Awesome first episode, it is very interesting. I liked that popular girl with the black hair, she's really pretty and seems to be a really nice person.
Definitely looking forward to watching more!

Omg he actually looks super cute for some reason? The piggy avatar too.

This seems promising.

A very weird looking, silly eyes, round short body, and kind of annoying can get 2 girls to like him? Anime just set up an impossible standard for people *cries at the corner*

Quite interesting, this long haired girl. Pacing quite slow, but OK.

So, to sum up, the MC is a self-loathing, miserable asshole who constantly complains about how life sucks despite the fact that he has a good friend who is willing to help him out. He also complains despite the fact that he makes no effort to do anything about his problems (ie: go to the fucking gym or something rather than play squash in a video game all day) and then hits out at the one person willing to actually help him. Oh, and then the hottest girl in his school suddenly takes an interest in him and helps him out.

For fuck sake.

What the fuck is this main character is a fat blob? Is he from a different anime? Why he fuck is his character design different????

Is he a crossover from some 80's anime special that no one watched?

What the fuck Riot??

Idk how I feel about this, the main character is a fatass, a half pint, a coward, an asshole to his friend, is weak, and a looser. Could it get any worse? I am going to find it hard to want to root for the protagonist unless later in the plot he goes through many changes. Otherwise good episode but I hate the artwork for the main character and his background.
Dubbed anime is the best because you can wank without reading ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

1st episode has me interested and wanting to watch more.

It looks ok so far, hopefully the MC grows a lot and doesn't stay like this for too long.

I wanted to drop this show as soon as fatboy knocked the food out of her hand. I finish what I start though. Lol

That is one sad, miserable MC.

I get that he's fat and short, but why is his design the only one that's out of proportion and exaggerated? I mean, he looks like fucking Cartman.

Hopefully this is not as trash as SAO was.

Of course he would connect after he was explicitly told not to, dumbass.

Nice first episode. I kinda feel sorry for the MC. He has been through a lot. I mean, some people may disagree, but he has been bullied a lot. He practically gave up on school life. That's sad beyond imagination. He threw away the lunch made for him, because he never wanted anyone to feel sorry for him. I sympathize a lot with how he feels.

Sometimes, when there is really no way out, someone showing pity for you can only add salt to the wounds. Not only are you reminded again and again that you are helpless, but also it looks like they are mocking you.

Introduction to the Accel World was good. But MC should have waited till he got to school to go to global link. Seriously. "Don't open global link till you reach SCHOOL tomorrow" . Guess we see that he has got a challenge.

The animation was quite good. Nice to see a real world isekai connection like anime after a long time. I mean, usually protagonist either goes into another world or goes into another game, but this accel stuff reminds me of Inception. Nice.

Also LOL at the vice president teasing the MC. She is surely a pervert.

Oh, if you got a problem with the MC being fat and unattractive, go watch CLANNAD or any other series with generic MC for all I care.(Or watch Ore Monogatari if you don't think this could be successful) Also, if you don't like him for dropping the food, clearly you don't know what it is like to be bullied. Just see how quickly people lose their trust of friends once they are put in prison, with plenty of bullying and other stuff going on there.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

That was the first thing that stood out for me too. Perhaps the artist couldn't come up with a way that to draw a fat and short character while retaining the proportions of other characters and still be "cute" enough to be a likeable MC(??)?

Never had a chance to watch it back then, guess now i give it a try because Muse Asia airing it on YT starting today.

From the same author as SAO, i can see the similarity.

YES, Yuuki Kaji as the MC.

Interesting concept, that was a really good first episode.

Seems like a sword art online rip off. The main character (fat kid) is a loser and a piece of shit to the only girl that would talk to him on the first episode. Also worships the virtual world which makes no sense with an avatar of a pig. If this is a game can't you make yourself into anything you want??? Idk.
Friend recommend it because I want to try something new. Going to keep watching to see if it gets any good.
