Accel World Episode 9

Well, I predicted that pretty well…facing off against Chrome Disaster, I see. They don’t really say much about the origins of Chrome Disaster, such as whether or not is was a Burst Linker (as in, they actually saw the guy who was in control). I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s similar to AIDA from .hack, an artificial intelligence programmed into the game that went haywire.

Alternatively, it could be an intentional artificial intelligence meant to test the Burst Linkers to some level…part of that mysterious motive of the Creator. Either way, I doubt it’s a trap by Yuniko as Taku suspects…just a way to recruit the Red King. I wonder what will happen when the battle starts. Chrome Disaster definitely has to possess one of the main characters…that would be pretty interesting. We’ll see. Final side note: Taku mentions that Haru and Kuroyukihime are too lovey-dovey, and I agree…creeps me out.

Fate/Zero Episode 22

Ahh…Kirei…what have you done? Poor Iris. I wonder if this is meant to send Kiritsugu into a rage, so that Kirei can crush his idealistic wish to end war with the Grail. Also, Waver and Rider…bros for life. Waver looks a lot more like a main character by befriending his Servant and then making it so far despite how weak and timid he is. Those two are still my favorite combo.

The stage is set for the final battle. The preview sounds like Rider versus Gilgamesh. Also, Saber will likely face Berserker and Kiritsugu will face off against Kirei. It sucks knowing the outcome, but I hope the battles end up being exciting anyway.
