Accel World - Anime General Discussion

Dusk Taker attempted to steal it, noting its power and appearance, yet he wasn't able to because it was a part of Cyan Pile's psyche. That represented an important part of Taku's character development, but it also represented something else: that Noumi couldn't take everything, and that for his seemingly invincible avatar and ability, he was very limited in other ways (personality, psychology).

Takumu's character development means little if it never allows him to accomplish anything. His sword was enough to best Noumi at swordmanship, but Noumi won the duel when he stopped fighting like a swordsman.

Make no mistake, Takumu LOST that fight, and if not for Silver Crow managing to break free and Black Lotus arriving, Cyan Pile would have been erased from the Accelerated World.

And Cyan Pile has not accomplished even one thing of note since that time.


It was completely unimportant that Takumu revealed a limitation to Demonic Commandeer, considering that Dusk Taker was erased in the very same battle where that information was made clear. Since the information could never be useful again, it wasn't very valuable.

It certainly wouldn't have been useful against Silver Crow, had Crow fought Dusk Taker from the start. If Taker couldn't steal the Pile Driver, there's no way he could steal the Gale Thruster, and Crow had nothing else worth stealing.


And I could be remembering things wrong, but I believe Noumi himself had already said he was limited in the number of stolen powers he could retain, or at least implied as much.

I at least remember being totally unsurprised when Cyan Pile announced that fact. Indeed, I was more surprised that Noumi seemed to have forgotten the limits of his own power.

Mine too. They shouldn't have put Kuroyukihime on that banner if there wasn't a single thing to do with Accel World at the festival.

Well, maybe one day...

Well there's still the Spring Festival,so we can probably(as small the chances its going to be announced because of Love Live) hope S2 is going to be announced there.(and maybe along with Index III,Damn you Miki!)

Accel World is the only Anime I've ever watched and it was fantastic I was so hopeful especially because of the posters. I can't believe there wasn't even a single thing there for it.

What is Love Live anyway and what is going on with it?

Damn... I didn't thought that my worst fear would be written in a single sentence.

Why would they include KYH in the poster if S2 isn't coming, or was there some announcement in its manga or LN.

Now I'm curious about Love Live, what is its genre anyway?

This.


I don't see why you guys hoped for AW2.

I don't want to come off sounding hostile but this post just screams ignorance.

First, how about you quote the whole message instead of cherry picking?

「アクセル・ワールドのTVアニメ2期は私自身も常々実現してほしいと思っているが、制作を担当する「サン ライズ第八スタジオのスケジュールが”ラブライブ！”によって当分空かない」

「我々もアクセル・ワールド2期を熱望しているし、ファンの皆さんも同じ想いであることは届いているので、 がんばります」

Second, keep in mind this is 3 months ago, and implying Sunrise Studio 8 can only handle one project at once.

A single movie isn't going to monopolize a studio's resources. Furthermore, they were able to produce Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere II and Accel World simultaneously, which suggests that Love Live probably isn't the sole limiting factor.

We have to realize that the producer's comment was a convenient and simplified explanation (easy for anyone to understand with some bits of truth, but it's probably not a great reflection of the actual situation) that shouldn't be taken at face value. Nevertheless, it told us what we needed to know: that we have to wait longer for Accel World 2.

[Redoxide]

Well anyway what would be the next most likely time for them to announce a season 2?

[Pablete]

@Kunagisa

.And your point is?


We got what we wanted through the meaning behind the words: they have in mind doing AW2, not when though.

So, try to be polite for the next time, okay?

In addition to what TJR said, Studio 8 also did Nerawareta Gakuen, which is a movie, at the same time.

You asked for why we hoped for AW2. I, with the help of TJR, explained it.

So you know they have in mind of doing AW 2, but you still didn't get why we we hoped for AW 2 even though the studio in the past already has already proved they're more than capable of doing more than one TV series at once? Not to mention there's a time gap between the previous announcement and the current. A lot can be done in a quarter of a year, and that this event is the most likely they'll announce more anime adaptations?

I fail to see how I was rude, as I said your post is ignorant, not you as a person is ignorant, which means I wasn't employing any sort of ad hominem. If you feel offended due to whatever reasons, I will apologize then (no sarcasm).
