Don't let the title keep you away

I don’t believe Shakespere’s Romeo and Juliet is even close to being his best or most romantic work but this is the best adaptation of that story I’ve ever seen. I think girls and guys alike will like it. It’s a beautiful blend of action and romance although there isn’t much comedy if that’s your thing. The Seiyuu’s do an amazing job; everyone’s voice fit their character perfectly and the acting (emotions) really came through. I just wish there had been a bit more of Ryotaro Okiayu’s Tybalt. The animation is also top notch- especially at the beginning of the series.

I watched the first six episodes without even realizing it and when deciding to watch just one more I ended up on episode eleven. It’s that good. The only negative thing I can say is that I wasn’t too fond of the Escalus subplot BUT because it didn’t really have much importance until the last 3-4 episodes I can overlook it.
