What was that anime where you wear a VR headset and if you die in-game, you die in real life?

Ya that one

What Sword Art Online Alternative. Amazing plot and characters.

Sword Art Online had a pretty decent few opening episodes, it just.... for some reason decided to go full-blown Knights of Sidonia and turn itself into a weird harem anime.

I HIGHLY recommend the SAO Abridged series. It's one of the few "parody/satire" projects that actually makes the original story better and most regard SAO Abridged as the better version as a whole.

Same! I rewatch DBZ Abridged all the time! Funny enough, never actually watched DBZ or any of Dragon Ball in its entirety, but I've played a LOT of the games and basically know the entire story, front to back, from the games and Abridged lol

I would absolutely say Something Witty Entertainment is 100% on par with TFS. They do such a great job taking SAOs original story and making it ACTUALLY make sense, while adding a lot more comedy and sometimes some actually heart breaking moments.

Added bonus, it's still ongoing! They basically only release one episode a year now, but I think every episode is worth the wait because they put in a lot of effort. They do some other Abridged series as well (like a newer ongoing series of My Hero Academia,) but I believe SAOA is their longest running one right now.
