Accel World English Sub & Dub

About Accel World

Accel World (アクセル・ワールド) blends action, romance and sci-fi by Sunrise (2012). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: The year is 2046. Haruyuki Arita is a young boy who stumbles on himself on the lowest social rungs of his school.

Next up: Ashamed of his miserable life, Haruyuki can only cope by indulging in virtual games. That all changes when Kuroyukihime, the most popular girl in school, introduces him to an enigmatic program called Brain Burst and a virtual reality called the Accel World.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kuroyukihime (Sachika Misawa) and Takumu Mayuzumi (Shintarou Asanuma) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 24 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Sunrise, so the studio's house style defines how Accel World looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Sachika Misawa as Kuroyukihime, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2012, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
