AoFylian Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Ok, so I'm thinking about dropping this anime soon because I just can't stand to look at Haruyuki (Male lead). The way he looks bothers me so I was looking around to see any pictures where he might look better like a "what he should look like" picture. I found this: So I think the guy to the left is Haruyuki? Is that him just drawn differently? I think that is what his avatar looked like before he lost it I just need some confirmation. Edit: Kuroyukihime looks so great why must she be wasted on Haru T.T Quote
Slasherturtle Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Nah, man the guy on the left is from SAO (Sword Art Online)...His name is Kirito something.. Here Sword Art Online - Baka-Tsuki At least I think thats him. Quote
Ryu Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 How I hate when they make so stupid good-for-nothing male leads and incredibly hot heroines, not cool, if It doesn't get better by the 2nd episode I'm gonna drop it. Quote
hazehazy Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 haha I think this anime is fine except for the fact that the only fat,short and round person in that anime is the main character... Quote
Dan. Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 The words in the picture say "Sword Art Online" on the left side and "Accel World" on the right. I also can't stand to look at him, but hopefully he'll be that silver avatar guy most of the time. Quote
Kozue Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 i will try to endure how Haruyuki looks...not everyday i see a fat obese guy getting it on with a hot girl~ not to mention...i think he gets it on with more than 1 lol. hahahahaha~! Quote
Zaig Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Correct, that is Kirito from Sword Art Online, a light novel that is MUCH MUCH better than Accel World's, imo (even though they're written by the same author). And Sword Art Online luckily gets an anime this coming July! >D I also can't stand to look at him, but hopefully he'll be that silver avatar guy most of the time. He's Silver Crow for about half and half (leaning slightly more towards being his Accel World avatar). When he's not Silver Crow, he's either his obese self or his pig avatar. Most of the battles aren't very long, and the characters spend a lot of time in the real world developing strategies to monopolize the game - which is the entire point. It's not just about battling but how they come about the battles as well. Quote

Eve n the pig avatar is better than the actual person, but why would anyone, especially a fat guy, make their avatar a pig in the first place? It seems like he's inviting people to make fun of him. I was already going to watch Sword Art Online, but your recommendation makes me look forward to it even more. Quote

If my memory serves to be correct, in the manga the pig avatar was forced on him by delinquent #1, after he made a cool avatar for himself and got caught. I might be wrong. Quote

I might be wrong. That makes more sense. He's such a wimp. I hate those characters. Hopefully he'll get better as the show goes on. Quote
killerinsidee Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) I dropped it. Maybe the story and action will get really great later on, but I just can't stand watching that fat guy. He looks like a balloon. Edited April 14, 2012 by killerinsidee Quote
hazehazy Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I dropped it. Maybe the story and action will get really great later on, but I just can't stand watching that fat gay. He looks like a balloon. lol was that intentional? Quote
killerinsidee Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) lol was that intentional? haha, it wasn't xD fixed! Edited April 14, 2012 by killerinsidee Quote
Dan. Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I almost dropped it, but I think I'll keep watching it and hoping it will get better. Also, that fat gay XD Quote
RJei Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 It's a good anime so far, not really bothered by main protag's design, I think of him more of a chibi character than a fat char Quote
Dan. Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 It's a good anime so far, not really bothered by main protag's design, I think of him more of a chibi character than a fat char I'll try to do that, then maybe I'll be able to put up with it. Quote
warrof Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Yeesh it's the main character that everyone is worried about. I personally hope they actually build up some backstory for the main heroine and the supporting characters. And in the (modified) words of a certain comedian "He's not fat, he's fluffy." okay I'll admit it i had to get around the "fat kid" design too. I think it worked in heaven's lost property but not in this one. Quote
RJei Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Meh... if kuroyukihime goes into a coma I absolutely will drop this too. She's basically the only reason I'm not bothered by the main protagonist's design. The story and everything else flowed nicely around her, hoping this doesn't go down the coma-until-main protagonist-fulfills-wish-then-wake-up path. Quote
warrof Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 hmmm i'm probably gonna wait untill the anime is done airing, then ill watch it. That little ball thing is annoying, well actually his personality is really cool, but they could have made his charactger look better Quote

I second this...it's bearable because of Kuroyukihime Quote
superBlast Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Wow I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't really mind him being fat. I really don't see it as much of a problem really. Quote
Zaig Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 His character design in my eyes is refreshing. I'm exhausted from all of the "typical"-looking protagonists who are wimpy, like Yuuki from Mirai Nikki. People would hate on him because of his cowardice, and would have a harder time emphasizing with his character, but Haru gets bullied due to discrimination, which is something a lot of people can relate to, especially if they were bullied.

Except a wimpy kid is a real thing. A 2-foot-tall spherical kid does not exist. He just looks so dumb, that it doesn't matter what he's like, since I can't stand to look at him. And he's a coward too; he's just as bad as those other characters on top of looking dumb. Also, it's "empathizing" not "emphasizing" - there is a big difference (not trying to be mean, just correcting you for future reference) Quote
superBlast Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) A 2-foot-tall spherical kid does not exist. What if he's also has dwarfism along with being fat? lol. Even though he does stand out alot compared to the more realistic looking characters I don't see the problem with it. Then again I tend to ignore details such personalities, super predictable stories, and stuff like that. Edited May 4, 2012 by superBlast Quote
