Thanks Char. I'm trying to avoid watching the series because it feels like it will have a little more thrill of you don't know how the first version was supposed to go.

I'd argue that you should probably watch it because:
1) The RP is going to follow the plot line of the show (only we'll be playing side characters and the main plot will only affect us in certain ways)
2) Its a really good anime. I have never gotten more pumped up over politics in my life. You come for the better version of SAO, you stay for the politics, no lie.
