If you [i]Meh'd[/i] Sword Art Online, you'll love [i]Accel World[/i]. It makes up for most of what SAO did wrong and on top of that they are made by the same person and are in the same universe!
[spoiler]The author himself stated Kirito and Asuna may be the parents of one of the main characters, but he didn't specify who[/spoiler]

Ok that sounds really interesting. What's it about and how many episodes are there?

24 episodes long + OVA Since it and SAO are in the same universe, you've got an ass load of similarities. The show revolves around [i]BrainBurst!![/i], an MMORPG open-world fighting game where reality slows down to the rate of around 3 weeks time in the game world is about 5-10 minutes in the real world. The game revolves around a "point system" where if you lose all your points game data is permanently erased from the neurolinker* and cannot be reinstalled since the neurolinker itself read your specific brain wave patterns. The only way to get the game is by knowing someone who already has it cable linking with you and transferring the game licenses. The twist is though, that the license transfer only works ONCE so once you use your license you can't transfer the game to anyone else ever again. If I explained more then I would ruin most of the story, so go ahead and try it. * [spoiler]The Neurolinker is essentially a HoloLens that goes around your neck as is connected to your brain via a small microscopic hole in the back of your neck (haven't seen this in forever so that last statement might not be accurate). Think of having your computer screen mentally projected in front of your face 24/7 that you can control by literally tapping and swiping in front of your face, like a touch-screen computer.[/spoiler]

Maybe I'll watch it.
