those saying they were afraid noumi would be befriended by Nebula Nebulous Crow said in the beginning that he wasnt gonna try to befriend him. as he was then they would never be able to understand each other. but at the end of the episode haru did reach out to him. noumi does seem happier without the memories of Accel World in his mind i guess due to his brothers influence.

im thinking noumi only accepted his brothers guardianship to become closer to his brother and have something in common with him but it got warped.

anywho loved the ending praying there is a season 2 loved the red eyes glaring at haruyuki in the train scene came here to see if anyone else noticed and yup yup others did.

also i know its the same writer (?) but doesnt it seem like SAO and AW's stories are a little alike? SAO some people aren't wanting to get out of the virtual world because they have become accustomed to it where as AW peopel don't want to reach lvl 10 due to fear of losing their powers.

Black Vice is a coward. He acts cool but he's weak. Damn, wish Hime crushed him.


No he's not weak, as you see it for yourself, he's able to withstand Black Lotus's Attack. He's not the cowardly type, but more of the "I don't see anything good for me here, so I will leave" type of character. the cunning strategist type.

I went into the final episodes knowing there will be a second season, I can't wait!

I had a feeling Chiyu was using him to level up, they even made a point in saying she leveled twice in one day.

7/10 It started out really strong, but got worse as time went on.

I really liked Noumi's villain, until the big reveal behind it was I WAS ABUSED BY MY BROTHER BAAAW THATS WHY I WILL TAKE EVERYTHING.

The incarnate system was a neat idea, but just felt extremely random to introduce it to beat a much more powerful enemy.

I'm sure the intended result of introducing the research society is to have you really excited for S2, but after seeing the resolution of the Noumi problem, I'm not much interested. I'm much more interested in the other characters that got little to no resolution.

Not random, it's because Noumi is also using the same Incarnate System, and the only way to fight that is by learning IS too. Fight fire with fire.

Normal players cannot beat a player who's abusing the Incarnate System. All the Kings can do IS, that's why they are so "god like" and it's information about it is kept in secrecy.

This also explains when a King vs a King the fight is so Mind blowing, but when the King has to fight someone else lower it feels underwhelming, as Nico/Scarlet Rain warned "only use IS when the opponent is using IS".

She will, She was already a part of the OLD Nega Nebulus before the Red King Incident.
I doubt that she can ask anyone outside her own legion to cut her legs.

This season was truly a masterpiece.
The ending was beautiful and i always got the chills down my spine watching every episode.
It had a cool opening song as well.
Even though people would tell me that Chiyu switched to Nomi's side, i already had a a feeling that she was up to something else.
The weirdest part is when kuroyukihime gets off the train to meet haru and the girl on the train started emitting an andry red aura......

I can"t wait for a season 2!!!!!!!!

Overall a great show, but something has always felt wrong for me, I feel that this could've been a lot better. I was wondering 7 or 8, but since I rate crappier shows a 7 I'll give this 8/10!
I'm looking forward to season 2, there should be one considering this shows' popularity.

You know, no offense to fat people but the naked scene of Haru quite made me irk a little.

Amyways good episode with great fighting scenes, especially that move Silver Crow used when he was basically moving through the sky like a laser. Also i felt so happy when Noumi got sliced in half.

Raker still looks awesome and Chiyu still looks extremely cute.

Also so Kuroyukihime's name starts with a "sac"? or "sach"? kinda funny considering her VA is called "sachika"

Overall 9/10. Will definitely look forward to a 2nd season

Also lol i've been meaning to ask you two this question. Are you two friends or something? Cause everytime i see any one of you comment in the episode discussion, i'll definitely see the other right below or really close to that. And you two just so happens to have the intermission animation from the same anime though different characters.

