They have announced the SAO Season 2 for 2014

I've been intending to read or at least watch Accel World, I knew obviously that its by the same author and similar themes but I didn't realise it actually takes place in the same universe as well, that's pretty cool.

Yeah Sword Art Online incident takes place in 2022 and ALO ended in 2025, Accel World takes place in 2047. People are even speculating that Kuroyukihime is the daughter of Kirigaya and Asuna.

This is a really great synopsis of the anime and review. I really enjoyed this anime. Most reviewers say the story is really bland and most people tend to like the anime because they themselves are MMO players and can relate to the terminology and different aspects of the anime.

I had the same issue with time flying by really fast. Another thing that bothered me was the SAO (Sword Art Online) arc was great, but the ALO (ALfheim Online) arc was super dry.

I also really liked Accel World, I like how they both take place in the same universe. They eventually make a crossover in the Accel World Light Novels.
