Wow, I really did not expect this anime to be made of some much awesome and win. I mean really, WOW. Definitely my favorite anime of the new season. For those who don't know, Romeo and Juliet is a story of two star crossed lovers, each from a family that rivals the other. But the anime, of course, is all Gonzo-ified, so it's a bit different. But different in a really really good way. I think what caught me the most was when I watched the opening song. First of all, the fact that the song is a Japanese version of "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban is just too amazing for words. The woman who sings it does an amazing job. Go! Watch it for yourself!

I just saw the first episode. Im dissapointed by how loosely its based on Shakespeares play.

I just finished the play yesterday.
So, it's supposed to be like Romeo and Juliet but animefied?

That looks insanely awesome (from the theme song). It's now at the top of my "to watch" list.

It looks like it has good animation. But what's with all the characters? Are there really that many in the play? I never really paid attention.

Whats with the stupid "capulets are all dead" and "Juliet fight for justice" thing? *is annoyed by teh unfaitfulness* I'm guessing it's based on Romeo and Juliet (because it's definitely not the same but who cares) Since the theme song is awesome, I had to go find it in English. Bit inspirational, but not too bad.

They did the same with The Count of Monte Cristo (Titled "Gankutsuou") There isn't always enough plot to to last as long as they want the anime too, so they take a fare amount of artistic license. I think it makes it more fun, now I won't know what's going to happen next. I wonder what they'll do to the ending, I know they changed the one in The Count of Monte Cristo. And the fact that William Shakespeare is an actual character and is busy writing different plays during the anime, it is suggested that this story will be significantly different than the play~

I have never heard of this anime. I have read Shakespeare works numerous times for English and know much about it but can someone give me a link.
