Romeo x Juliet Series
Within Neo Verona, the noble house of Capulet had ruled peacefully for generations - until fourteen years ago, when the
ancient grudge held by the rival house of Montague led to a mutiny, and the Capulets were overthrown and all wiped out
in a bloody coup. A young girl, Juliet, is the only
member of her family to escape the massacre of the Capulet family at the hands of Leontes Montague. Fourteen years
later, Lord Montague rules the land of Neo-Verona with an iron-fist. As the citizens of the city suffer, the Capulet
clan struggles to strike a blow against their enemies, and the Montague’s tighten their grasp on power, Romeo Montague protests his father's cruelty. Juliet and
Romeo meet by coincidence at the Rose Ball and fall in love at first sight. And the fates of two star crossed lovers are
about to become tragically intertwined... an unlikely love blossoms between Romeo and Juliet -however, when Juliet turns
sixteen and learns the truth of her past that has been hidden from her for fourteen years, this ill-fated love may be
doomed from the start. Triumph or tragedy; in the face of such adversity, only fate knows what awaits Romeo and
Juliet... conflicted between revolution and devotion.

SnickerdoodleNinja's Romeo x Juliet Tv Review
Rated:
One of the major concerns that I personally have when I pick up romances is the concern that the series will become so in love with its main couple that it loses sight of all of its supporting characters. Considering both the title and play of origin, this was also a major concern of mine for Romeo x Juliet. However, RxJ proved me wrong, giving ample attention to a fairly large cast, whether it be the adorkable Romeo, the brooding, Batman-like Tybalt or even the comic playwright Will.

I think W.Shakespeare couldn't be upset by this version of his works. I really have liked the world of Verona - like every little girl at childhood I dreamed about Pegas (unicorn, dragon etc.) This story was sad, and although sometimes it was too sweet I still like it

Loved the mix of Shakespeare's plays donne on this anime: it has a lot from Romeo and Juliet but also from Hamlet, A
Midsummer Night's Dream, etc.. It has the essence of that plays in a unique storyline.
The Red Whirlwind (Zorro-like) is my favourite character.
Neo-Verona as a mist between Europeen middle age and fantasy is also an amazing scenario.
And the opening song (translated version of Josh Groban's You Raise me Up) is so great I can't stop earing it.
I don't know why, but recently I've been jumped to Romeo-Juliet world - perhaps since I was ordered to handle project of 'The Butterfly Lovers' performance. Then I tried to watch this anime to get another perspective of Romeo & Juliet story (tragical love exactly). I'm quite satisfied with this anime. It's not just make animation based on legendary story, but Gonzo has made a tragical love anime on their own. I'm not very disappointed with the ending.
SnickerdoodleNinja rated 9.00:Although, I respected Shakespeare's original play, I was never a huge fan of it, probably because its nature as a play meant there was next to no time for character development. This anime, however, I LOVED. While taking the basic premise of the play, Romeo x Juliet had wonderful character development, beautiful music and art, and expanded greatly on the story. And thought the ending was sad, it was filling and uplifting. Probably one of my favorite shows.
Bediviere rated 6.75:Sometimes it was so sweet I thought I was goint to get deabetes. But it was good, I loved the opening and the fin was pretty good. It has some changes from the real novel, good thing I think, it adds something new, and Shakespeare was funny.
