Plot

{{see also|List of Accel World characters{{!}}List of Accel World characters}}

Haruyuki "Haru" Arita is a short, overweight boy who is frequently ridiculed by delinquents at the Umesato Junior High School. Using his Neuro Linker to escape the torment of real life, he logs onto the school's local network cyberspace where he always plays virtual squash alone, and his innate video game skills bring him to the attention of Kuroyukihime (literally meaning "Black Snow Princess"), the school's popular, highly intellectual and attractive female student council vice-president.

After helping him against the delinquents, Kuroyukihime introduces Haruyuki to Brain Burst, a secret program that is able to accelerate the human cognitive process to the point at which time appears to stop. Haruyuki soon learns that Brain Burst is more than just a program, but an augmented-reality massively-multiplayer online (ARMMO) fighting game where people fight each other in fierce duels in order to obtain burst points, which can be spent for acceleration abilities in the real world.

Kuroyukihime then enlists Haruyuki's help in reaching level 10 within Brain Burst by defeating the "Six Kings of Pure Colour" and ultimately meeting the creator of Brain Burst to learn its true purpose. With every challenge they face in the accelerated world, Haru and Kuroyukihime, under their aliases "Silver Crow" and "Black Lotus", gather trusted allies and confront treacherous enemies. Their bond grows stronger while working to attain their ultimate objective: to reach the highest in-game level and meet the game's creator, who will reveal why the game was created and the true purpose of it.

Reception

At the end, he says that the anime starts out strong, but ends on a weak note.{{cite web|url=http://kotaku.com/5948119/accel-world-starts-strong-but-ends-wrong|title=Accel World Starts Strong, But Ends Wrong|website=Kotaku|date=October 2, 2012|access-date=November 18, 2015|archive-date=November 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181122232041/https://kotaku.com/5948119/accel-world-starts-strong-but-ends-wrong|url-status=live}}
