So even if KYM is in coma. She will be force to duel but since she can't fight and in comatose. She will just lie there and the opponent will just kill her again and again.

Interesting anime to be frank I'm surprised. At first ep I thought it would be some decent stuff but then I got a nice surprise. This one will probably be one of the better of this season. For sure its story is quite worthy, however we will see how things will work out after ep 4. I hope it will stay good or get better.
Ohhh and wonder how long will the anime be, aka how many novel volumes will they animate. Considering that novel is 11 volumes long atm. Ad BT is at 2vol fully translated and vol 3 half translated.

concerning the conversation earlier on the possibility that KYH is just fooling haru...
the real problem isnt that he's short and fat, its the fact that it came this soon. personally, even if haru was good/normal looking and just had a lot of self-depreciation, I would be uneasy with this kind of development. cause looking at the romance development, they're pretty much in the endgame with it. KYH already admitted that she loves him, they will more or less be an official couple when she wakes up. then what? they're at the peak now, even if they're relationship was hardly developed. see the problem? with this, they can already be a couple even if they didnt really bond much. just like that. there's nothing blocking it from happening. no rivals, no overprotective parents, no species boundary, no physical barrier, etc. they are now a couple, before people could get comfortable enough at this possibility. and the possibility that they wont make a couple this soon? well, they can make her stay in coma for a long time but its just delaying unless we get a rival. they wont be able to dodge this unless they tarnish one of the two. either haru would feel so unworthy that he rejects her, or at least says he needs to get better, he'd still be similar to ignoring KYH words this ep which would make him appear negative to plenty of fans. or KYH was just manipulating him at this time but then really falls for him later. this one will still have plenty of fans be angry at her, even if she will be redeemed and falls for him later. all in all, this one speeds up the romance process, which imo should be developed slowly but steadily(unless your in an harem/ecchi anime, and even then there are some really questionable developments). dont get me wrong though, this episode was pretty great and would have made me like the pairing... if it was in a later episode so that we can see their relationship grow into this. |

Oh yeah. We have a good monomyth here. We're at Crossing the First Threshold now since our hero has decided to take up the mantle and protect his princess. So far, things have been pretty steady with the monomyth, no skipped steps either.

Haru: Kuroyukihime, how is your wound? Kuroyukihime: Huh? Well, don't mind about that small details. It's just a flesh wound. Haru: But you just got rammed by a car..a freaking car. Kuroyukihime: As I said, ignore that..Let's focus on real matter. Should we? Haru: Don't tell me you were staged that accident too? Kuroyukihime: (damn it, he's sharp) Kuroyukihime: Haru, you think too much. Let's focus on Accel world matter first. The rest we can discuss on later. Last edited by Sixth; 2012-05-02 at 00:08. |

Not if it was a boxing match and she chose to climb into the ring, I wouldn't. Maybe if we were some kind of wrestling tag team?

Also, what is refreshing in this anime is that the confession happens early, and now we have the opportunity to see it develop further later on. In too many animes, the end game is the confession. Hence, people are accustomed to that. However, in a real relationship, the confession is just the beginning. There is so much that can be developed from there, and hopefully, this series will be able to tackle that. As for the ongoing discussion between Taru and Haru, I can only say, like I did before, that one is protecting and one is assaulting. Also, it really does depend on how their "discussion" goes before we can really judge them on their friendship. However, creating a backdoor into Haru's close friend Chiyuri's neural link and "possibly" peaking on her changing, or other things, is enough of a betrayal between the friends. Quote:

@noobita:
*snerk* really, betting on a series when you only have the anime as reference? I could make a killing by betting in this one... Accel World is also a LN series like 3 seasons worth of episodes ahead in content compared to the anime right now. You should be careful with series like this I'm surprised at how people are dead-set in believing KYH is just using Haru. Without using future events not shown thus far, is it so impossible to believe KYH value 'mental speed' more than physical appearance? That distaste for someone being short & fat can't possibly outweigh what she says in her own words, "heartbreak at seeing someone being so fragile" when he has another side that's very talented? It's not like Haru's a total prick undeserving of any girl either despite his issues, he cares about other people. Really now, is it unbelievable a girl can see past appearances and look at other qualities when it comes to someone else? |

I think it's more than that. KYH turning out to be a manipulator would put a more ambitious and darker spin on the story and even I can see the appeal of that. Plus there's an element of "so obvious it has to be red herring" and it doesn't help that they don't particularly find Haru likable. But really I don't think such a twist is even remotely likely or desirable given the tone of this series and it would be far too much of a contrast (This is definitely not a cynical story). Me thinks some people have simply been watching one too many Urobuchi Gen stories...

If anything, you are the one shouldn't post at this thread. You are the one who more likely going to destroy the fun of an anime discussion by leaving a hint or anything. I know that you are proud with your novel knowledge, but there is already a thread in manga section just exclusively for people like you. Please lurk at there. This will do a favor for anime watcher. There is a reason why mod don't tolerate any spoiler forms in this thread. Also, whether my speculation is wrong or not, at least I enjoy this series as an anime watcher, and I perfectly fine with it. |

well, true. but they still barely know each other, so confessing "I love you" is a stretch, even with the hints of affection. they didnt exactly have plenty of special moments to appeal with the fans for the pair is the reason its not accepted so. maybe if she was a childhood friend... *looks at OP song* ok perhaps its not too far-fetched... Quote:
having KYH be a manipulative character brings a certain kind of appeal. mind you, she can still be considered "good" though if it were implemented, but would severely drop her popularity for fooling a guy like haru(even if she might later really fall for him). and she hasnt exactly gotten enough limelight to be clear of the suspicion. just like how taku was so easily suspected by plenty of people here, KYH can be easily a suspect as well for we're still in ep 4. though im not in the "hates haru's appearance" bandwagon(but I still think they overdid it by making him the ONLY one with that kind of appearance so far. and giving him a pig avatar when most guys in his situation would wear something that's completely different from their real selves).

How people can still distrust her when she took what she knew was likely to be a fatal hit from a car in order to save Haru boggles my mind.

I will say this...the only thing that actually boggles my mind is how people still suspect that she set up the car accident. I understand every other point of view on most topics here...but that she set it up is one theory who's existence I cannot understand.
