Looking back way some, I finally got around to finishing Accel World. I enjoyed it and the fighting concept well, but the one flaw is that it left so many things hanging to the point you'll have to read the light novels. Ain't got no time for that so bring on season 2, already~.
Now to might as well do Log Horizon since people consistently gave praise for every time I've drawn up Accel World + Sword Art Online comparisons.
The world should be fans of Accel World instead of Sword Art in my opinion, but it was based on a light novel, which means most of the time they don't get an ending. Beh. Sakurasou at least got somewhere that looked like an ending.
Log Horizon... I've heard people don't like the second season, and I can kinda see why they wouldn't, but I enjoyed it a lot. They changed studios and the animation quality isn't as great, but at worst I would call it average. The first season, on the other hand, is phenomenal. It's a very refreshing take on what it means to be a hero, which is common in the writer's other novels. Some people might say the main character is overpowered, but... no. He is unbeatable at certain things, but he can't solo raid bosses because plot says so like other less well-written characters.
