*oh boy another chance to rant about this show*
There are so many things I could say about why I thought SAO was a terrible show. The first 2-3 episodes are good, really good actually I was quite pulled in. Then it just goes straight downhill faster than a roller coaster. Enter in harem king Kirito, making every girl fall in love with him including his own cousin/sister. Let's not forget about his OP moves and the fact that the once possible strong female character Asuna, end up not even appearing for half the series and when she does it's either to become one with Kirito or to play damsel in distress. If you were hoping for plot, better skip to about a quarter way in to the show, after the first episode it doesn't show about again for about another 7ish episodes. If you're still daring enough to keep with the show after all that, the second half of the show, well if the first half was a downhill roller coaster this half mise as well be so far underground you're halfway to China. But for the sake of spoilers I'm just gonna stop.
Long story short, I don't think it's a good show and I don't think you should watch it. If you're looking for an anime with a similar theme (trapped in a game) there are many other options. .hack/sign, Log Horizon, Accel World, BTOOOM; despite what people think SAO is not that original.
Try it if you must, if anything because it's so popular; personally I think it's honestly one of the worst things I've ever seen. But to each their own way.
