Great to see Niko again as well as Blood Leopard who is fucking awesome. I just love her cold/ straight to the point attitude and the way she just drags Haru around lol.

Looks like this whole secret about them not appearing on the matchlist will be exposed next episode, oh yes I can't wait to see that.

All those girls expectedly looking at Takasu and Haruyuki in the bus. xD

Takasu will be training while Haruyuki is trying to find out about the way to be invisible on the matching list. Will they finally defeat Noumi next episode?

Also; advertising for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 eh?

As soon as Leopard said the word 'master' I immediately thought of Saber. Is that weird?


Hah, I thought BL's (lol, I know it's funny in the context there was yaoi moments this episode) voice sounded familar and then confirmed it. Saber and BL both voiced by the same VA. Hell, they both even ride motorbikes!

Blood Leopard is pleasingly Homura-esque... It's just unfortunate, as many have pointed out, that she looks too much like Kuroyukihime in maid cosplay. Also, her avatar is kind of dumb.

Haru could benefit from a switch to Bubble Bobble dinosaur, though.

I highly approve of dragging the fat, little, round MC around. LOL

Rust Jigsaw...hmm the avatar's name of the invisible burst linker is different, maybe he's part of what Noumi keeps referring to as "us" and "we".
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

LoL I've had my sneaking suspicions that Haru and Taku are a little "comme ci comme ca". That scene was hilarious, they even resolve their differences like girls.

Yay Niko is back and as usual once again kicking ass. she's been missed and i hope she has a decent part to play in the series finale. Or should i say season finale, hopefully a second season is eventually green lighted.

What the hell is this, where's my story?
Only 3 more episodes left, I guess that'll only finish the Noumi arc and we'll probably get a season 2 for the rest of it.

This episode was awesome. The bus confessional is definitely one of the top moments in the series, Taku so sincere, and Haru too, and just it all, and everyone on the bus turning and starring as it got even more intense.

Anyway I liked the whole episode every development and what not Scarlet Rain sharing with them the secret of the Incarnation System and Taku training it and sharing his tear inducing backstory, hope he gets it and overcome his fears. I didnt ever think he was a victim of bullying. Haru and Blood Leopard on the motorbike was funny and I liked Prominence's guild layout. Rust Jigsaw, Nomi?.

And wow at Namco for actually having that Tekken Tag Tourney 2 or whatever footage playing in the Akihabara game center, free ad?


I knew it would be bought up sometime

anyways, all this shipping is there anyone for Hime x Taku x Chiyu x Taku

Oh wow, Blood Leopard only had a few moments but she is already my third favorite character after Kuroyukihime and Niko. Actually I would like a spin-off with the three of them doing random shenanigans, it could be the best show of its season. 3.5/5

Hey, this episode was actually good. Unexpected considering I haven't been enjoying Accel World since ep 13.

Niko was awesome as always.

The maid is such a Wilhelmina rip-off. Not that I mind. She was still cool.

Rust Jigsaw is definitely Noumi's brother. Because who else would be able not to appear in the matching list. Or he is a part of somekind of occult ground in the game that he refers as "We". The ending of episode 21 shows Rust Jigsaw(I hope thats him). And the hair color is the same as the picture that Taku sent to Haruyuki.

This show does improve when they let the characters interact outside of a fight setting. Haru, Taku and Nico have pretty good chemistry together. The incarnate system is a pretty bland shounen power up as far as it goes and now they have to call out the name of their attacks to both make them manifest quicker and to give the enemy a warning because it would just be rude to know let the enemy know what is coming.

Not really looking forward to a bunch of fighting in the next episode as those tend to be the most bland and predictable.


Nico made that part of the episode watchable. The rest of it was a lot of meh...

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Despite not having much time, I really had a hard time in dealing with Yuniko’s MOE cause it really stirred up my heart and feelings rather being exciting of the light emanations from Yuniko’s MOE TBH. So I quickly comment on 3 things.

About Yuniko, the feature and setup that impressed me the most if the following,

Whom shows a rather very well done dark toned then nasty expression of Yuniko. Quite remarkable to say the least. Other than that here are a few points of MOE and enticing value to me.

–At last in the spoiler
Yuniko with a cute umbrella and nice outlook. I liked how they do focus on her boots and umbrella till the last moment where they do show her face. This is amazing! For the ED1 showed it and it came around in this episode.

-I wonder if Yuniko wears panties in the spoiler
cause it looks like she might not.
Then again it could be all a teasing. Regardless not clue as to if she is but all points out to that she does not from how her legs there were exposed.

-Yuniko’s rich faces in the spoiler
while she eats and during the table speech was a high MOE pitch that I had trouble to pass during that segment.

