Has anyone ever asked Kawahara-sensei about Kirito's golden eyes AKA Hax Mode?
It might make his reality-bending moments seem less pulled out of the devil's rear.

It's just a physical representation of him imposing his will onto the game system, which finally became acknowledged as something legitimate within the Underworld.

Which I can only assume is basically the same thing as Accel World's Incarnate System?

The very same.

Even if that's the case, the very fact that it (apparently) only gets properly addressed at the very end of the WN (way into the 2nd half of the Alicization Arc) still feels like an asspull to me, as if the author had no good time or explanation for it until he got Accel World as a sort of scapegoat.

I haven't read the Alicization books yet (decided to watch the anime first), but at least the anime foreshadowed this from nearly the start. You could probably argue that Eugeo and Alice defeating the right-eye system error was also through Incarnate. It was also suggested in the anime that Incarnate would be the only way to beat Administrator.

Perhaps in the novels it was more obscured and not revealed until later, but at least in the anime it felt pretty clear to me. (Of course, maybe it helped that I knew Accel World so understood the hints the anime was leaving about it, which also didn't exist yet when the original WN came out.)

According to YouTuber Foxen, the whole Hax Mode is pretty much Anime Original, not being referred at all in the Novels so far.
He also theorized that the Anime may have taken some nodes from Accel World, most likely Brain Burst's Incarnate System.
Still, being reminded of how many times it actually happened (once every arc) feels funny. And I don't mind at all

I feel sorry for anyone who watched Foxen videos, his is full of misinformation and self-assumption. That Kirito's move is indeed Incarnation. If you guys want to watch any youtubers, watch GamerTurk's Alicization explained videos, he compared LN and anime's differences pretty well.

In hindsight Accel World premiering first may have actually worked out for the best

Great visual! Alice looks great, and Asuna looks stunning in her new design

Villain guy in the background is giving me Oberon vibes though...

Apparently A1 decided to go deeper and the second half will be also split-coured...

Hmm...somewhat disappointing, but if it means less production issues, I'm game

Good thing for A-1 because as LN reader I can totally see how the production in around ep 16-24 fell apart, the animation was inconsistent, plot dragged out at some places and rushed here and there where they shouldn't, just to create some artificial cliffhangers. WoU is a lot more action packed, so they definitely need that cour break.
