When I originally stumbled across Romeo x Juliet about a year ago now, I passed it by thinking that it would be another corny remake of the original story with basically the same story as every other Romeo and Juliet out there. It was out of boredom that I decided to watch it recently, but I had no expectations of actually enjoying it. How wrong I was proved.
Overall the anime was beautifully written and the spin on Romeo and Juliet was very well done, with many surprising twist that will keep the viewer interested. Juliet's character was well developed and notably was a strong heroine
...
figure; something that is refreshing to see. Though the art wasn't too much to my complete liking (a bit simplistic for my taste), the story made up for it and kept my interest (admitted there were a few dry episodes in the middle but both the beginning and ending make up for those one or two episodes). I would recommend that people who like romance and a bit of action as well as a some angst watch this. It's well worth it.
Though I would suggest that you make sure you have a box of tissues with you at the end if you're prone to crying easily.
