I do agree that Romeo was a little ripped off characterization wise. I think a lot of effort was poured into making Juliet so awesome, Romeo was left a little...bare. Hopefully that changes for the better.

I just finished watching episode 7 raw, and all I have to say is wow. I didn't understand much but a few choices phases here and there (I'm working on my conversational Japanese.) but the point was made clear as day. I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone, but I need the sub NOW!

I was showing RxJ to my friend yesterday.
Me: Now, Romeo isn't that bright. All he has going for him is that he's cute. Juliet could have done a lot better, in my opinion, but that's okay because they're cute together. Because Romeo's cute. And he has enough cuteness for both of them.
Friend: He looks like a cat. -_-;
Black hair, green eyes... OOOOOH. ^_^ He just got 10x better.
I'm such a fangirl. xD

Yeah. Romeo's pretty oblivious to life, poor thing. I mean...dude. xD Odin has boobs. How could he miss that? Poor boy. But I think he's sweet nonetheless. xD

Yeah... being sweet doesn't help much in reality. Being sweet at that age just gets you dumped while the girl goes after a bad boy.

"Ohmygosh, you look exactly like Juliet, but without the long hair which is exactly the same colour! And you smell like irises, just like Juliet! But there's no way you can be Juliet because you're pretending to be a boy. And it's unthinkable Juliet would ever pretend to be a boy!" EDIT: www.crunchyroll.com/showmedia?id=70919Episode SEVEN! Oh. my. gosh. -fangirl spasm- Is it bad I was nearly in tears at the end of that episode?!!?!

Watched 7, yeah apparently Juliet's short hair disguise is as convincing as Clark Kent's Glasses >_<. So Romeo knows who she really is now, it'll be only a matter of time before does something stupid like, I dunno, yell out her real name in public... oh he's already done that. Some minor plot character like Mercutio is gonna hear him then the axe will fall.
The song sequence was well done but for some reason I felt REALLY bad for Hermonine.

I laughed at Hermione though, being so pathetic... I'm sorry. xD I mean, she knew the roses were too "overwhelming" for Romeo... so she immediately says they're his flower? She's not too bright...I've watched the ending of seven six times now. Or seven? I lost count after the third or so. I only just now noticed Juliet is pushing Romeo away during the embrace. xD I wonder what else in the series I've missed...

I feel sorry for Hermonie because she's seems like she was raised to be a Montegue consort unfortunately Romeo is completely differnt than his father.

I was talking to Night and I was like "You know...screaming Juliet's name in the middle of public makes you look silly." XD But honestly, I feel bad for Hermione. She probably feels like trash considering Romeo dissed her for a smooch session with Juliet. Ahem. xD

I don't think anyone heard him, luckily. Is it bad whenever I see that scene I scream, "STELLLLLLLA!"? I know, it's nothing like A Streetcar Named Desire, but the power of the name is the same. ;D

They really need to improve Romeo's characterization. Right now he's a naive pretty rich boy that can't stand up to his father, now has no real friends he can turn to, hell in some respect he's pretty dam Emo (emo = emotionally mentally challenged).
IF he died in the next ep i don't think I'd feel any sort of lose, other than my crazy theory that RxJ will get married but he'll take her name wouldn't happen.

I'm glad in episode 7 they gave Romeo an intellegence boost (the geek coming out in me). He doesn't seem to mind the Juliet is a Capulet as much as Juliet herself does. Romeo has his problems too and I think those will be more pronounced in the episodes to come.
We also have to forgive Romeo because his "play" counter part was a love sick romantic. I never liked Romeo in the play so I'm hoping for some change in the anime version.
