In case you are just looking for a story about characters litterally inside a videogame then both SAO and HxH Green Island (along with its sequel: HxH Green Island Final) could be of your liking, because they both share:
• RPG with a virtual reality (including quests, gaining items, special skills, and such)
• The game over means real death for all players in both stories
• The characters are somewhat trapped inside the game, and to get out they must achieve a certain point and clear the game
• Overall good art design and nice characters

Probably you might be discourauged by watching HxH Green Island as you might think that you need to watch also the previous series: well that's true and yet not. It's always very much preferible to watch every prequel in order to have a better knowledge about characters, personalities, backgrounds and techniques; and I, myself, recommend to watch the prequels, but if i have to be honest: Green Island (and Green Island Final) it's about an "almost stand-alone" canon arc from the manga, where the main character, in order to search for his father, joins this special RPG, and if you have a little of hintuition you might not necessarily need to watch all the prequels.

That said, both SAO and Green Island (arc) are quite enjoyable.
If you liked one of those, you might really give a try to the another as well, cuz they are quite similar! read more

Both anime feature characters that are trapped in video games that need to make it to a certain point to escape.

- Inside a game
- RPG-like Virtual Reality 
- Lovable characters
- "Game Over" = die in real life.
- Can't "log off from the game". Must clear it.
Don't forget the continuation, Hunter x Hunter: Greed Island Final!

hunter x hunter Greed island and Hunter x hunter Greed island final are similar because

1) it is about kids who enter a game and if they die thy die and real life

2)these both are about :clearing " the game,same goal

The 5th sotry arc of Hunter x Hunter. 
Both are set in an RPG-like virtual reality where people actually die when it's "Game Over", Although Hunter x Hunter: Greed Island has more of a twist to it. You need to watch the other OVA "Greed Island Final" making it a total of 22 episodes 

report Recommended by Mikasa

Both are about being in a game.
If you die in the game you die in real life 

report Recommended by Gallient

Virtual reality.
You should clear the game to come out of it.
If you die in the game, you die in real life.

Fighting "in-game world" with Supernatural powers. 

report Recommended by SAO_Kirito_SAO

You die in the game, you die in real life. Same concept.
I wanted to recommend Hunter x Hunter 2011 but I think it's better if I'm more specific. So I recommended this OVA instead.

The stories are centred around finding various things and returning them to card-form to fill up a book. The characters also fight with the cards once they have obtained them.

The main characters are similar. Both feature a video game like setting with leveling up, weapon upgrade, etc. As the story progresses, stronger enemies challenges the main character.
