For me it's more nitpick then anything. As long as they don't destroy/condense too much I won't won't really hold them accountable, after different media has sort of takes.
Take Oreimo for example, as much as I hated that the anime stuff pretty much killed Kirino's dere and sensible side or that Ayase is stripped to a simple yandere. I still find Oreimo anime to be enjoyable and definitely one of the best of the season if not the year and that is even with the debacle that was episode 6-7 (I think, the ones based on v3 material).

Sigh, it's disappointing to know that there will be many others who would give the show a miss just because of the MC's design.
Admittingly, I was equally apprehensive at first when I started on the manga and novels, but the story and the MC really grew on me. Hope more people can look past the design because Accel World really is a pretty fun series. |

well his fat and obviously getting bullied. Being stereotype fat which is the centered of bullying in the school and probably the black haired girl or kuroyukihime gives him a chance to change or reveal his real self. His real self is probably a dumb fat useless bum but his inside is a hard steeled knight. The avatar in accel world reflects yourself (probably)

It's pretty funny to me that the main reason that so many people are being turned off from this show is because of the fact that the MC is fat/chubby. Half of the people complaining about it are probably fat themselves...

Lol, exactly
It can be depending on the person and what they look like. Some people look to anime as a means of escape, and if the MC shares their own flaws, then that ruins the immersion. That's probably not the case here, though. Most people probably don't like Haruyuki because they genuinely find his design "ugly" to their tastes. That or they fit in with the majority of society that believes that "anything fat is automatically undesirable" (aka closed-minded).

Which is surprising to me because Japanese women in general really don't have too much issues with fat guys (as long as you're not creepy) considering that many fat sumo wrestlers have hot wives and many fat comedians also have hot wives or known to be playboys as well. Seriously though, Haruyuki is the reason I started to read this LN because he is chubby and fat. I mean for all ACG keep trying to portray about how a main character is gentle, nice, despite been plain, 9 out of 10 has always being above average in their respective world. Hauyuki was a nice exception. After reading the LN, Haruyuki did grow on me as well as the awesome Kuroyuki-Hime who won me over.

Also, it actually makes sense for the MC to be angsty here. He's fat and gets bullied (two pretty common reasons for people to harbor angst). Shu is just a whiny, overly-indecisive brat.
