Accel World

Accel World

Today, I would like to introduce to you a new anime. The genre of this anime are sci-fiction, fantasy and romance. The setting is in a high school. The main character are Haru and Kuroyuriihine, male and female respectively. Haru is a short fat little boy and was frequently bullied by his classmate. In the school network, he feels safe and shows his anger towards the bully by playing squash. He played squash very well. However, one day, he lost a game. It was Kuroyuriihine that won in the match. She was very impressed by his reaction speed and decided to invite him to a game, Brain Burst. It is a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online (VRMMO).

This anime revolves around Brain Burst. This game has the ability to accelerate a human’s thinking process to a point that it feels like time and space stops. It is very interesting to have the ability to accelerate human brain. I often put myself in the character’s shoes and imagine myself in the game. Perhaps in the future, there will be the Virtual World where people are immersed in it. Not just by living, but by playing and working in it.

The design of the characters are good in general. They used radicals and the lighting to depict the scene and the effect, showing the feelings of the character or the situation. The plot is similar to Sword Art Online. The story also shows the game (VRMMO) in a special way. The way to win to the game is to defeat all the King in the game (all the level 9) to reach level 10. Winning the game is important to Kuroyuriihine as she wants to know the purpose of the game. In her journey towards it, Haru was introduced to the game met her friends and foes. Will she be able to know the purpose of the game? Will she succeed in her finding?
