Hi, looking for a good fantasy Rpg style anime
SAO was amazing for the first couple of episodes, but then it became really bad really fast and I stopped watching it was one of the most disappointing things I've ever seen
Danmachi is really really terrible, like it's so bad that it makes SAO seem deep and complex in comparison
I loved the Negima manga, but there isn't an adaptation out there that can do the series justice
pls help there has to be a good fantasy anime out there somewhere

I just binged the entire series, this is exactly what I'm looking for thank you so much <3
Well, you could try Slayers. The storylines do work like a plot out of a JRPG or DnD game, it is a fantasy setting... and each season is it's own self-contained, 26 episode story. Very good. Cannot recommend it more.
tower of druaga is okay except its a parody on RPG games
Problem Children are Coming From Another World, aren't they?
basically a less complicated version of No Game No Life
The thing I really loved from SAO was the Mother's Rosario arc. It was just totally awesome all the way through, especially Kirito's "you shall not pass" moment.
C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control is good , S-cry-ed is good too , one piece/ bleach / naruto are good too , full metal alchemist , attack on titan is meant to be good too
and fairy tail !
Happy viewing

Personally didn't like the Light Novels. I read up to Mother's Rosario and thought they were just as bad. For me, the extra details included couldn't save the series as a whole from its bad pacing and characters, which both the animation and novels had.
Well, to each their own.
Danmachi was ok.
The thing with Accel World is that the MC is horrid.
Look At Anime Dosage Youtube channel for good fantasy,
No Game no Life

this made me lol.
OT: not trying to be sarcastic but there's a maplestory anime that you can watch. don't know if it's good or not but you can give it a shot.
Hunter x Hunter
Well all of the ones that came in mind was already pointed out so I'll just put them on again.
Accel World, Akame ga Kill, Log Horizon
@Piana: Ah, I misread what you said as "play GU but don't read/watch/play any of the other ones". GU is a great game, though.
[quote=Piana]If you can play a PS2 game, try .hack//G.U. series.
Don't try any ,hack manga / anime adaptations though, they are extremely horrible.[/quote]
The Legend of the Twilight mangas are fine, not so much the anime adaptation of it.
What's so bad about.hack//xxxx?
Also .hack//sign is good, although it's slow paced and certainly not for everyone.

For the recommendations, others have already pointed it out. Log horizon is a nice choice, the first season is nice. However for the second, the animation quality went down(due to switching animation company and lack of funds). No Game No Life is pretty cool. There are several Mangas out there that is similar to Sword Art, but also very interesting as they have their own situation. I can give you a couple if you want. Anichart.net have the list of anime that is upcoming and showing and shows the release date of each episode.
I think Fate/Zero is also a good addition, see if that suits your taste, the new remake of Fate/Stay Night is absolutely superb in terms of animation, it might get a bit boring but it is absolutely a fantasy pick as well as history(?).
I loved danmachi, wtf how can you hate fanservice in a harem anime? >.<
No Game No Life follows the premise of two siblings thrown into a fantasy world but it's very different from SAO
Overlord starting this season sounds like it will be like that.
Also Shingeki no Bahamut is a pretty good fantasy tale.
Log horizon
How to pick up girls in a dungeon?

You need a medal for realizing that omg
akame ga kill is good fantasy, but not rpg
Go watch "Devil Survivor 2 The Animation". It's based on an DS game that's gotten a remake really recently for the 3DS; it's pretty much a Megami Tensei anime. It's really well done in the 12 episodes they worked with.
An anime based of a JRPG, can't get any closer than that, right?
try Accel World. Unlike SAO, I found Accel amazing from beginning to end
