It's a good review. The only thing I would recommend is grouping together a few things and making it more concise.

You could probably break it down a bit more. It sounds like you're writing a persuasive essay than a review.

To mayukachan - Now that I read that, it definitely makes sense. The flow is a little straightforward in a slightly unproductive sense.

To Ryugen - Very true now that I think about it. Thanks for the eye opener.

Quite nice, though you should take out the first paragraph (not the quote), or at least put it further on. Remember: people read reviews because they're interested in a given series, not in you.

Right, try to remove as many 'I's as possible.

To yazio - Very true, took your advice there and it actually flows better and gets to the point faster. Thanks.

To Ryugen - Thank you.

To Qatami - Yes, in a sense. But not the way you might be thinking. I just mean the facets of it such as readability, clarity, flow, wording, etc. Not my thoughts on the show though ;)
