Well it is SAO. What do you expect. It is a bit generic, but also it's a source for a lot of pop culture, references and we all probably watched SAO as one of our first 10 animes or something around that.
The Animation is 100 times better than the original, but the constantly crying, bitching and drama that all could be resolved with a single sentence is a bit too obnoxious for my taste. That said I know it will get a bit better in the future, though I heard that the LNs each cover one floor, so the progression will be very slow.
Generally could say it is a bit of a guilty pleasure and just enjoying SAO. Because I did enjoy it (allthough sometimes I screamed at the screen or facepalmed). It is not the best, it is not a must watch. But if you like SAO, you will probably enjoy this.
Also: Strongest point: The Ending song slaps.
