Even if it had a few unrealistic bits here and there, I thought it was a great episode. Funny and pretty heartwarming. I'm starting to wonder who exactly that old man is.

It looks like they're slowly revving up for a big confrontation, buying sword and armour, getting more followers, this is my motivation for sticking with the series.

EditL: Willy's really funny. I liked his interaction with Curio.
I still really hate what Gonzo did to this guy, I'm hoping that they can atone for their sins by making him do something during the final fight. He does look like he has some remorse in his eyes, but with out a backbone to capitalize on, I don't see him doing jack right now.


I laughed hard here, I don't think I was supposed to though.

This episode had me laughing a lot actually, which surprised me. I guess the little things like Willy teasing Curio and what not. Also, Emila and her fits and when she happened to yell at Conrad, whom seemed utterly confused. Things like that were far too entertaining. The end was cute, if anything, I'm glad to see them together.

But I am confused a bit, besides Romeo of course, it seems that both Francisco and Curio like Juliet...? I dunno, there's too many subtle (and not so) hints, I guess I must have missed a lot of them due to the fact I was too focused on the main couple though.

Meh Kana is right, I also think both Francisco and Curio do have a feeling or two for Juliet, since they've been together a long time...
But I think focusing on the main char is much more important since it's all about what the title says RomeoxJuliet ^^

I hope we can find out soon enough who that old man is, it's too mysterious how he knows everything about Juliet's ability to hear Escalus's scream...

Was a good laughing episode, ended with a nice cute romantic scene. Lookin forward for moar RxJ~

I wonder if there will be any jealously expressed by those two when they see RxJ together. for example, i'm positive Curio will be at the entrance of the church to see them kissing, how is he goin to react to that? He knows juliet loves romeo, but he's never seen that love....it might not be good.

like everyone else, i am also confused about the old man. he just pops out of no where to save the day everytime! "oh? you need seeds? that can only grow on this crap land, well....i got just the thing...let me see here, oh here we go, there."

the battle for Neo Verona needs to start soon though, they are running out of episodes....

Francisco and Curio like Juliet? Not really sure where you guys are getting that from. They probably just think of her as a dear sister or something.

Crappy episode aside from the last 3 minutes imo.

Re-watch the scene of them two talking and sharing a glass of wine. Francisco's is more obvious than Curio's love, which I don't see, but oh well.

yea, and in a previous episode, Francisco basically told Curio that he needs to go after her....which i'm guessing is why he's been around her a lot lately, volunteering to escort her to various places, etc etc.

Have you been watching the same series as we have?

(1) Francisco's entire conversation w/ Curio on the carriage ride to the home they're staying at now a few episodes back... (the one where Francisco and Curio trip... and go tumbling down a hill together).

(2) Like WestExit said... rewatch the scene where they're sharing a glass of wine.

They're not even "maybe" or a "blink and you'll miss it" moments... they're pretty straight forward and in your face. They both basically "admit" to having feelings for her without ever saying a word. Re-watch... you'll see what we mean. ^_^

eta: It almost feels as if RxJ is becoming a reverse harem... O_o ... who's next... Tybalt... or Mercutio... ?? O_o

Hmm, I guess I just missed those scenes or dialog because I don't really care about them. If anyone even got close to Juliet, aside from Romeo, I'd drop the series like a rock. We're watching Romeo x Juliet here, not Juliet x Somerandomguy

LOL...true true, but i seriously doubt that the producers would do something that stupid.

and i agree with Siing, the fight for neo verona needs to start up again, these character development episodes are killing me. thank god for the Duke's crazy little murder thing an episode ago. Tybalt needs to get back in the action again too.

I'm happy to see Romeo has done something useful. Thought he was just utterly useless for the entire series. Seeing the town prospering and him having earn everyone's trust and respect through his own power puts a smile on one's face.

LOL at RxJ turning into a reverse harem. I assumed Tybalt will join the harem too.

This episode actually made me laugh out loud at a point or two.
I expected to see more of tybalt though...he needs more action and screentime!
T.T

But the ending was FABULOUS. Simply FABULOUS.

The ending made me go "Awww". :D

Wow... I thought Romeo's whole "build a town" thing would fail. But it's surprisingly successful. It's kind of nice to see him do something really useful and build something up like that... as opposed to his father, who just destroys peace rather than creating it.

It was good to see Mercutio with some sadness or something like that in his face at his dad's funeral. I think I would've reeeally hated him if he was just standing there looking arrogant.

Francisco and Curio both liking Juliet makes sense, but I actually never really noticed that Francisco liked her... until this episode of course. DX

The end was so beautiful! I have tears in my eyes!

The whole episode was sweet and funny. A nice break from all the drama and stuff, in my opinion. I liked it!

Ah I see what they did there, "The Play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King..." I mean Prince... I mean villagers of a sleepy farming community so that they'll become soldiers or something.

I thought this was a pretty good episode sort of like when a gymnast pauses to get everything lined up before starting on a tumbling pass.

oh a beautiful episode it was so cute and i just wanna say i always knew francisco and curio were in love with juliet it was completely obvious but maybe it's because i watch so many romance anime's that i know what love looks like and spot it easily!

oh and i almost squealed like a crazed fangirl at the end but it's 6am and i would've woke my parents

I don't know about Mercutio...but Romeo already thought she was with Tybalt after the one scene pretty early on,I don't remember context, ah! I'm pretty sure it was right after that crooked priest died.

Again, I thought it was okay, this show is losing my interest.

I do find it odd how everyone seems to be in love with Juliet, even the gorgeous Francisco who can have his pick of the ladies, he's way too hot and probably a bit too old for her. I mean she's a nice girl, but considering the boys in love with her saw her dressed as a boy most of the time, I would have thought that might be a bit off putting. I dunno.

It was cute how Romeo and Juliet were reunited at the end though.

That reunion was so touching. And damn is Romeo ever turning out to be the leader type. A little bit too optimistic but that isnt such a bad thing in times of despair.

Juliet feeling sorry for herself as usual, Lovesick puppy.
Romeo actually making the most of a bad situation, maybe he can turn things around.
