| I suggest trying Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood if you haven't already. The protagonist is lovable like Kirito and has a traumatic background while having skills in alchemy to be reckoned with. It was really popular and for a good reason too. Another one but a more dark anime I suggest is Darker than Black, just season 1 (the other seasons are bad). The protagonist here is one badass guy named Hei who is also unique in his powers too as a "contractor". If you want more of a serious or realistic theme then this is also a route to go on and includes a little more gore and psychological. Take it from me who is an avid watcher/reader of anime's with lots of actions and really interesting protagonists. |
| Also agreeing with Guilty Crown. |
| Accel world! literally the future of that world. written by the same person, takes place 20 years or so after SAO ( so like 2043), same type of story involving VR. |
| 3rding Guilty Crown if you want to watch something that gets more and more depressing every episode |
| Accel world is very similiar. In the anime it even showed that nerve gear exists in that anime lol. Accel world Guilty Crown I'd say accel worlds ur best bet though... |

| Guilty Crown, Accel World and .hack//Sign. |
| Accel World, it was written by the same guy, that's enough of a plus if you liked SAO. |
The forums are dark, and full of ego. |
| Does anyone read the OPs post? He said he wants a character similar to Kirito, and people are actually recommending Accel World? Krito, while flawed, is not a whining sissy in every single episode like Haruyuki. OP, do yourself a favor, do not watch Accel World, it's a piece of crap with an absolutely terrible cast of characters. I will say Ao no Exorcist, FMA: Brotherhood (though they focus on a wide range of characters, not just one), Scrapped Princess, Tales of the Abyss, Tokyo Majin, and Tsubasa Chronicle. |

| I can't think of anything except kinda Araragi, Koyomi from Bakemonogatari but I have a recommendation... wait for season 3 and you'll be fine ^^ |
| Sure one of the best anime SOA |
| btooom! should do the work |

Peten00b said: Because someone already did, and they aren't similar at all.why didn't anyone suggest Btooom? The concept is very similar D: |

I wonder what did you watch thinking it was SAO. AFAIK, Kirito most of the time went through the rational route, and that's why he was hated by quite a few due to using his previous knowledge for empowering himself instead of teaching the less experienced players. The only instances where he went gung-ho were times when he got either desperate or cornered. Btw, I like SAO but find Ao no Exorcist boring. |

| I don't really find him cocky except for a certain chapter when he does it on purpose, but I do recall him thinking he was getting too full of himself on the latest ones. Well, back on topic... If we ignore the setting, I think Sara Werec from Soukou no Strain might qualify. |

| mars of destruction, just as good |
 |
| Try watching any of Idea Factory's works. Truly great masterpieces that can satisfy any anime fan. |
| try Accel World |
 |
| Zero no Tsukaima: Saito looks very similar to Kirito and isn't whiny either. Plus it has the protagonist enter a strange new world and learns to use a sword very well. |
