Not necessarily a reimagining, but a premise. A concept.

My recommendation for SAO is watch the first season and pretend like the rest doesn't exist.

    Mine is legitimately just watch SAO abridged. It reworks story beats for a smoother story in addition to adding gags

    Is that rework anything like full metal alchemist Vs. FMA brotherhood? Like starts the same but then goes somewhere else?

    I already have a copy of the whole SAO so I’ll probably still watch it (I’ve watched some pretty questionable stuff all the way through just because I started it..) but if it’s genuinely worth watching both, even if just for the sake of comparison, I’ll try to find a copy.

    SAO abridged is a fan parody that you can find on YouTube, but as said before me, it has a way better storyline than the original and the production quality is incredible for a fan project.

    The only downside is that the team can make approximately one episode per year.

    Brotherhood is an official anime. SAO abridged is a fan made parody on YouTube. it recuts and redubs but that's it. And its purpose isn't to tell the whole SAO story, it's to make gags. It just inadvertently made a better story than SAO itself, mostly by changing certain characters motivations

    Edit: oh and if you're intent on watching the full version at all, watch it before the abridged
