Even if you do get SRs, you would be more likely to keep them so as to try for a HSR for the collection. After you have done that and then maxed their relationship, then yes, you can medal the HSR (and SR variants if you get extras). SR gives 2000 medals, HSR gives 3200 medals. You lost 800 medals because medaling both SRs would have given you 4000 medals, not 3200.

Then again SRs are rare, as you say, so keeping any that you already have is a good idea until you are sure you do not want them after HSR/relations. R cards are your best bet right now, as well as looking for any Arcana ATK/DEF+. All I can say is, you have to keep hitting, and remember that assists always help more in terms of points and drops. Drops could be different for people though, I usually do get more drops from others' assist requests. Getting an ace (which I know is supremely difficult) raises your chances slightly overall.

I live an hour behind Japan, but I hardly touch raws unless it is a show I really like (Love Live! S2 was an exception and I did watch it raw on the same night). Otherwise I just wait for subs the next morning, meaning Americans usually watch it before I do since anime airs late at night and some subs come out not long after the anime aired (ie. evening in America).

Also I already dropped SAO. Too much one-man show. Log Horizon was so much better and that is getting a S2 this fall. I do blog on anime, you seem to have followed me on Twitter so you will see my Tumblr posts show up there soon, I already finished the first day of my summer season's picks there.
