Destruction; (Houkai)

Aside from the terribly annoying antagonist who seems to be way too over-powered and the lack of Kuroyukihime, I'm still thoroughly enjoying the arc. This episode was a huge turning point though and that's because they brought back Ash Roller and Chrome Disaster.

Arrestation; (Sakuryaku)

Finally! A new OP and ED! And if that's not enough, we get more awesome shower scenes - this time with Chiyuri and Haruyuki actually in the midst of it.

Violation; (Shinnyuu)

I was expecting a new OP and ED this week! It would've been perfectly timed with the new arc and the introduction of a new mysterious student.

Absolution; (Yousha)

Our first cour of Accel World comes to a close with the end of Chrome Disaster's arc and I think it's a very fitting way to lead into the second half of this series.

Obligation; (Shukumei)

Finally, a whole episode devoted to action and straight out battles between Level 9 kings! Not only did it include Black Lotus but Scarlet Rain and Yellow Radio as well.

; Activation (Shutsugeki)

I was expecting this week's episode to start the confrontation with Chrome Disaster, but what a surprise when the episode ended and it was all a ploy...

Escalation; (Gekika)

First things first I have to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying this arc with Kouzuki Yuniko (aka Scarlet Rain). With all the introductions out of the way, the real story begins...

Temptation; (Yuuwaku)

And the story finally starts getting interesting... starting with that bathroom scene.

Restoration; (Shuufuku)

After last week's lack of Kuroyukihime screen caps, I was going to do 36 caps solely of her. Unfortunately, that didn't pan out very well...

Retribution; (Ouhou)

Chiyuri's such a great girlfriend! All she needs are sweets and a few books to relieve some anger and stress. I've chucked a book at someone before - not in the head but in a more sensitive area. You can imagine the rest.
