I have to give it a 10/10, for reasons others have said here. The way that personal failings and weaknesses are so well woven into the plot, makes the writing here superior to others series like SAO. The characters feel more real to me than anything else.

As the poster above said, the technology aspect is awesomely handled, truly developing this world realistically. I can see us heading in this direction, and the social aspects that come about through technology are addressed. A lesser series might just ignore those aspects and focus solely on the technology, and the average viewer wouldn't even notice. Accel World goes the full mile.

If there are downsides, it is now that my bar for judging a series has been raised considerably, and that this series isn't over yet... need more! So I might have done 9/10, but this series gets a bonus point for daring to use a non-typical anime protagonist and doing it well.
