Accel World's seventh Blu-ray volume has the image of a series of a series that has given up on itself - the front cover makes no effort to be visually attractive, it merely tosses some mizugi clad girls around.

First impressions stick and can be difficult to overcome, and perhaps the best candidate for this in recent memory is Accel World. Due to this, Accel World’s well developed aspects are often overlooked in favor of those who like to form unmovable opinions after only the first episode or two of a series. Unfortunately as [...]

The main male protagonist, made from chrome. A few months ago, the horror thriller anime Another wins the audition for this blog ‘Anime of the Year 2012’ title, and today its first challenge comes from a surprisingly good anime series, titled Accel World. Nevertheless, this anime failed to unseat Another from its title because of [...] Related posts: Review: World Destruction (ワールド・デストラクション ～世界撲滅の六人～) The main male protagonist and his future kidnapper a.k.a. the main female protagonist. Another effort to reduce my anime backlogs sees me watching yet another 2008 anime title titled World Destruction. Just like Ga Rei Zero reviewed in this blog before this one, this series has been rotting on my hard disk drive for years [...]... Review: The World God Only Knows II (神のみぞ知るセカイⅡ) The main male protagonist, still the best character in this anime. In my previous post, I’ve mentioned that I will add Gosick to replace either Fractale or Moshidora in the ‘Anime of the Year 2011’ audition, with the decision of ‘which one to be replaced’ to be made by the time this post was made.

Review: The World God Only Knows (神のみぞ知るセカイ) The main male protagonist, also the best character in this anime. 2011 starts with my review of the extremely high priority title The World God Only Knows, and with this entry, my plan to watch either Katanagatari or The Legend of Legendary Heroes will have to be postponed for a little bit. You will know [...]... Review: Kino no Tabi (キノの旅 – the Beautiful World) No animals were harmed in the making of this anime. A random anime I downloaded from KAA website, today will be a review of Kino no Tabi. Story:-This anime is similar with Eatman 98 in plenty of ways, only that this anime’s protagonist isn’t as cool as Bolt Crank and the stories isn’t as good. [...]... Review: Starship Operators (スターシップ・オペレーターズ) If the disappointing Monochrome Factor should be used as a poster boy as an exhibit about how filler episodes can ruin a series, the shorter anime titled Starship Operators shows why a filler-free title makes it much more pleasant to watch. This is a 2005 anime, therefore none of the ‘Anime of the Year’ title [...]...

There's been a trend recently for gameworld-based shows, and Accel World is the one that seemed to kick it off. Haruyuki, who is not what you'd call a charming hunk, has caught the attention of school goddess Kuroyukihime (real name not provided), but her attentions come with a catch - his services in the Accelerated World, where battles between online avatars can reap real-world rewards...

Mizugis are spewing forward with Accel World's second upcoming OVA - it seems the slab of pork is merely a grotesque joke of an appetizer for the main course of endless desserts coming in every color.

Accel World's fifth Blu-ray volume cover is wrong in every way - it has the sight of a sizable pig being crushed by mammary glands of a similarly hideous creature which is presumably intended to be a 2-D girl.
