The cover artwork for the second Accel World release has made its way out into the world and now we know the release date for the separate DVD and Blu-ray editions. The show will land on March 25th, 2014 and will contain episodes thirteen through twenty-four. The show will also include the eight mini episodes that made up Acchel World. What seems to be missing from the release though are the two Accel World EX OVAs that were confirmed as coming from Viz Media previously. This gives us a clue that they’re likely going to be in a separate release as they likely have different licensing requirements since they were bundled with the PS3/PSP limited editions in Japan.
Series concept: The year is 2046. Portable devices known as Neurolinkers have enabled mankind to oversee their daily life within virtual reality networks. But the advancements in technology have yet to provide a solution for the growing number of victims of bullying.
Haruyuki Arita is one such student who finds himself on the lowest social rungs of his school. Ashamed of his miserable life, Haruyuki can only cope by indulging in virtual games. That all changes when Kuroyukihime, the most popular girl in school, approaches Haruyuki with a cryptic proposal: to “accelerate” further, and beyond.
Haruyuki is introduced to a mysterious program called Brain Burst and a virtual reality called the Accel World. Learning its secrets, Haruyuki musters the courage to accept Kuroyukihime’s proposal and to fight alongside her as her knight.
