| Pretty good start, digging the setting and the last scene left a strong impression. Hope this show turns out as good as I hope for. |

| "You Raise Me Up?" I know it's by Secret Garden, but I'm more familiar with Josh Grobin's version. It's very pretty, but it's weird to hear such a recent song in a story that dates back to the 16th century. Also, Odin (Juliet) crossdressing as a boy while crossdressing as a girl is amazingly Shakespeare-ish and I love that idea. It helps that Twelfth Night is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. The meeting between Romeo and Juliet in front of the fountain was so fairy tale-like. It's almost childish, but I like how the show didn't go out of its way to try anything fancy or twisty with the meeting. Romeo and Juliet is a famous love story, so I couldn't imagine the meeting going any other way. That hard rock ending was completely out of place by the way. |
| And that, ladies and gentlemen, is called love at first sight ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Loved the first episode, I am already hooked. Cannot wait to see where this goes. The Opening was also very beautiful and quite fitting. |

| Great first episode. The series really draws you in quickly and has no pretense on the viewer not knowing the general plot for Romeo and Juliet so just gets right to it thankfully. Only criticism is that Ending Song, seriously poor choice at least at this early stage. Oh and that Opening is so blatantly a rip off of You Raise Me Up it's almost comical. |
| a lot of chance encounters solely to advance the plot, but they are still grounded. i do hope the fantasy elements are mainly reserved for the worldbuilding and that they wouldn't deviate the story from the original. the opening song is lovely, and i'm already liking the poetic sensibilities in its narration. i could adjust to this art style — so far so good. |

| oh boy another literary classic poorly adapted and reinterpreted. at least it's just another romeo&juliet bastardization, fun source material to wreck |
