Sword Art Online question
posted 3 years ago by Smith1980 3 years ago by Smith1980 +13 / -0

Can anyone recommend any anime relatively similar? Is it based on a manga? I think I saw they are doing a video game

there have been dozens of isekai animes which jumped in to capitalize on SWO's success.

just look up any anime site with an isekai category.

Thanks! What does Isekai mean?

It is the genre name for when the main character is, by one means or another, transported to another world, where they then have to start interacting with the new world. Sometimes using knowledge from their own world to make themselves absolutely overpowered (ie: "I am in a medieval world, but I know how to make a gun, so now every fight is trivial to me.")

Ok. That makes sense. Greatly appreciated

Just be aware that a lot of them don’t match the SAO vibe. A lot of them are comedies and borderline slice of life. I think shield hero, mushoku tensei, and re:zero might be the biggest ones that actually match the more serious tone that SAO goes for.

Thanks. I remember I was sucked into SAO after that first episode
