Shirobako

Shirobako, otherwise known as "Anime - The Anime" and Bakuman, "Manga - The Anime". Both animes are excellent and give great insight into how both anime and manga respectively are produced. Both stories also follow a group of friends from a young age into adulthood as they chase their dreams. Bakuman also has a romance subplot however, which is worked in beautifully. If you liked one be sure to give the other a try, you won't regret it

Swordplay and romance are center pieces of both of these anime, if you liked SAO and can handle a bit of ecchi you'll probably like this show

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

The protagonist is literally the same person incarnated into a different story line. Very similar in lots of ways. The primary difference being the lack of magic and the addition of fanservice to the Grisaia story line.

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry
|
Very similar setting, magic school, with an "under-powered" protagonist, Rakudai is primarliy swordplay with magic as a secondary and the latter is in contrast, primarily magic with less focus on the physical plane. After watching both shows you have to think that one must have been inspired by the other.