Just curious though lol not that im hating it cause i always laugh a little upon seeing you two next to each other.

fly high haruyuki, dam this series was great, i enjoyed it alot and i loved the ending, i just hope that they get a new season as the LN has plenty of content they could cover

i must say that ive come to like haruyuki, i didn't like him at first, he was a loser and his character design wasn't very charismatic but as the series went on i found myself supporting him when the going got tough

Kuroyukihime

and fuuko call her Sacchan

Sa + kuroyukihime = Sakuroyukihime

Change o become A = Sakurayukihime

Maybe her name are Sakurayuki



now relate it with Haruyuki

Haru means Spring

Cherry Blossom (Sakura) are blooming in Spring

maybe that was her real name

you know that japanese sometimes loves relate the bond the character with something that we never expected.

this is maybe coincidence

Quite the complex indeed but it goes kind in hand with the OVA. However in this case both are questionable as they contradict each other from what you say but I can't say more due to the OVA saying stuff. It does reveal of the true name of Kuroyukihime but not quite conclusive.

Very interesting analysis but a nickname might not mean nothing but a nickname itself.


As Kuroyukihime stated before, her real name not that far from her codename/nickname

so this is as far as I can come up with

Also she always has symbol of Red purplish/ pink and black colour Butterfly.

if you ignore the black color, that red purplish/pink that color a bit similiar to CHerry Blossom

I know the end was supposed to be all "aww" by I couldn't help but laugh hysterically at Noumi after losing Brain Burst... Kid looked like he got a lobotomy and went full retard. Especially at the end when he was swaying side to side after seeing the birds.

I'm glad this turned out to be a very enjoyable series! I was very skeptical at first but I knew during the earlier episodes, when Hime detailed the specifics of Brain Burst, that some thought has gone into this.

Noumi was a formidable villain and it's been a while since I've felt this amount of hatred for the bad guy before. Good portrayal of him. It was a nice twist by Chiyu to give Haru the edge like that, it's a good thing she never defected. Loved Hime as always, she can do no wrong. I thought it was a strong cast of characters overall. They're pretty different to one another and it was a joy to accompany them every week.

The upbeat soundtrack was fitting too. Accel World is a show with all the bells and whistles attached and it shows this off all the time. OP and ED's were great and I especially love second closing song.

I felt that this episode is a tease more than anything. I didn't feel incredibly satisfied at the conclusion and only wanted more of it. Plenty hints of whats to come filled the latter half and I'm still wondering about BB's purpose and Haru's quest to reach level 10.

Apart from that, it was great entertainment. 8/10. Would love a second season.

I'd say this episode was done Great! here are my thoughts:

* Raker and Hime's reunion struck me the hardest, I really want her to join Nega Nebulous too

* Gale Thruster + Wings + TransAM effect = EPIC, is what sums it all when looking at how badass Haru was when he flew at supersonic speeds like that

* Noumi, I much as I really don't dislike you personally, you deserved getting kicked hard for all the mess you've done LOL but seriously I expected a king fight in this season

* Even though Sunrise pretty much wraps it up, I still hope a second season comes, Haru is still level4-5 by now and that's still far from NN's goal to reach level 10

* The Hug scene of Hime and Haru is pretty cute, LOL Haru instantly becomes a DFC fan because of her :P

* Sunrise did a great job in the animation quality, nothing less than expected, and yes AW > SAO when it comes to that :) and oh do I have to say Horizon's animetion is also miles better than SAO? :D XD

* Suddenly the Chiyu hatred here had cooled down, but I was actually starting to boil up in rage when she heals Taker again, but hell this is anime, and anime/manga/LN authors love trolling us with plot twists :D not that we anime fans are not used to it anyway :) sill though I still find her a hindrance to the HimexHaru buildup.

* Raker's real life appearance is always epic win to me. despite appearing only twice in the entire show, hopefully she'll have more screentime should S2 comes (well that depends on how good the sales are)

* The aftermath scene after Dusk Taker's taken down, I LOLed at Chiyu and Taku missing arm/s the scene's quite hilarious to look at :P

* if not for the frustrating episodes since Noumi's introduction, AW could've been the best Anime of the season for me, but thanls to that It can't beat Horizon in any way now

rating 8/10 to me :) Memorable OSTs, Excellent Animation, Average OP/ED, Mixed feelings with the characters, slow paced plot which is imho bad for an action anime like this

@RandomStuff
If AW proved to be a success in terms of sales, we'll surely get a glimpse of S2 on Late December/ January or March for sure

Final Episode Reaction:-

SEE YOU IN HELL, DUSK TAKER.

