With many of the baring skin and lustful embrace postures, the second half of Accel World EX is a gratuitous presentation. Of course, in series like this, Reki and his works makes no escape towards this trope. That spells out a simple word: fan service. As for the second episode, it follows the typical trend with most OVA standpoints in today's anime industry. This is especially true for Kuroyukihime avatar that makes her character already stand out more than she should be.

It is a stand alone episode and gives more of a fillerish vibe. The episode does not reintroduce all the concepts from its prequel nor are there actual backgrounds of the story from it. What this means is that it can be a little spoilerish but more importantly, viewers should familiarize themselves with the original series. The first stage known as Reverberation Zankyou still takes place in a similar setting but with a newer concept shown AFTER the original anime series. As such, expect many of the same themes, characters, setting, and backgrounds similar.īecause it is non linear, the OVA are standalone episodes that has little to no connection to one of of the other or vice-versa.
