Product Description
Love is something you never regret….

For most of her young life, Juliet was forced to live a tortuous lie. Disguised as a boy, she lurked in the shadows of Neo Verona. Escaping from the monotony of a life in hiding only as the Crimson Whirlwind – a masked crusader determined to right the wrongs of a heinous regime. But now, as her people’s suffering reaches unspeakable levels, Juliet prepares to raise her sword and lead a rebellion against the villainous tyrant whose hands are stained by the blood of her ancestors. She is the last breath of a dying line of kings and the final, fleeting hope of a city that desperately needs her.

This anime, to be or not to be…,

By saintBYgrace “Proverbs 3:5-6″ -

I just picked up this anime from a local store and all I can say is…WOW! Therefore read on, dear friends, for thou art about to uncover a gem in thee world of anime…so says I…

I am a fan of this story from the start so my interest in this was already high. So one would think this was a match made in heaven, right? I mean what is there to think about as I enjoy anime and one of my favorite stories has made its way to the States in English. However, I have also learned that just because something is done in the way of anime, a good story one does not make. With that here are my thoughts about this first part of the anime entitled… “Romeo X Juliet”.

In a nut shell, I am very happy to have seen this anime with my own eyes. I enjoyed the art, the story telling, the way it leads you on and I found myself catching my breath a time or two because I did not see said event happening the way it did (which is VERY rare for me being 38 years young and seeing allot of not only anime but movies in general).

I found myself wanting to jump into some of the fights that happened and other times feeling like I was hiding behind a bush watching and taking in all that was happening with a smile on my face saying to myself…”They are SO made for one another.”. But then again, I am a sucker for this story and while my view is tainted, I have to request that if you even remotely enjoy the story of “Romeo and Juliet”, to please check this out (I feel you will not walk away disappointed…at all).

Are there things that I would have liked to see done in a manner more to my liking? Maybe, but then again, I would not have been left breathless by some of the events that happened and that is well worth its weight in gold in its own self.

I am going to give this only four stars just because I have yet to watch the second part of this (which comes out in Aug if I remember right). But as for what I have seen so far, 5 stars all the way. For the normal anime watcher it may drop a star or two but anything less then 3 out of 5 stars and I feel you are not doing this anime justice.

Romeo X Juliet is a great treat and I for one am more than happy with my purchase and can not say enough good things about this great story done in the form of anime. Now IF only someone would do a anime version of “The Three Musketeers” and done as well as this was I would be in anime heaven.
