"Accel World" and “Sword Art Online” to be Animated

According to Moonphase Diary, an anime adaptation for
Kawahara Reki’s light novels, ｢Accel World｣ and ｢Sword Art Online｣ , have been green-lit for production.

*Synopsis:
[qoute]No matter what age it is, the “Bullied Child” will never disappear. The overweight, Middle School student, Haruyuki, was one such kid. The only time he could relax completely, was when he would play a squash game on the local network the school had set up. He loved playing this simple game as he can forget painful times while immersed in it.

It was fall. He was passing his time like this until one day, he had an encounter with the school’s most beautiful, refined girl, “Black Snow Princess” (Kuroyukihime), which changed his life abruptly. Introduced to the software she transmitted, Haruyuki learned about “Accel World.” A program that enhances one’s mental capabilities, with certain side-effects.[/quote]

*Synopsis:

[qoute]The only way to escape is to ‘clear’ the game. Game over means actual ‘death’ —-
The ten thousand who have logged onto the as of yet mysterious game ‘Sword Art Online’ have been forced into this perilous death game.
Protagonist Kirito, one of the many gamers, has greeted this ‘truth’.
He plays as a solo player in the giant castle that is the stage for this game —- ‘Aincrad’.
To meet the conditions of clearing the game — getting through all 100 floors, Kirito fights his way through this quest alone.[/quote]
