I can tell it is going to be difficult to be able to enjoy this series. Due to the translated novel's popularity there are detailed spoilers (mostly character bios) all over the place. I hadn't even gotten around to watching the first episode before it happened. They're just thrown out there casually.



It's got promise though, and I like that it is supposedly in the same setting as Accel World. Interesting what a difference 24 years makes (Sword Art in 2022 and Accel World in 2046). You'd think that after something like this, they'd be incredibly strict in regards to people (and particularly the youth) getting their consciousness sent into VR worlds at all.

I take it that the Neuro-Linker has substantially higher safeguards over the NerveGear.
