Accel World

Accel World's stakes may be slightly lower than that of this show, but at the same time, Accel World takes place in 2039, which is 17 years after Sword Art Online's pilot episode, which occurred in 2022. Accel World made an amazing mention of the Nervegear in one episode, and in the manga for Accel World, Haruyuki even fought Kirito. In other words, Accel World is set in the future of Sword Art Online's timeline. Accel World is also pretty cool in the sense of minor characters such as Ash Roller. Although his screen time was really, really brief, he still managed to be one of the funniest characters I've ever seen in both the english dub and the original subtitled version. I still love how every time he speaks, he increases his number, as in, "I haven't fought on the world's end stage in a while. Lucky me! On top of that, my opponent is a newbie. Now I'm MEGA-lucky! You, however, are GIGA-UNLUCKY!!!" So yeah. go watch Accel world if you like watching Sword Art Online.
