Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online

BANG BANG BANG ★
An anime in which handguns are coolly portrayed and used as the primary weapon.

Anime series that take place inside a virtual game world, often by playing a virtual reality game (VRMMO) with other players, or by being transported into a new world with videogame rules, RPG stats, levels and other game-like elements.
The first shows in this stack are pure VRMMO anime where the protagonist plays a VR game, while shows further down the list are other types of virtual worlds or isekai worlds with game mechanics.

Animes mainly about height difference and the obstacles that result from it.

* This list does not include anime with short or tall characters but that does not talk about height difference as one of its main themes.

* Always under construction, recommend me an anime :)

Anime with a modern gun focus.

A stack anime series and movies (mostly Ghibli) that have a female protagonist from my completed anime list.

You go to, or use a electronic terminal, "warp", go. Full VR Immersion ensues.
Or your world needs to run on internet Infrastructure. At least a relevant part of it.

Not complete by any means, but it's there.

Using here a more loose definition of a Metaverse, as made by a group, or some organization.

From the Snow Crash story: "When Hiro goes into the Metaverse and looks down the Street and
sees buildings and electric signs stretching off into the darkness,
disappearing over the curve of the globe, he is actually staring at the graphic
representations -- the user interfaces -- of a myriad different pieces of
software that have been engineered by major corporations."

Sword art online anime list to find out correct watch order and learn little bit about SAO. Listed in a chronological order, without overcomplicating content like recaps or 'super extra' content.
Anything that doesn't necessarily better your anime viewing experience isn't included in this list. This list is for people who want enjoy watching Sword art online without annoyance. The novels are probably good read if you want more SAO.

Some specials like Gun Gale Online are in middle of main story, for if it is more in par with one season (this case 2nd season) than others.

I share some of my opinions of the entries on this list. It might tell you little details on composition of the SAO series, but most of it is just my opinions and shouldn't spoil anything.

Shouldn't contain any major spoilers.

Both real guns and toy guns, as long as it can shoot. (so, no Persona 3)

Isekai (and videogame) anime with a female main character.
