Accel World
MVM Entertainment has another new series slotted up for 2014 that they’ve just announced with Accel World. The twenty-four episode series was originally simulcast outside of Japan through Viz Media, who is one of the master licensors for the series, and they’ve just released the first half of it themselves. MVM Entertainment is set to bring out the first part of the series in June 2014, though they have not announced what formats it will use and whether it will be in two separate parts similar to the North American release or a complete collection.
Plot concept: Set in 2048 follows Haru, a short, fat boy who takes refuge in virtual games as a respite from the bullying he receives at school. Catching the attention of the school’s student council vice-president, Haru is introduced to the “Accelerated World”, where users can access the “Brain Burst”, an acceleration of time in the brain that makes the real world slow down. Drawn into an MMO battle with others in Accel World, Haru vows to take on the 6 Kings of Colour and solve the mystery of just why the Accelerated World was created.
