I hope he stops whining already by the next episode, it's probably not gonna happen but I'll keep wishing anyway. I wish they accelerate the slow character development too. Me and my goddamn wishes... oh by the way, I think it was a good episode.


After this he rarely whines anymore. All next episodes is just pure awesome IF it follows the manga and the LN.

The behavior of the MC still irks me, but at least I don't get the urge to smash my monitor anymore, though Kuroyukihime helps out a lot. The ending was especially to my liking, Chiyuri vs Kuroyukihime, bring it on! 4/5, probably better than the first episode.

This episode only took my positive impression of the first episode and improved it! I love that he gets totally pwned in his first fight! (Of course, knowing about the fighting might have been nice...) The fight scenes were very well done, but the scenes with Kuroyukihime were the real meat of this episode! Her motivations are still way up in the air. Why exactly is she bringing Haruyuki into this Burst Link world? She pretty much states that she needs him to do something for her, but what is it?

The bit about the avatars being created by the program analyzing the user's subconscious is wonderful! I look forward to some revelations about characters from that! When Kuroyukihime told him that her fighting avatar that the program created had to be deleted because it was hideously ugly, that spoke volumes to me about her character! She seems perfect on the outside, but on the inside, she seems to have some very similar problems to our young protagonist. Otherwise, how would her subconscious generate a hideously ugly avatar? (The other option is that she is actually a hideously ugly person inside, in which case, she is probably using him like a rented plaything.) The section where they talk about "the distance between them" is classic. I loved the entire exchange.
I especially loved what she told the other student when they came out of the direct link.
Epic! The end foreshadows some excellent character interaction ahead! Chiyuri and Kuroyukihime seem to be about as much polar opposites as two girls can be!

Loving it so far. Very much liking the whole virtual fighting game concept with the different levels, armor and attack types!

Now everybody thinks he turned her confession down and Chiyuri's getting jealous now too! xD

Kuroyukihime makes this all worth it.
I think everyone is too focused on the main character's appearance. I find that his personality is more aggravating in the first episode.
Hopefully, he casts aside his lack of confidence, lack of self-esteem, perceived lack of ability. From the obvious shounen vibes, I can assume he will.

So fat boys don't have a right to have friends? That's discriminating against them.

I am thinking that too. OCing a computer is fine cause if it breaks another part is OK but not sure with Neurolinkers. I do think it's just the Neurolinker itself that breaks. Thus no problem to your brain. Not sure of the long-term effects. Seems not to be the case over a span of years so far in the anime. Since some players have been playing it for some and the program is around for some time.

Looking pretty good! I'm having a little trouble feeling/understanding why Haru feels so indebted to Kuroyukihime. I understand she gave him Brain Burst but just how has that affected him so much?

"You don't understand how fearful it is, to walk under the eyes of someone like you, who has everything."
Beautiful dialogue.

But also there was some awkward dialogue "How shall we perceive your relationship with the gentlemen here?" That is strange coming from a middle schooler. Maybe it was just the way the sub group subbed... I don't know.

I am eager to see Kuroyukihime's Accel World original form.

This is reminding me of Highschool DxD a little, but this show is already 100x's better.

Wonder when they will reveal why Haru is acting so... cold to Chiyu and his other friend.

Onto episode three!

This show shows at lot of potential, especially using a game to affect the world. But the biggest problem is that Haruyuki is weak and relies too much on a girl that he barely knows. On the other hand they said that the avatar is based on your inner weaknesses so there is a good chance that his character will become stronger and he seems to be smart when it comes to rpgs. For now I guess I'll keep watching.

Not bad second episode a bit on the casual side but well still decent, the pace is also quite nice, but well I do hope he'll become a bit less insecure because this is just starting to get annoying like with that end!

Either way nice episode lets see what's next!

Wow that episode was pure awesomeness O_O

Especially, fight with Haruyuki and Ash Roller. Lol I wonder why he is called Ash haha. But CGI was pretty and that Silver Crow's design really like it. I thought this could be first terrible presenting mecha, but I was wrong.

Those motorbike effects fire and thunder clashes together UBER Good stuff. So Brain Burst is like Multiplayer game like Street Fighter only difference it's virtual game with reality put on it. And finally Brain Points got explained too, I was wondering that...And those slow-motion things nicely done with animation.

One thing definitely suprised me, Haruyuki is pretty awesome guy for not giving up and he even thought great plan. And Romance between Haruyuki and Kurohime is only going to probably get sweeter. Aww that speech they were having in that day area was so emotional. This was definitely good episode for Haruyuki and Kurohime and it was basically their trust to each other and Haruyuki to be recognize to Kurohime. Nice character development there.

So there is many opponents probably Haruyuki is going to face.

So we going to have Girl vs Girl, OMG, that's going to be nasty :DD But fun to probably watch.

I hate how these hot girls in anime always tease guys by choosing the most unlikely guy to be their "boyfriend." I hate it even more that she chose Haru who has nothing that stands out as good in him.

Pretty awesome fact about the bike or in general vehicles with that type of drive train. It's going to be hard to decide which is better between SAO and Accel world. The girl just teases Haru a lot, but she's the hottest girl in school so she probably does that just for fun. I have a feeling next episode is a duel of girls to decide Haru's fate.

I really liked this episode. It was dooper cool when he was the Silver Crow but when he returns to normal I can't help but laugh because he reminds me too much of Cartman from South Park XD
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

You know, I woulda bought into the melodrama if losing all your points meant something serious, like real death. But all it does is uninstall the program permanently? That's nothing.

Still somewhat interesting.

That's not all there is to it, but you don't find out about the other major consequence until later. And as you'll see from other burst linkers, they are addicted to the game, and the power that comes with it. Would you really want to lose that power? Especially if you didn't have much else going for you? Accelerating is a power rush.

It depends on what you want out of a show. Character development and a slick, well-put-together plot are the main draws here, as is the well-put-together story world. It also has elements that draws gamers in.

It has plenty of pretty girls, too, if that's what you want.

Haru himself, is a little hard to watch early on, but he gets much better. He's positively badass by the anime series end.

I just started watching and I'm already annoyed on how he whines about things... and I even let it slip that he's a fat mc guy... really ignored that fact... since some of other guys dropped, didn't watch this cause he is fat... and again I ignore that... that's why I'm watching this... I hope their are no other circumstances that he makes me annoyed of him by being a whiny ass mc guy... seriously...
