Spoiler for Comparison to Accel World:

Oh, in their own way I think both series are totally wish fulfillment fantasies, if that's what you mean by "chuunibyou." And to be honest, I never liked Kirito's character that much on its own. What I like is the whole KiritoxAsuna interplay. That works great IMO. Like that moment when they go against the Skull Reaper together. You can't tell me you don't feel anything at that moment. And it's powerful because it carries the sum of everything that happened between them till that point.

But that's just what I like, and there's no accounting for taste so...
