally get back to the main plot next episode, I guess it was kind of relevant since we learned the yellow guy is the same type of thing as Nomi and that there is an orginasation but overall this has left me with a slightly sour taste in my mouth.

Well they leave the cabel becuase that girl kind of predict that Megumi will come as well that what it seem by leaving that cabel ahead.
I could almost figure out that Megumi in the past might have some trauma causing her lose memory about that world.
She definely knew that would but still can't remember it.
I'm sure we see more of Megumi later.

Chiyuri in the next episodes seem too stupid, why did you heal that guy?
Well let's see what happend.

How about the possibility that Megumi is that other healer who uninstalled her program after being frustrated for being the "most wanted player in party" ?
Almost thought she's doing that.

Can't remember it, but the bolt's armour's face looks really familiar, something from the super robot era. But can't remember the least of its name.

Coincidence. Megumi seems to enter the room not long after Hime dived in. The time inside and outside is different, so short time passed since the scene in eps 18.

Pretty good episode. I hope Kirkin somehow shows up again and his irl form gets even more screentime. Regardless, the transformer mecha blasting rockets was stunning as was Kuroyukihime's Death by Piercing. Cant wait to finally return to Nomi, Haru, and Taku.

Oh and in this episode I did like the shocking arrival of the mahou shojo's Paradigm Revolution

Something didn't make sense to me, 1 sec in real life isn't supposed to be 16 minutes in the Accel World? If so, how the fuck did Megumi manage to join them? Assuming she found them 5 real life minutes after they did the Unlimited Burst, inside the Accel World they would have needed to be 5*960=4.800 minutes in the Accel World which equals more than 3 days.

Megumi followed them, so I assume Megumi enters the room right after Hime and the girls initiated unlimited Burst and connected right away. All those pauses, self thoughts, and flashbacks were just effects to increase tension/drama.

What is more questionable is that clearly Megumi still has BB installed. So how is it that she never realize it's there? BB is supposedly takes quite a huge chunk of disk space on the neuro linker. Also, unless BB is a program that you can "turn on/off" on demand, how was it that Megumi herself is never listed in the match list at school, the fact that she has BB? And if the program can be turned off/on on demand, than everything makes no sense as if a user feels he/she is in danger of being challenged into a duel, he/she can just alt-F4 BB... :D

Ah, whatever. I still love the show. :D I have pointed out a possible issue in the past, where Haru was checking his inventory list to see if he has the CD armor, and his screen showed that he was connected to the Umesato's local network, which made no sense as they were in Haru's home connected to the global net. I guess Megumi will be one of these unexplainable things.

the action was good but could have been more better.... that Crikin is cool nice mecha wahaha

and Megumi got some amnesia of accel world for sure, she still has the brain burst program since she can enter accel world but since she has amnesia of it she tends to forget entering accel world, her power is crazy changing the landscape or battle stage

for light novel readers a question about megumi and her amnesia of accel world

Decent side story,always getting 24m of Hime is always welcome!!

Well the fight with Sulfur Pot was kinda entertaining,specially the part that Crikin transform,even that he ended getting own by the dragon -.-

Megumi Avatar was not bad,that power to change places is powerful,really wonder what made her forgot about Accel World,probably if there is another season will know.

Beyond that nothing to really tell,one thing I am going to miss the Lolis they were cute!!

Well next episode back to the main plot and to know WTF Chiyu heal the dickhead of Noumi!

BTW Hime say goodbye to you all!!

Great episode, I quite enjoyed the powers of Megumi in Accel World.

I have the impression that Megumi was a burst linker quite powerful, but for some reason she was eliminated from Accel World and forgot all about the game.

I also hope that the next episode will be the last of Noumi, because this guy is a shit and must be removed immediately from Accel World.Se that happens, maybe he forget all of Accel World as happened to Megumi and not remember most of the video.

I'm anxious to see the next episode. I hope hit my guess.

I actually liked this episode, although I felt that it was a little rushed at the end. Maybe it was just me.
I thought Crikin was pretty cool, even if he still got owned by that Neezhog thing. Hopefully we'll be able to see more of him in the future.
Megumi's starting to become an interesting character~


Anyway, we're back to the main plot in the next episode. I'm looking forward to that one, all right. Hope it won't disappoint.