-Who would not love in the spoiler
as much as Haruyuki, Yuniko’s feet? ME! ME! COUNT ME IN! In fact any loli lover would love a foot job on his privates in terms of thinking ecchi things. Ideally foot fetish runs high with Yuniko’s feet and expressions she makes during that part.

-Yuniko teasing Haruyuki in the spoiler
was a very nice segment to see not only for the MOE but I ROFL really well there too. They both looked like kids playing in winter.

-Yuniko impressed me much in the spoiler
with her different skills incarnate system itself. Whom I noted down it’s main features. Those are quite surprising as I did not think of seeing that much variations of them.

-Finally as Yuniko asks Haruyuki of his name for his special of the Incarnate system, her expressions in the spoiler
came back strong comedically and MOE again.

And so with all these points MOE and comedy are undeniable at a 100% IMPROVEMENT! Certainly this is the best episode of MOE of Yuniko to date and most sure that my points and reactions prove it quite well as I never found myself that much MOE high.

About Leopard, she was quite nice to see. I think of her as MATURE HIME! It does not take much to see it was the idea of her design and character type. It also takes the following,

Simply to realize she is in for the addition of fan service. As proof of that the list should outline the elements.
  • Obvious BLACK CENSORS OF DEATH in the spoiler
    of her panties less they are there for censoring her ass cause she wears none then yeah it makes sense in either direction and I noticed that.

  • Some exposition close ups in the spoiler
    not to mention her grab there says much of her character IMO.

  • Finally her disguise in the spoiler
    just plain shows easily all her body composure, breasts and ass to rather easy views and contours. Essentially proving out fan service appeal with suits.
So despite the plot with her, it is filled with fan service and certainly it’s welcomed since not much of it is around in general in this series. Well a older female than Hime is always nice.

So that being said I find in the spoiler
as the last of my thoughts that Akihabara is well shown along with the motorcycle scenes. Adding to that a sad Taku past is sad! BASTARDS WHO DID THIS TO HIM! YOU HEAR ME? GO TO HELL! That’s all I will say to them and if I could, I would hit them 5 times for every hit they did on Taku. This is surely the most depriving in sports and disgusting shit I have seen for some time. Surely there is worse but this was degrading for Kendo to say the least.

Still quite amazing and varied episodes. I must admit that Yuniko was incredibly well fleshed out and was also shown in her suit in the spoiler
as reference for Image Stitches.

Notes taken for fun of the episode:

Incarnate system types:

Attack Range Augmentation Self Power up with no special gauge usage
Movement ability augmentation Self Power up with no special gauge usage
Attack Power augmentation Self Power up with no special gauge usage
Armour Strength augmentation Self Power up with no special gauge usage

Incarnate system usage: not to defeat enemy but to confront one’s own weaknesses.

Blood Leopard aka Maid
Red Legion’s Prominence base
Rust Jigsaw.
Sometimes they are good for key reminders.

BTW Image Stitches and pic dump done in the BLOG:
http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/09/image-stitches-and-image-dump-of-accel.html
which is huge and over 350 pics. All 10 bit this time around. Yuniko trigger happy here.

Some GIFs of Yuniko are done in the club:

singatures and a avatar are included.

Super duper!

So, it appears taht there at least 3 people that can hide their names in the match listings. Presumably someone somewhere is selling cracked copies of the games.

Well, I suppose it's just like real life, you can try hard in MMO's but you'll just get beat down by people using hacks and mods. They don't want to have fun, just feel like they're superior to some one else at any cost!

I mean did Haruyuki really met that prick Noumi during at the end of EP20?! Why are they entire school students are now after him?!

BULLSHIT & RIDICULOUS!! Really, anime, really?! You really 'trolled' us with this?!

PS - did we noticed that there's a "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" arcade machine in this episode?

Lol at the girls in the bus tuning in to their yaoi radars. Loved the sudden change of mood and Niko's reaction to hearing the words "incarnate system" in public.

It's interesting how the incarnate system is treated like a secret type of martial arts in Accel World.There are even different forms of it as stated by Scarlet Rain. If the game creators didn't intend for the system to be used that way, then it's really an exploit (but not a hack).

Taku's training begins. I expect he's eventually going to learn it, but I wonder how long it will take him to master his own skills? I'd also like to see what Cyan Pile's Incarnate abilities are.

Blood Leopard is finally introduced. So the Red Legion's name is Prominence? I'm sure it must have been mentioned somewhere, and I just didn't pick it up.

First it was Mahoro, then Saber and now Blood Leopard. Ayako Kawasumi's kickass characters tend to also have a knack for riding badass motorcycles, eh?