Although Dusk Taker has been defeated THANK GOD the nightmare is over (That prick Nomi just lost his memory at the end because of Brain Burst), but some loose ends & unfinished business everywhere!!

BLACK VICE HAS GOT AWAY!!? DAMN IT!! THIS ISN'T OVER YET!

I mean Seriously folks, WHO IS THE MYSTERIOUS BLACK VICE ANYWAY?! GOD THE INSANITY!! WHY DID HE GOT AWAY?! IT CAN'T BE ENDED JUST LIKE THAT, FOR GOD'S SAKE!!

This is it, folks.

THIS SHOW ISN'T REALLY OVER. I never thought Accel World is all about Insanity, twisted & Unexpected 'mind games' everywhere during the second half of the episodes (Never thought my theory as I've been told was true before the ep airs). I mean talked about getting my friggin nerves all the time. If you excuse me, I think I'm gonna calm down for a while (SAO is still ongoing).

More on that (Ramble) later, folks.

Ijust had so much fun watching accel world, I definitly must say I prefer this to Sword Art Online it wasn't the most complex mature Shonen but it isn't trying to be it was just so much fun to watch and the soundtrack was just awesome at many parts, not to mention the animation by sunrise was really nice the only real problem I has was Haruyuki's design and that is from the novels and I really did get used to it very early on.

Hey hey hey now.. SAO is pretty awesome in itself don't be hatin!:)

As for Accel World... it started off very well the first 5 or so episodes when he got his wings and then started to lag... but they ended up pulling it back together so I'm glad I watched it through and through 8/10

Now we never know who's that guy with a hat at the end of EP21 & EP22.

I was supposed that is that really Nomi himself?
Or could be someone else? #Sarcasm

And GODDAMN that Black Vice has got away. that was just random & unexpected.

I mean Who is he, really?! I mean come on! It could be end right there as well NOT just Nomi!! THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Megumi's reaction to seeing Haru as her train was departing was priceless. It kind of makes me wonder what way Kuroyukihime swings. Maybe deep down, she is so attracted to Haru because of how girly he acts and she wears the pants in their relationship.

Actually i'm gonna stop talking shit about Haru and give him his props. At the end he finally manned up a little. I was fearing that we might get a "Fairy Tail" ending but it was just right. I may not have hated Noumi as much as most but i took alot of satisfaction in watching him squirm in his final moments. It was a fantastic series finale and overall despite my issues with some of the cast, i did enjoy the ideas at play and overall the story very much even if it seemed disjointed at parts.

I doubt things will be ending here so now begins the patient wait for the second season. Until then there's the OVA to look forward to.

Black Vice got away, but at least so far he seems to be someone with more stable mental condition than Noumi.

Well, even if they killed him, they'll need to repeat it for god knows how many times before he's uninstalled.

OT question:
- Burst Linker can only invite one other player (population growth graph is linear)
- Everyone started with not so big pool of points, reduced when upping level, using skill, doing burst link, etc
- Winning a fight moves around 10-20 points between them
- Hunting field monster usually has very low or even negative gain unless they're someone like the green king

Not stated, but the level 8-9 probably has points of at least 5 digits aren't they ? Maybe even higher.

Is it ever explained in the novel how they accumulate so much if population of the Burst Linker is implied to be very small compared to the general population ?

There's your answer.
Even if the payout is low or negative(via getting killed by them), the monsters are the only way to replenish Burst Points inside AW as players only give out limited points since they're also a limited source. Monsters respawn everytime and they give out Burst Points.

5/10 as a whole, it was a fairly generic battle Shounen but at least the adaption wasn't as retarded as SAO. Proof that an adaption should take things slowly and not rush through important arcs.

Not just from being killed

CMIIW
- Entering unlimited field need 10 points.
- Monsters often need to be defeated in group hunting. Points got distributed.
- Using skill when fighting monster consume points.

So there's still big chance that they'd spent more points to defeat the monster than what they get.

Yeah, that the reason why I'm so upset about NOT just despite what happened in most of episodes which it's all about RAGE & DESPAIR (Sword art online much?)! It should be ended right here alongside with Noumi!

Will we ever see him again?!
