Kuroyukihime explains that she chose to show Haruyuki the program because she needs his help. However, if a user loses all their points, they will also lose access to Brain Burst forever.
Brain Burst also functions as an augmented reality fighting game, and in order to get more points to accelerate, users must win duels against other players. She then invites him to the student lounge and introduces him to "Brain Burst," a program which allows the users to accelerate their brain waves to the point where time seems to stop. But his life takes a drastic turn one day, when he finds that all his high scores have been topped by Kuroyukihime, the popular vice president of the student council. It could have been much better though.Haruyuki Arita is an overweight, bullied middle schooler who finds solace in playing online games. I still give the anime 7 stars because it had its moments, some of the concepts were interesting and some fights were enjoyable. It's a lot easier to believe in a fantasy or sci-fi world if the rules governing it are coherent and unbreakable. After a certain point it inevitably feels like the creators just keep pulling things out of thin air, which kinda' ruins their previous efforts at worldbuilding. There were also problems with how new rules and ideas were introduced to the show even in the last episodes, which is never a good sign. But then suddenly new characters are introduced, the main plot is sidelined for a much weaker subplot, much of the runtime is spent on various characters whining ad nauseam, and the "grand finale" of the show is a smallish fight with one of these new characters that solves nothing and wouldn't move the main plot forward even if it continued at all. The world, the characters and some conflicts are set up, and it looks like we will get a story arc about what Accel World is, what's its purpose, how it will end, etc.
It's a good shonen anime in the sense that it contains fights, fun and excitement, but from about the middle of the show things seem to get out of hand.
