Hmmm, do you mean are there any without any fan-service? (Or limited fan-service?)

There are plenty of great anime that don't rely on fan-service at all. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is one of my favorites (quite violent though,) along with Hellsing Ultimate (SUPER Violent)

If you don't mind reading subtitles, there's Log Horizon, which is a new anime with a similar starting premise to SAO, where people become trapped in a game, however beyond that, everything about the anime is completely different from SAO. You can watch it on Crunchyroll.com for free (legally)

But anyways, you'll be hard-pressed to find a recent anime that isn't either filled with fan-service every once in a while, or very violent. I'm assuming you want an anime you can buy the disc of, seeing as you were talking about getting the DVD, so I'm not exactly sure what your options are.
