Romeo x Juliet [ロミオ × ジュリエット]
Well, what to say about this? I qatched the first (subbed) episode yesterday (the second was aired, but not subbed yet). If you've ever read William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet you will soon realise that just the story's central idea and the names are taken from this gorgeous novel. I read Romeo and Juliet some time ago so I don't remember everything, but I thought this Anime would be more like the novel I remember - Aynway, was very impressed by the first episode and you definitely cann enjoy this anime and its story if you forget about the original Romeo and Juliet.
At the episode's beginning you meet Juliet as a little child running away from the people who killed her parents - who actually are sent by the Montagues - and from there an she has to hide in a theater (where a person called Will lives) in the so-called Neo Verona. Juliet meets Romeo the first time when she saves a girl who is suspected of being a Capulet and so should be killed. Juliet runs away (she wears a costume) and falls from a broken stair (if I remember this rightfully - I am actually downloading the episode - watched it at my darling's PC). Romeo is saving her with the help of his Pegasi (looks like well..Pegasus. Usually noblesse have Pegasi in Neo Verona). The meet again at a ball arranged by the Montague's and well.. both blush the whole time, because Romeo somehow felt that the person he saved is a girl. I think he remembered her eyes.
I was deifnitely impressed - the Anime is very well-done and looks fantastic. Another PLUS - it has a FITTING opening (Lena Park - ~ Inori ~ You raise me up listen (mainpage)). Think this is a series I will adore since I love romantical stories ^_^ And in my opinion this does defitnitely not have to be as deep-going as William Shakespeares original.
Torrent downloads Have a look :D
Screenshots will be follow when I've downloaded the episode XD
