Tentacruel Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Oh yes, it was. That was one of the most badass things I've ever seen in anime, if only for the sheer nerdy video game-ocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, the Light Novels are [i]way[/i] ahead so everything is basically predetermined. (which also means that there may be a chance for another season) I'd recommend... episode 2 (gives a better understanding of Beater than the manga) episode 3 (not really sure since it's been awhile, but I think the death of his first guild was portrayed better) episodes 7 (I liked the metal dragon ) episode 9 (I've watched it 3 times already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Episodes 2-7 are side stories and they never happened in the manga as far as I know (I've read 6 chapters of the manga). Not only that but I agree with the mass of people I've heard call the manga horrible, but I think the anime is amazing. Mostly because of what Tenta said, and people really bash the manga art too so... Oh wait, you asked for serious changes. Then in that case, the later half of what I said still applies at least, it is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 But if you don't watch the episode with Sachi then it becomes difficult to understand Kirito's reasons for not wanting to work with others. I just found out the reason Kirito got Dual Blades. Which is weird, because I don't remember reading it in the Light Novels. It makes sense though.

Nicο Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yeah, there is that. I just figured since I don't think everybody would read side stories before reading more of the main thing I didn't know if people would need to watch them. But I know it really helps to understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm currently re-reading the Light Novel concerning the plots for the next 2 episodes. The only thing that is worrying is the transition between them, but they've done an ok-ish job so far. [spoiler May spoil the ending, open at your own risk]Edit: After re-reading Fairy Dance I'll be disappointed if they don't continue the anime. Fairy Dance's ending actually gives more closure.

Legend Zero Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I know they have the same author, but the latest episode of Accel World showed the Nerve Gear (and even called it a first gen VR machine).

Legend Zero Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 A little sad, but.... [i]"Especially considering [Versus], although that's a work where you can see the correlation/links between the two series, but as the author, I will state now my position that 'There are no clear link between the two series'"[/i] Versus is the side story of Kirito vs Silver Crow, and these are the author notes. Which basically say, "I'll decide later". Although, he wrote this a while back...maybe he decided it was time? People are saying that the novel of Accel World says "helmet shaped device", not Nervegear. [spoiler Related to the SAO novels, so look at your own risk] Apparently, Kirito had a plot point with the Brain Chips at some point in the Light Novels (after SAO)[/spoiler] Edit: [spoiler Was reading Volume 5 and it sounded familiar...] AR function means to use the Amusphere (2nd gen NerveGear) while awake, combining real sight and sound with digital information. If that was possible, then it could replace computers and mobile phones. In your view, you could have a virtual desktop where you could browse the net or type mail, do street navigation, have information tags on people or things, the use would only be limited by imagination. Currently, RECTO started working with large information producers to develop that machine, but due to physical activity leading to the pulse focus being shifted, the need for high-capacity battery, and other problems, it had not reached a practical level.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I was going to mention the Nerve Gear reference, since I thought it was quite clever. Since Sword Art Online was written years before Accel World, Nerve Gear would have been established enough that by the time Accel World referenced it, people would have known what it meant. However, the fact that Accel World referred to a "helmet shaped device" is very ambiguous, and was most likely intended to be a shout out to Sword Art Online without actually giving its name. Then again, I think Accel World would have at least referenced the real world events surrounding Sword Art Online at one point, but given how the stories are over twenty years apart, it probably makes sense that the two haven't been connected yet.

Legend Zero Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I forget where it was, but some forum said that because Accel World was more popular than SAO at the start, the author put some shout outs in there. Now that they are both popular its lead to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
