The Sword Art Online TV anime first aired in July 2012, and has since inspired followup seasons, spinoffs and more. All of the anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll, which sums it up like so:

 

In the near future, a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online has been released where players control their avatars with their bodies using a piece of technology called: Nerve Gear. One day, players discover they cannot log out, as the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they die in the game, they die in real life. Their struggle for survival starts now...
