Time to kick some Noumi ass, this time Accelerated World style and ahh, great to see a familiar face on the bike again from the pilot episode.

And god damn..Dusk Taker, taking everything from Haru. I swear, he's going to get the ass kicking that he deserves later on.

Dusk Taker... he stole Haru's wing and made it in his style. So that arm was a stolen one, too. Now Haru had to to as that kouhai said, a servant.

Taku and Haru had argument for childhood girl, and what he cannot tell him and Kuro.

He's thinking about deleting brain burst and buy the newly released game, but decided to do servant work, and his first opponent is the rider guy. Haru is giving up fast, and he gave it draw and invited him to meet a person, who had wing before Haru. lol @ his English-Japanese lines. His "parent", Sky laker, and girl on wheel...

It seems like the talk is making Haru "imagine" for the wing and get "it" "back" next ep.

The new OP really did its part well. In case no one noticed, SC didn't open his wings once in the new OP while Noumi's avatar has the dark wings. Good work, Sunrise.

And fuck you Noumi. Fuck you. You'll get yours later. For now, Haru moping and whining. He got over it quickly though.
And Ash Roller is freaking awesome. A real bro.
And finally Sky Raker is here. And it's Endo Aya voicing her.
Next episode starts the training period. And some more exposition. Gonna be fun.

Someone said we'd be raging this episode but instead I'm seriously revolted. Haru's attitude is so disgusting... Keeping Taku in the dark is not only stupid but also disloyal, he's putting him at a great disadvantage.

Who cares about Noumi, he's just a pathetic coward, Haru is the real problem. Damn, Haru is so lucky Ash turned out to be such a nice guy.

Bleurgh, rant's over, now I'm off to puke.

Ash Roller is really amusing!! Ash Roller excellent distinguishes hostility and rivalry. He wants to get fun from the game.
Sky Raker appeared! Legendary, ICBM, "iron fist".

They might not be related but I can't help but connect this episode to the episode 15 of Guilty Crown.

EP. 15 of GC is the one that made Shu snap and go rage mode...
while the EP. 15 of AC made Haruyuki snap and became hopeless.
They both became miserable in the 15th episode.(Same seiyuu for main character too)

Nice to see Ash Roller again. Enemies of today is your friend tomorrow...
We might see another boring training arc, like we see in a lot of anime... in order for Haruyuki to get his confidence and self esteem back. Hope the next episode would be interesting.

I thought this episode was completely revolting. I don't understand how something this major happens to someone that involves their best friend and refuses share it with his other best friend. If Taku didn't approach him its one thing, I can understand not being able to bring up what happened, but if your best friend, which the show made a big deal about rebuilding their relationship, asks you what is wrong, Haru should be able to tell him something. It may have been difficult to talk about and he may have hid part of the truth, but he could've given Taku at least a warning. The way it played out was so stupid. It infuriates me to the bone. What was the point of becoming friends again? How does Haru think that one person could control their entire group? Taku isn't in danger at the moment and (let's pretend) he is the only one who can protect Chiyuri. How do you not say something when confronted? Standing by so both of them could get abused makes no sense. Even if Haru was to face the pain from telling, at least there would be someone to look out for her. I've loved the show up to this point and I'm sorry I'm ranting, but this episode really irked me.

I felt the same way. Just when i thought he was turning the corner and becoming a decent character. They pulled out this episode. It was so hard to watch Haru turn into a sniveling crying little bitch. Worst of all he turned on Taku as well accusing him of trying to NTR Black Lotus.

But then again the story itself is getting ridiculous. The ability to steal someone's abilities for an unlimited amount of time? yeah, can you say way too Fing overpowered even for a fantasy world.

Good episode,Haru "Bitch mode" Activate!!

So Dusk Taker ability is to "take" things and stole Haru wings,beyond how asshat he is not just by making Haru enter bitch mode again also what he did to Chiyu is even worse!!! HE WILL PAY!!!

Beyond that most of the episode was Haru being a bitch,first being a dick to Taku not only keeping him out of the loop(worst idea ever as always "The "brave" are brave until the coward wants"),then saying he will take Chiyu and then even saying he wants to take Hime from him...that punch was well deserved.

Then he bitch that cant do anything without his wings,thankfully Ash is freaking awesome bro and its going to help him!
Must said him 2 finger Haru was the best of the episode!!

LOL the censors XD

And Sky Laker makes her appearance!! Seems next episode is Training time!! And maybe more Haru being a bitch....cant wait!!

BTW FALCON PUNCH!!

Man why does Haru have to be such a bitch all of the time?! I mean yeah, having your signature move and characteristics stolen from you does indeed suck, but you're not supposed to give up all hope! Your supposed to rise above adversity and never give up and all of that other good shonen stuff! Did the Shinigami captains in Bleach give up when the Quincey stole their Bankai?! NO! And look what happened to them! Well, Byakuya got scared and was then significantly pwned..........BUT STILL! ARGH! Stop pissing me off Haru!

Hopefully Sky Raker will be able to snap him out of his funk next week. And Ash has gained some serious likeage points in my book this episode. He's one cool dude! lol.

GOD! This episode was annoying, Haru bitching here, and then there, come on! I don't like reading the manga ahead of the anime, since it gives less suspense, but this one I got to! I had to read Haru's training session, because, I want to at least a scene of less arguments, too much! Still enjoyable I guess.

