NOO i need a second season.. Come on sunrise T_T it's been 2 years
Well I had been thinking and well the short of it is that Sunrise Studio 8 which did accel world has around 23-24 episodes of free time open in 2015 because love live is getting a movie not a full series next year and buddy complex isn't going to get a second season due to terrible sales that and considering the name of the OVA it was going to be the end anyways I haven't watched buddy complex but yeah its named like buddy complex the final chapter or something.
So theres a chance it could be Accel world there are various other tentative reasons to think it could be accel world but its by no means a certainty.
And The Longggggggg... of it
So that's around 14 episodes free from not animating buddy complex 12 episodes + 2 OVA's and a average anime feature is around an hour long so that aprox 3 episodes worth of animation so take that from the usual total of 10 episodes worth of animation.
So we have 23 - 24 episodes of animation not accounted for in 2015 early 2016 this however only says that they have 24 episodes worth of animation coming out in 2015 it could be for example a third season of horizon in the middle of nowhere being made into a 24 episode anime because the second season was criticized for trying to cram too much novel material into 12 episodes and horizon was way more popular than Accel world.
Or it could be 12 episodes of a new IP and 12 episodes of Horizon or a 24 episodes of a new IP.
Although the thing that I would say lends some credence to the possibility of it being accel world is that it would make sense not to bring out Accel world season 2 in the same year as SAO season 2 because of its popularity and crossover in viewership.
But that is by no means hard evidence, I would say that an accel world season 2 coming out in 2015 has by my approximation about a 10% - 20% chance now, where as before I was thinking it was less than 1%.
Another reason why they would have stalled tell 2015 however is that Love live is SUPER popular more popular than Accel World SAO and Horizon combined.
So animating Accel World before Love live would be insane, but if they have run up against source material problems with love live then it makes sense to go with something they know will make them a little money while more source material comes out for Love Live.
It really makes some sense when you put the pieces together although I could just be making connections where there are none.
Also to people who say that Accel world wasn't popular enough i know of two anime which went on Blu ray sale within 1 - 2 months of Accel world that got a second and third season and did WORSE than Accel World.
