As I said earlier, if something is done well, then it is generally good. Not great, but at least good.
(It goes without saying, at least for me, that a "great" show has a good premise and good execution.)

I agree with this.
I also think that we should differentiate between how premise & execution attract audience and how they add to the experience of watching the anime itself.
An anime with original or unusual premise might attract more audience than anime with a tired premise. Still, when all things are said & done, cliche'd anime with exceptional execution always triumph over premise-driven anime with poor execution (quality-wise, not commercial-wise). So, in the end, good execution might not be the
only thing that matters, but it surely is the
most important thing for a story.
