I'll fix this when I'm not lazy hueh.
About Me
I'm from the Philippines, and I am currently in high school. I play several instruments, and I sometimes post covers of anime soundtracks on my
soundcloud. I'm an INFP low-key obsessed with mbti. :P Aside from anime and manga, I'm a big fan of webtoons (mostly Cheese in the Trap and Spaceboy), Life is Strange, Gravity Falls and Star vs the Forces of Evil. I also enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction, although I wouldn't call myself an avid fan of any specific work of literature right now.

Your review, I thought, didn't say enough. It seemed as though most of your review was simply the explanation of what game that the characters participate in during the series. I just put your review into a word count tool. With the explanation, it's 480 words. Without the explanation of the game, it's 386 words. Without the entire introduction, it's 288 words. I'd like to focus on that 386 word result. An explanation is nice, but an explanation is simply an explanation. If that takes up almost a fifth of your review in length, there simply needs to be more done.
I'll run down the list,
Story: The story section is nice, but could have been used for some personal debate. Was there anything about the story that you didn't like? If so, how could they have combated this? What did you like most? What did this series excel at? Be descriptive! Be vivid! Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more!
Art: This aspect certainly needs more description. You say the art is nice, especially for the main characters, but some other characters' eyes are simply duplicates. What does this result in? Does it even matter? Do the characters' designs overcome this flaw in continuity? What about the backgrounds? The objects? The scenery? Why does it always have to be about the characters? What if the characters walked around in a rough sketch of their current setting. Would you notice?
Sound: I'm basically going to say everything I said in the Art section except with sound. Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more!
Characters: I would think this one at the least would be longer! You state that the characters are coolio and are worth running around screaming like a murderer over. Why? Why are they worth this? Why are the characters coolio? Who are the characters? What are their names? What are their purposes? What are their goals? How do they either hinder or complete each aspect of the anime? How do they fit in? Are they attractive? Can you get me their numbers? I feel like I've lost the point of typing all of these questions.
I'd just put the Enjoyment and Overall sections together at this point, as this is simply way too little for me to go off of. Basically, my advice to you is,
Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more!
Don't be afraid to write a novel. People are looking for description! They're looking for a good anime to pick up or a bad anime to avoid, so tell them what they want to know! If you're going to tell only the bare minimals, they may go into the anime with false expectations, and may end up disliking the series you recommended so earnestly (with no words). Be sure to make your thoughts clear and colorful. Communicate the message of what this show really is with descriptive criticism and professional grammar and structure.
BE AGGRESSIVE!

Also, your review was quite good. I completely agree with everything said.
