ROMEO X JULIET

Post by Gallennon »

Just saw the first three episodes of Romeo X Juliet, I thought I would have issues with an anime Romeo and Juliet, but this series is awesome. They are taking the base plot of Romeo and Juliet, setting it in a fantasy future world and mixing it with all of Shakespeare's other plays, creating an even more elaborate and interesting story, while engrossing viewers with quotes, concepts, and scenes form some of his classic plays. Shakespeare is also a primary character in the series helping out Juliet.

Here is the Opening form the anime:
