The premise reminds me of the .hack franchise and even more so considering the musical compositions will be done by Yuki Kajiara, which .hack's music was done by as well (through See-Saw) .
Some excellent visuals there by A-1 Pictures. Modern animation seems to be just getting better and better lately and it's becoming incredibly difficult to label a studio as having the "best visuals". |

anyway A-1 isnt know for the best visuals, but it sure has a very fluid animation, wich i think would be great for this kind of series.

You can describe A-1 as "mercenaries studio" because if they want to they have all access to hire the best and talented freelance animator available (like what they do with Idolm@ster anime with that all of that ex-Gainax) because their relation as subsidiaries of aniplex, and staff/animator recruting is one of the most important aspect to make good-looking show (maybe its even more important than being "good studio" itself.)
Hence that's why most of their show lately is on "safe" side, because they have that power to assemble solid production group in project that they want to strike. But albeit they do relying on freelance hiring, they do have good staff in their own circle like Shingo Adachi (anime chara designer and Chief animation director of this show)

I'm really curious on what the bonus materials would be for the anime. I mean Kawahara's writing a new book for AW and JC's animating the 4komas. I would kill to see the SAO 4komas animated as they're insanely hilarious. |

this already have been said, but the character designs of the anime are very similar to the actual ones of the novel, just look at the vido pusted by ala alba.
Spoiler for or look at these:
you migth like the older designs more, but its not the studio fault.

The preview looked great and I loved the music in the background. It has a really adventurous feel too it. But what was with the rainbow (?) surroundings when the trailer was showing a boss fight, I'm guessing? For some reason, I always pictured the labyrinths without ceilings, and are instead, just open.
