synopsis:
Haruyuki "Haru" Arita is a short, fat boy who is constantly bullied at the Umesato Junior High School which results in him having exceptionally low self-esteem. To escape the torment of real life, he logs onto the school's Local Network where he plays squash by himself and always gets the highest scores. One day, he checks the squash rankings to find his high score beaten by Kuroyukihime, the popular and attractive female Student Council Vice-President, who invites him to lunch the next day after she saved him from some bullies. Here Kuroyukihime introduces Haruyuki to Brain Burst, a secret program that is able to accelerate the human cognitive process to the point at which time appears to stop.
Ok, so here I am with another 2012 list of Anime, and I am glad to write about this. As my first impression of Accel World was of the character itself! Can you believe it? I mean for once it wasnt the typical good looking guy and so forth, it was a meek and timid guy called Haru who got my attention in this. To think his own appearance is what attracted me the most, and the Animation itself was one to look forward to.
The Anime itself was a fast paced and very informative show, that I really enjoyed. To be exact it's one of the fews that had me gripped, it was a fair battled amongst everyone and that as a battle it was determined who will win and not. The back story of all the characters were fresh and seen perfectly in tune with the series there was no plot holes. Everything was literally there in a silver platter, and i was really enjoying it. The music was amazing to the point where I cried with happiness. It was well tuned with the whole emotive presence of the characters themselves.
Of course with bullying comes the basis for Accel World which is overcoming painful experiences, making Haruyuki the perfect candidate for the protagonist of the series being labeled the school's biggest loser. The entire show is centered around a game program called Brain Burst, which is built on both the strengths and weaknesses of the human mind. Thus when introduced to the program by the lovely Kuroyukihime, our protagonist is given a means of coping with his lackluster life. Like many who are not terribly successful in the real world, Haruyuki clearly excels in the fantasy worlds, and it was Kuroyukihime's recognition of this fact that led her to him in the first place.
This show is the basis of Haru, overcoming his self pitiable appearance and actually having goals. He has in mind to overcome difficulties with the help of friends of course Kuroyukihime too. Who also becomes the biggest pillar of his support and affection. It seems the second part of the show shows that his ability and confidence takes on a 180 degrees turn and you can tell that he has become stronger. It's a place where he knows he can be himself and overcome anything.
overall, people might not like this but I am sure alot I know have truly enjoyed it. It's a show where the character design was impeccable and the music too. It's something I will probably watch again when I feel like it. Its fast paced and has the emotions with it engraved. I really enjoyed this show and its a show that people should watch. Give it a go you never know what you might love about it. Of course my minor problem was of Chiyuri and Taku, I didnt really like them they seemed to hold Haru back so much and he realized it. But the other two failed at that, they felt pity instead of giving him confidence and of course until later where Chiyuri became a bit more annoying. But you know minus all that I thought Haru learnt a lot of friendship, abilities and confidence grown all around all because of one pretty lady. Gotta love that butterfly loving chick, she herself is infatuated with Haru an thats a bigger bonus to the show, meaning appearance didnt meant jack all in this show for me.
I shall leave you with some songs ~