Two things I have to say about this week's episode:

- The animation was top-notch, especially during the fighting scenes. I *really* enjoyed watching all the fluid movements and supreme looking drawings of the characters.
- Good God, did you see that preview? Haru's fuckin' MAD! Ooh, next week is going to be amazing.

And regarding the overall plot it seems that the first three novels will be covered by the first season of the anime which may lead to another season- something I wouldn't mind seeing.

Bleurgh, win by deus ex machina. The resolution was crappier than I expected.

There was one funny part though. The robot's transformation sequence was longer than the time it took the dragon to make it dust.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Call me crazy but I am calling this episode THE BEST EPISODE! Truly there has not been really a more marvelous mixture of Transformers assembly of a Robot, aquatic enticing Mermaid/fighting and SFX done. This was truly a nostalgic journey with this episode. Some quick thoughts.

About the beginning, it was quite the thrill at first. The fight really took no time except for loads of talks about Salvo boy there whom is a CHEATER obviously one way or another. What really shined about the fight was Hime in the spoiler
that green luster and new ability not shown before
was the point of things shining in the fight.

About the transformer, that was so kick ass in the spoiler
the transformation is notable in that it assembles itself piece by piece like a puzzle instead of what the Gundams do to assemble in the present. We are talking about THE 80S BABY! My time as a kid. I loved these Go-Bots assembly like that. To amount to the following,

Was so epic. I was right in the last episode this will be amazing for a sequence and I was right. I however never expected the spoiler
to have another really EPIC Yuniko like barrage Heavy Arms Style. WOW! I AM EXCITED just writing about it. It was great.

About Megumi, I was a little worried of her if she would do something not good when she found Hime with Ruka/Mana but it turns out a INSANE MOE came to illuminate in the spoiler
Megumi loli form? Loli form? HNNNNNNNGHHHHHH *dies* *comes back* that was so insane. It caught by surprise and it was so MOE.

Now Megumi’s whole Super Miracle Magical Girl Maker in the spoiler
was a little out of O_o WTF is up? Terra-forming the place or Accelerating the change of scenery? It was confusing as to how she did this suddenly. It was SFX nice.

About the aquatic fight, 2 parts were quite nice. First one is Mana being a Mermaid in the spoiler
oh shit! NICE! That was quite another surprise and she looked really nice. So I assume those 2 avatars are at advantage in water based places?

The second one is the whirlpool in the spoiler
that really showed that Ruka and Mana can whoop ass in the water. Followed by a nice Hime finish.

About the enhanced armament, I was surprised of the revealing in the spoiler
and would ask LN readers how much of a bitch it becomes due to them in the future of Accel World I wonder? I seems it might be a big problem from how much it was during this episode to get rid of Salvo boy.

About thee end of the episode and Megumi. First of all I really did yell out many times MANA! RUKA! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Due to the spoiler
:( They will never appear again or it will take like a while for them to come back. Those 2 were so MOE and nicely drawn out. Loved them a lot. Sad they had to go.

In regards to Megumi in the following,

Well that was quite daring of her. Hime holding hands with her in the spoiler
was also quite something of yuri taste for a little bit. I assume in the Bds they will show the rest of that GIF? Oh well at least what really was nice was to show what each of them bought for each other in the spoiler
Megumi’s gift really suits Hime and her avatar of non combat. While Hime’s suits nicely in colors Megumi.

Finally I wonder in the spoiler
is the guy Kurikin or yellow guy? Megumi is love! *swipes into Harem* Can’t miss out on how much of sweetheart she was shown in this episode and so well. I assume also that Megumi won’t be shown around in the next episodes and arcs for that matter. Is that correct LN readers?

About preview, back the plot in the spoiler
YES! Domination? By who? Noumi?

Hime in the spoiler
oh WTF? Noumi what did you do? GRRRRRRRRR! Oh RAGE! If he did that to Hime I won’t be happy at all man! Not Hime! Noumi no touch Hime!
