I desperately hope that Haruyuki is not portrayed like Shu from Guilty Crown. I always look forward to how weak main characters can change for the better in the sense of being stronger personality wise and not strength wise. I mean he isn’t exactly that well off right now: low self-esteem, knocking away a basket full of lunch made for him, being looked down upon by basically everyone, and he is short in stature and is obese. I am also looking forward for Haruyuki to actually change into a well-respected main character that everyone would not hate on. What I am looking forward to, however, is how well they polish the idea of the challenger fighting and the purpose of the Accel World. Of course the idea of a virtual world with avatars are not uncommon as it is used quite a bit (Summer Wars). It is interesting that I am watching this after finishing Serial Experiment Lains not too long ago. However, the next day, as he was getting ready to leave for school, he opened his global net so his mom can give him his lunch money and after stepping out of the apartment complex, he gets initiated into battle as he witnesses his new avatar, the Silver Crow.
Before leaving, Hime told Haruyuki to not use the global net outside of the school. The bully who was harassing Haruyuki later gets provoked into hitting him, injuring Hime in the process which gets him expelled from the school. It is an interesting concept as the virtual accel world experiences 1000 seconds for every 1 second in the human world. Haruyuki gets introduced into the “Accel World” where he can accelerate himself. From there, Hime (short for Black Snow Princess) becomes interested in Haruyuki and introduces him to a program called Brain Burst. He later meets Black Snow Princess, the beautiful high school girl that is the object of everyone’s admiration. Every human seems to have na electronical object attached to their necks where they can give each other information or talk telepathically through a wire cord. In the virtual world, many people are represented by their avatars (in this case, Haruyuki is a pig). Haruyuki tries to escape the harsh reality that he deals with by playing and hiding in the virtual world. In the anime, it starts off by introducing Haruyuki Arita, a very, very short (and that’s being nice) and chubby high school student is a target for bullies. Regardless of what people say, I am actually looking forward to this show and I hope that the amount of haters for this show will later appreciate and enjoy the anime as it is. As a consequence, you have spawns of hatred that try their best to bash this show.
Seeing the main character be the object of envy for every non-attractive otaku really nails a lot of people. I jumped into this anime fully aware of what I was dealing with since I did read the manga beforehand a little bit.
