I never thought I'd say "smooth move, Romeo" without a trace of sarcasm...

Do you have a source for that? Ugh, I hate getting gouged on R2s.

Well, yeah, but c'mon. It's definitely one of the better-animated versions of that cliche, though.

This series has shown to me the awesome power of wigs. Wear one (even one that's the same color as your natural hair) and all of a sudden nobody knows who you are nor your gender. It's amazing. go wigs!

Episode 5 is the best episode so far. We see a lot of themes being presented, all adding depth and emotion. It's a relief to know that the writer/director is really taking the story on a serious note. The politics, the human struggle, and the showcased desperation ties the episode beautifully and tragically.

[spoiler]The doctor impersonating the Red Whirlwind is going to die next episode; that's pretty much the reason why he's doing it just to protect Juliet and get rid of that martial law. Such a noble sacrifice.[/spoiler]

Makes me wonder what their next move would be.

I think the bigger mystery is where does all that hair go when she puts on that wig... hammerspace? :lol:

well its definately more than 6 episodes,
since
at the end of episode 6 a new character shows up on a black pegasus just in the nick of time when Juliet as odin was in a big pinch!
I wonder who this person is, my shakespare is a bit rusty to play guessing games at this moment ;p

makes sense actually, since he appears in a sorta similar fashion in the play. Knowing his persona, I can't wait to see how episode 7 plays out :twisted:

... And I'm only just now noticing the spoiler tag was added as a bbcode.. O_o I don't use the buttons, so I hardly notice when new ones show up :p

This anime is picking up a lot of depth. I'm thoroughly enjoying each addition and interpretation to this classic tale. The ending to this episode was quite a surprise. It would seem cliche but the way the introduction was presented was quite was spectacular. Yeah, I also think it's [spoiler]Tybalt[/spoiler], although in this anime presentation, he's more serious and much darker than what I first expected.

2x.
I'm wanting to see more of [spoiler]Tybalt[/spoiler]
The fighting should look cool when things heat up.

If Gonzo can remix Monte Cristo, Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, and RxJ.

Imagine what Alice in Wonderland could look like.[/spoiler]

I only watched one episode of this, and it does seem pretty cool! But, I don't know if I'm going to watch any more...*ponders*

Ahh, btw, is it just me, or is...erm...Romeo much better looking than Juliet in this? ^_^*
