Has anyone been watching this? I think it's amazing for so many reasons.

For those of you who haven't seen it, you're probably thinking "Oh no, not ANOTHER remake of the Romeo and Juliet story!" Don't worry! It's not the same! It's actually quite different.

The story takes place on the floating island of Neo Verona. The tyrant Montague is the current ruler. The sky itself is wrapped in a deep dense fog. Both Romeo and Juliet's lineages are of present and past ruling families of Neo Verona. Romeo is the son of the current Montague dictator, Juliet, masquerading as a man (Odin), is the last descendent of the Capulets (the previous rulers who were killed by Montague 14 years ago). Her true background is not to be revealed to her until her 16th birthday...

It's also done by Gonzo, so the animation is pretty amazing. Some of the voice talents are Kazuhiko Inoue (as Shakespeare ^^), Takahiro Mizushima, and Ryotaro Okiayu as a very smexy Tybalt XD
Definitely fits into the Romance/Fantasy/Drama genre, so if that's not your thing, well, who cares, watch it anyways. lol.

I follow every episode every week, and I'm loving it!

The only thing I don't like is the opening song...was never fond of "You Raise me Up" but I guess it suits it.

I love the dragon horses...I want one

I want a flying horse too! (and I wouldn't mind having a Tybalt too) I definitely think the opening song suits the show but it's annoying to listen to after a while. I wonder how many episodes it'll have?

yea it does Chibi! cept their clothing patterns stay put instead of dance circles around your eyes Razz

The guy who voices the Duke of Montague is the same voice actor who did the Count's right hand man. I actually thought it was the Count, but I looked it up and it wasn't Razz

You Raise Me up, is so overplayed thanks to Josh Groban O_O But I guess it could be worse. They could've chose Avril's "Keep Holding On" >.>

I think I'd cry if they used Avril's song...

I finally bought the first boxset of this show and I dunno. I find it to be really slow and kinda boring. I'm hoping the second box set is a bit more action packed or something. I'm starting to want to kill Romeo myself.
