Accel World - 24 (End) & Final Impressions

Kuroyukihime is such a smooth talker at times that I love her best when she's speechless and flabbergasted like this.

Accel World - 23

I love you, Kuroyukihime!

Accel World - 21 & 22

I'm so over this whole Nomi arc.

Accel World - 20

I just want to punch Nomi in the face every time he appears onscreen.  Which would be bad, you know, because I'd be punching my computer.  And I love my computer.  I do not love Nomi.

This week played out pretty much like I expected, in that Chiyu healed Nomi for her own reasons.  My hypothesis is that she has some sort of plan for defeating Nomi, but first she must make it seem like she's on his side.  I did not expect what I think is the latest incarnation of Chrome Disaster to make an appearance in Haru.  Seriously creepy.  And as for re-appearances, we get to see Niko again next week!

Accel World - 19

 
The connection between Hime's side arc and Haru's struggles with Nomi become clear as Black Lotus battles a Burst Linker named Sulfur Pot.

Accel World - 18

A Hime arc!  Looks like we won't be getting any answers to the Haru's current dilemma until the week after next since Hime's adventure hasn't finished yet.

Accel World - 17

Why, Chiyu, WHY??

Most of the episode was devoted to the battle between Nomi and Takumu and Haru.  I honestly don't have much to say, but it certainly was frustrating to see Chiyu heal Nomi just when Haru and Takumu have almost beat him.  I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and hope that she has a good reason.  Hopefully this rage-inducing arc will end soon!

Accel World - 15 & 16

Trying to get back on track with anime after a vacation is tough!

Accel World - 14

What a rage inducing episode! 

Accel World - 13

And the new arc starts with Chiyu joining Accel World as Lime Bell!

Accel World - 12

The battle this week was pretty intense, especially with Scarlet Rain's betrayal and the revelation that Cherry Rook, before becoming Chrome Disaster, was Scarlet Rain's guardian.

Accel World - 10 & 11

I gotta say, Accel World does cliffhangers extremely well!  Or horribly, depending if you are enjoying them or not.

Accel World - 09

That face!  That expression!  Those tears!  How can anyone not think Haru is adorable??!

Accel World - 08

Holy crap, Haru.  If it's one thing that he doesn't lack, it's dedication.  He's simulating getting shot - and does - all for the sake of getting faster!  That's insane!

Accel World - 07

Is Aqua Current's avatar supposed to be a weasel?  Ferret?  Groundhog?  Whatever it is, it's cute!  I especially like her glasses.

Accel World - 06

Nice aim, Chiyu!

Accel World - 05

Embarrassed Kuroyukihime is too cute!  And did they really have to end in another, albeit small, cliffhanger?  I hope we find out her real name soon - typing Kuroyukihime can be a pain!

Accel World - 04

This was probably one of the sweetest anime kisses I've ever seen!

Accel World - 03

Whew!  This episode was so chock full of information that it has my brain whirling!

Accel World - 02

The second episode continues where the first one left off, which was basically Haruyuki getting his butt kicked by Ash Roller.
