Posting this here just in case some Queen Mab and anime fans want to see something good ;D:
Finally decided to watch SAO aka Sword Art Online
It has a stunning art style and fight scenes. The plot premise is also very, very good, but they totally failed to develop the characters properly. But despite the fact that the character development will leave you disappointed, I was never bored while watching this show!
Here's an example of the winged faery battles:

"learn to fly" is my fav lyric.
The entire series is good, but the wings don't start until the middle of series. In actuality, the winged stuff marks an even further downward spiral of bad character development, but I still liked it anyway.
They actually talk about categories of faeries like spriggan, sylph, undine, salamander, gnome, imp, etc. These were faery races that the Merlin novels mention in passing too!
I'm probably willing to overlook the show's flaws because I've always been a big MMORPG player myself and the idea of being trapped inside an online game....well that just sounds fucking fantastic lol, especially if you get to have faery wings and fly around 'n stuff.
If you're an old fan of the series .hack//Sign like I am, it's very different. There's a ton of action, unlike Sign.
P.S. You can stream this on crunchyroll I think, but I torrented it. It's only in Japanese with English subs at the moment. They are releasing an English dub soon-ish. Google is your friend for finding things in whatever format you desire.
