So here comes the next season, and there are two decent shows that I can give a first impression of. (I also watched Zetman, and Ozma, they were bad. I’m not a snarky writer to entertain you with elaborate explanations … Continue reading →

Wish fulfillment is a staple of the anime industry, one that has defined it since its earliest days. With anime being stigmatized by association with the broad category of nerddom, it’s pretty much accepted that most anime protagonists, particularly those in light novel adaptations, are meant to be considerably average teenagers with no defining characteristics [...]

Folks, I have some righteous anger to direct toward E Minor. I know, I know–he’s a douche, but first, a little context. Accel World, one of the spring season’s latest anime, stars a socially awkward, wimpish protagonist. What’s new, right? … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Now that I’ve finally regained FTP access to the blog… SCREEN CAPS FOR EVERYONE ONE! By some stroke of luck, not one…but two episodes of Accel World have somehow been leaked. I’m not really complaining about it though, I’ve been itching to watch this series for a while now. The only thing that bugs [...]

Accel World's enigmatic and seducing butterfly has been spotted all over Japan as per some accelerated advertising campaign not normally seen with most anime series - being found in venues big and small.

Despite some other reviews I’ve read on this episode already, there are many mixed opinions on this show. Some thing it will be the show of the season and others seem to think it will be a total train-wreck. I, for one, believe the former rather than the latter. Synopsis: A pudgy little piggy and a beautiful [...]

Initial impression – the beginning of something really cool Spring 2012 to summer 2012 (24 episodes) (title synonym – Accelerated World) (more info) The concept of using a virtual world parallel to reality as a setting concept isn’t new territory.  From .hack//SIGN to Sword Art Online coming this July, this type of series has a [...]

This is a first impression post of Accel World, based upon the first two episodes.  Just as I stated in my season preview, this show turned out to be glorious eye candy. I love the colors and the character designs, and the whole show has a great sense of clean graphic composition. There was also [...]

Okay, well this caught me off guard a bit.  Accel World was supposed to come out next Saturday but it was released online yesterday and was subtitled today.  I thought I was going to have some more time to research the anime before I dived into reviewing this series episodically.  Well let’s get to it; [...]

So normally I wouldn’t write about 2 episodes at once but these were released together as a double episode so it just makes sense.   I’m getting a super shonen vibe from this and already more then willing to say this is the next Blue Exorsist, Beelzebub or Toriko. Now I can enjoy those to some [...]

Accel World Shu has come back as a little piglet… But unlike in Guilty Crown, his weak persona isn’t all that annoying because he has good reasons. I mean, he’s a short, fat kid and gets bullied at school. It’s understandable that he would start out with such low confidence. And quite honestly…I find him [...]

So Silver Crow and his maiden practice a bunch on this episode. There's also some action involved but is not exactly following the manga. Besides that, there's more character development and relationships. They also introduced more details about Accel World and how the combat system works. It's just kinda like Tron but imagine that there are no disks involved. Other than that, I have not much to s
