What to Expect From The Accel World Source Material Compared to The Anime?

Accel World was a pretty decent anime adaptation. It moved quickly through four novels, but captured the key plot points. The anime is often left feeling a little unsatisfying open-ended since a lot of the plot threads are simply being set up in the novels the anime covered and concluded in novels that the anime did not adapt.

If you do love Accel World, it is worth reading the light novels from the beginning for all the small details about the world and characters that were left out, but technically the anime did adapt the major plot points well enough that you can continue on.

As a final note, while the manga is fine, it also cuts out details from the light novel. Since the manga also ends only a bit past where the anime ends, it isn’t really worth continuing the Accel World story with the manga.
