Review:

Accel World anime takes place in the future and it’s about a game. Before I’ve watched it a lot of people told me that it’s like Sword Art Online… I seriously don’t understand why they would say something like that. I mean I can’t seem to grasp the resemblance. With that being said let’s begin the review. The story of Accel World is beautiful, it shows determination, believing in friendship and the power of friendship. I really liked the fact that they showed the progress of how Haru(the main character) improved his skills and learnt about the game. I also love, the way they showed Kuroyukihime‘s kindness, compassion and loyalty towards her friends.
The surprising part about the show for me was the fact that there were more female player than male players… Or maybe they were trying to turn it into Harem… I guess I’ll never know. The characters were pretty awesome I must say. It was incredible to see Black Lotus in action. I also like the fact that the game is actually Mecha which makes the fights that much more fun to watch. I believe that Accel Wold is worth watching. Don’t put any expectations just enjoy the anime.

Overall Rate: 9/10
