I haven't seen SAO yet but, people say Asuna is a bit like Saber only Saber is better. Which she is boss <3. Start with Fate/Zero first before you watch Fate/stay night, Fate/stay night was released first but storyline, Fate/Zero took place 10 years prior & of course, Fate/Zero is wayyyyyyyy better. I like Rin Tohsaka too, especially in her child year. ^_^ What do you like exactly? Comedy? Romance? Action? Horror? There actually are good & worthy anime to watch. I haven't really gotten into them until this summer tbh & I've already seen over 200 series x)
But Code Geass is very epic, you must see that one. Angel Beats is a great series about the afterlife, all has great action scenes. Angel Beats got some comedy in it also.
Clannad is a Harem, a guy revolved about 4-5 girls. I love Kyou, the a tad bit older twin <3 (Purple hair, bad mouthy, you may had seen her in my signature). Its basically a school life with great moments to drop you in tears. Clannad is very worthy. Uhh what else..Shakugan no Shana is a hit or miss, got action but you either love it or say its alright. in this case, I LOVE! Accel World is sort of like Accel World, the whole gaming aspect, give that one a try. I only got into it because Kuroyukihime. BEAUTY QUEEN!
So yeah x)
