Shulk 8,623 Posted April 1, 2014 So... Yeah. I recently got back into an anime I watched a little bit of a long time ago, named Accel World. It's by Reki Kawahara, the same guy who wrote Sword Art Online. It's basically about a kid who's constantly bullied due to his physical appearance, and a girl who tells him that there's a way he can change his reality. The action's pretty good, and the story's well written. I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of SAO or the VR genre of anime, or just action fans who want something new. Neon Alley and Hulu have all of the subbed episodes, and a few of the dubs. I'm hoping that they release more of the dubs, since they just got those, and they're honestly pretty good. There's a lot of swearing (To a TV-MA point), but still, pretty good. 2 Taeyeon and Reyn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taeyeon 1,137 Posted April 1, 2014 In terms of how the story flows I prefer Accel World over SAO, I still like both equally though. Also have you read the Versue manga? (or was it a light novel) Where Kirito goes up against Silver Crow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that it'll meet my expectations though, considering it's by the same author as SAO. Also, there was a crossover manga? ._. Holy crap, I need to read that when I finish AW.

Actually Accel World is within the same universe of SAO but taking place I believe 20-30 years after though, really no real mentions about the events of SAO itself but they do give you something that connects the 2 when you watch Accel World it's hit and miss though so try to pay attention Also yea the mange cover is here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
