The number one glasses-pushing anime. Sword Art Online, but smarter, more philosophical, and you don't want to punch the main character in the face.

Brilliant show The characters have personality, there is much depth in world mechanics and definitely scratches the itch I have for world building. Can't wait for season 3

It's got its similarities to Sword Art Online, but it's more true to mmo games. I think it's good and the intro for the series is awesome :)
