Seems like you are a Asuna/Kirito fan, check out my "thesis" on why you should read Progressive.

If may I, I want to give you a recommendation of a novel, Sword Art Online: Progressive(Novel, NOT THE MANGA).
Yeah, I know, it's fricking SAO, EXCEPT that this one has removed every bad element of the main-series(I even dropped the main-series at this point(Volume 21)), I'm gonna give you a list of things that are different and upgrades:

The balance between the ladies and the guys is really thigher, basically for each woman introduced, there's also a lad with equal importance in the story being introduced as well, this makes the story feel really more natural, unlike the main-series, where we have like 5 girls per guy.
The care for the details, the story even has a tone of mystery(Mostly on volume 4 and 5), basically every detail introduced in the story will be used, ESPECIALLY in the quests, this fifth volume was the pinnacle of that.
The development of the characters, it seems like every characters(important to the arc) develops a little, even Kibaou(Yeah, that "annoying" guy with the spiky hair), the Asuna from the first volume is completely different to the Asuna we have now, she even went throught 2 phases of personality.
The RPG mechanics, if you are a fan of RPGs, you will love this work, every novel that I read that tries to talk about those mechanics make it so boring(And most of the time they don't even remember about those mechanics later in the work)... The author makes a interesting theorycrafting with those RPG mechanics, I'm sure that he loses a good time thinking about on how to use it, cuz every single mechanic that was introduced was also used, most of them I would dream to have on an actual RPG/MMO.
The Worldbuilding of Aincrad makes you really interested in the lore of that world, we have so much conflicts in the NPCs that it even represents the players, I can't say much more about the worldbuilding besides the fact that each floor is a whole new experience, you need to read to understand, but it will be fun, mainly and especially with the Quests being so well-made and interesting.
The story is so well paced that I even lost my stop at the bus and skipped some classes to read it(cuz of my bus, but I loved that experience and regret nothing).
The Boss fights, if there's one thing that I really like in the novel are these, the boss of the 4th Volume has to be one of the most creative bosses I've ever seen(I have played A LOT of RPGs), most of the bosses have something unique about them, and oh boi, it's always something really unexpected and terrifying.
Bonus: The novel shows you many sides of the characters in SAO and their motives(I'm not talking about the harem, which doesn't exists in Progressive.).

Well, you might say "But I already know the ending", actually, it could be true, but the story has heavily diverged from the main-series at this point, therefore you basically know only 0.1% of what's gonna happen in the novel, I even consider it a parallel world. The only cons that I can find is that there's not "Big ass plot" besides the Kayaba Akihiko stuff and that there's a bit of fanservice(The absolute majority of it is Kirito/Asuna tho).
think that the series is getting better with each volume, so the first volume would be the "worst" one by now.

You can read all those reasons or just read it cuz it's KiritoxAsuna 99% of the time :P.
Any question you have about it, just ask me.
I also have a drive with all the volumes in pdf/epub, if you want access just ask.

what is your nickname on ab? when did you come to support?

Changes are good, sometimes that is...

That's actually not the first season. Brotherhood is a total remake of the series. So you don't really need to watch 2003 version at all. I haven't watched it myself but am planning to, for the sake of completion.

Yeah, (Kanon) 2006 version was what I meant. I guess you couldn't find the link to 2002 version. It's pretty rare and not worth watching, to be honest.

I wasn't sure if you liked josei, so I didn't suggest that one but it's a masterpiece. There was this series named Natsuyuki Rendezvous I watched this season with the same genre and it was quite a pleasure to watch too.

You're welcome. Hope you like them. ;)

basmimarsinan Sep 15, 2012 11:19 AM

Hey! It's great to see you around. I'm doing fine. Hope you're liking your new place too!

Well, you should definitely watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Kanon, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Steins;Gate and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as soon as you can. You're missing a lot!

As for the new ones, there's this Sword Art Online which seems to be liked by anyone including myself. (I've even read the books) There's also Kokoro Connect airing this season, which explores humans' inner self in a very interesting manner. Kuroko no Basuke which is about to finish airing is a great one as well; if you're even remotely interested in basketball, you shouldn't skip this one. Jormungand from last season was a masterpiece of action anime and Sakamichi no Apollon was another great series covering friendship, love and music in a brilliant way. There is also Hyouka with daily mysteries and brilliant animation which you'll definitely like if you liked Clannad. There were plenty of others but I guess these should you keep you enjoying for a good while.

For Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood try this:

http://torrents.speedsubs.org/eclipse/%5bEclipse%5d%20Fullmetal%20Alchemist%20Brotherhood%20(1280x720%20h264).torrent

For Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann:

http://tracker.minglong.org/torrents/%5BEG-BSS%5D_Tengen_Toppa_Gurren-Lagann_%5BDVD%5D.torrent

Found them both at tokyotosho.

No, you don't need to watch Chaos;HEAd. The story is not related, just the concept.

basmimarsinan Nov 10, 2011 7:20 AM

Of course. That's the reason why it's still in my favorites, after watching so many series. You should give Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann a go too. I'm sure you'll like them a lot, particularly the latter.

If you would want to watch something different, try Steins;Gate. It's one of the exceptional series I have watched in a while.
