Since its debut in the spring of 2012, the anime , which aired from April to September of that year with twenty-four episodes, and an original film titled "Accel World: Infinite Burst" released in July 2016, the work has been without a sequel for twelve years, leaving aside the aforementioned film which does not contribute to the plot .
Fans of the series have expressed diverse opinions regarding this extended hiatus. Some suggest that the lack of continuation is due to the fact that "Sword Art Online," another work by the same author, has proven to be much more successful. As one community member expressed:
- "Sword Art Online sells better. It's the same creator, and look how successful it is compared to a season and a movie of Accel World.".
Others pointed out that the original movie, "Accel World: Infinite Burst," might have ruined the chances of a second season. However, as one fan opined, "I think the movie completely ruined the chances of a second season.".
Furthermore, some suggest that the lack of a sequel could be related to production decisions and rivalries between animation studios. According to this theory, production companies may have intervened in the final decision, influencing the direction the author's animated career would take.
In short, while fans of "Accel World" celebrate its fifteenth anniversary, they also reflect on the absence of a sequel, speculating about the possible reasons behind it.