Another great episode that feels so short. Poor Haru, and the hardship will still continue, but at least we will see a bit of turnaround next episode.

episode 15.

Ugh….well, this episode marks the most times in recent memory that I've yelled at my laptop screen and it wasn't because of a game. and worst part is? Nomi had nothing to do with it. Haru annoyed the SHIT out of me this entire episode. I mean…uragh…

The only things that made me not hate this completely was:

Taku giving haru a VERY WELL deserved punch to the face, and ash's entire re-appearance, I will quote:

"SUCK IT! Giga suck it! No, terra suck it, dumbass!" Never has an old fodder villan talking down on the MC felt so fitting and well deserved.

Needless to say I didn't care for this week much, and really hope haru gets his shit together soon, he annoyed me more than in the begining!

You didn't piss me off as much this time, but nomi, you can still eat a dick and die.

Pretty nice episode here.

-I felt really bad when Chiyu and Haru started crying, eff you Nomi >:(!.

-The music that played during Sky Laker's home was really nice.

- Taku's falcon punch sent Haru flying LOL.

- Also....I felt as if Haru was acting like Shu from Guilty Crown...ironically both have the same voice actor lol...

Taku definitely must get in action, he deserves it. But that was definitely one of the more emotional episodes this season. It was pretty intense when Haru lost and was crying with Chiyu. Dusk Taker is a good character but all the distress he is causing everyone is so unfair. Even worst, Taku and Haru were supposed to have made up but Haru still even now harbors these emotions about him that he ought to have even gave up. Making Taku feel all bad and even to the point of crying was really too much for me for that scene. I really hope they make up fast, as Taku is ready and willing

The scene in the OP makes sense now. Ash is a really cool character and all his scenes were fun and nice inspiration moment. I cant wait to see what Sky Laker says

Long ago I was told "Accel world is just a dump for Kawahara's bad ideas, don't expect much of it" and I can deeply understand the meaning of that sentence now.
As much as the first few episodes were interesting, the show got worst and worst and worst until it finally reach the state it is in now.

This might sound harsh said like that but I do not hate the show, it is still a little over average but it's sad to see a show that I had expectation for to fall this low.

This ^. Although I find Accel World to be great from the start, I was kinda disappointed that the anime would only have 24 episodes, and from the way things are going, it would only up to book 4 + side story. I really really wish for 2nd season!

Yup,it's confirmed.Nomi (I'm gonna refer to him from now on as Makoto #2) is the 2nd anime character I dislike.Not hate,I still hate yet to find a character hate.But I really do dislike Makoto #2.
And Haru,he did somethings this episodes that made me go "WTF,man?Really?".Especially during the talk with Taku.The man was trying to help & you randomly start attacking his feelings?You're attacking the wrong man,PUNCH MAKOTO #2 IN THE FUCKING FACE!!Hell,make your weight & drop your ASS ON HIS FACE,Kung Fu Panda style!
Oh god,where did that rant come from?

This episode just enraged me until Ash Roller started being a bro. Although I kind of understand Haru getting depressed from losing what made him special it bugged me how he forgot about everything he did BEFORE getting his wings. Especially since Kuroyukihime chose him when nobody knew he'd be getting wings in the first place. His conflicting speech and thoughts when talking to Taku made me think it might've been because of the armour of catastrophe though.

That Sky Laker. The huge contrast in scenery from the barren wasteland to the top of the tower was great. Sky Laker's appearance was also a nice contrast from the other characters this episode.

Yes in the following,

I find it fascinating the scenery itself.

Shame no one remarked the following,

that is reference to Metal Slug. Albeit changed a lot it refers to it quite well. Seems it still remains a popularity at the end.

Google Metal Slug if you don't know the game. Might be fun to play it.

Wow....I guess most of you overlooked Haru's over-confidence of winning that he overlooked a simple punch to the face when Noumi was on the ground. Noumi had 10% HP left! Haru shouldn't of paid attention to Noumi as well. He triggered the trap without properly cleaning up....He screwed up giving the the silly Noumi troll more food to feast on.

And ya, I'll agree that Haru was pathetic, but that is what bullying does to you. I can only defend him to a certain degree so I won't do it fully so I'll have to mentally kick Haru's ass, or at least quote "Giga Suck it! Tera suck it dumbass!"

Now then, time to wait till episode 16 to see if he mentally matures once again.

Haru started acting like Neo Nazi JeShus, Taku went "BOOM GAI PUNCH MOTHAFUCKA" *Haru hits the ground lightning bolt* "Y U HIT ME TAKU WAIT ME SAY SORRY" "SORRY HARU".

That's how I've seen it, and I'm proud of myself. It's understandable with his inferiority complex that if he losses everything that made him get a little more self confidence he'll fall down pretty hard. I suppose Nomi knows a bit about his problems, so it was easy for him to figure out what to do to him.

Ash Roller is da bro, he respects (somewhat) even his enemies, and see them as bros, he has my respect.

4/5 because he went all like "IM BLIND CANT PUNCH" when Nomi was 10% HP tho.

Everytime something bad happens to Haru he goes back to his shell. Ugh its hard to watch when he acts like this. Thank god Ash turned out to be such a cool and nice guy, deciding to help Haru when he's down rather than taking advantage of him.
