Accel World Episode 11

So that’s what Yellow Radio was planning…Is anyone else bugged by the fact that Kuroyukihime has such an annoying weakness? You can say “she got over it this week” all you want. It was way too easy, so she’s gonna be paralyzed by her memories again…we all know it’s gonna happen. But the guy needed a logical way to defeat two kings, so I give him that. Even with Yellow Radio’s plan, Chrome Disaster decides to kill steal and interrupt some good old-fashioned DBZ-style fighting.

I can’t remember what happens to Yellow Radio now. Does he just die normally and lose points? Or is there something special about Chrome Disaster’s killing? Sigh…that week break is making me forget things.

I give respect to Haru this week. Unlike a normal protagonist, who never shows any signs of progress until a decisive battle, Haru actually works on things where we can see him. He saw that he had a problem and realized that he needed to train his reaction speed, so he worked on it and it paid off. But that’s my limit for now. He still seems the most useless in battle.

Next week, big engagement with Chrome Disaster. It actually sounds like they’ll beat him from the preview. I wonder what happens after that…will Chrome Disaster be a recurring presence? Taking over someone in the main cast? Seems like a fairly logical thing to do. Or does he just disappear and everyone goes on with their stuff? Poor Taku has to be absent through all of this.

Fate/Zero Final Episode

Oh well, no battle between Gilgamesh and Saber. Just an episode of wrapping everything up. Not really much to say about it…it’s just a bunch of setup for Fate/Stay Night, so nothing really exciting or unexpected going on. Poor Kiritsugu fails his mission, then Shirou decides to go and become a hero himself (and basically make the same mistakes with much stronger ideals).

I did find it interesting, though, that although Kiritsugu was portrayed as a sort of protagonist, he is basically broken in the end and Kirei finds new life (quite literally). I guess this just supports my assertion that Waver is the main character.

It has been a pretty entertaining series, I’d say. I hear a lot about material from the light novel that’s missing, but I say it worked out okay in the end. That being said, I am a little curious and might pick up the light novel somewhere. Hope you’ve enjoyed as I have…I will try to review the whole series soon.
