An anime series based off the manga Romeo x Juliet which in turn was an original story based off the play of the same name by William Shakespeare. This story features the famous star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet. The events are set in the fantasy world of Neo Verona. The story departs vastly from the traditional plot of the play.
Overview
Romeo × Juliet (ロミオ×ジュリエット, Romio to Jurietto) is a TV anime William Shakespeare's classical play, Romeo and Juliet, along with numerous references and characters from other Shakespearean plays. Though the anime borrows mostly from Shakespeare's story, the manga adaptation differs extensively from the original. Romeo × Juliet was broadcast in Japan on Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting from April 4, 2007 to September 26, 2007. In 2009, Romeo × Juliet was dubbed into English and released by Funimation Entertainment.
An anime based on Shakespeare's famed play, Romeo x Juliet is about the lovers Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague. As with the play, they meet and fall in love. However, besides that point the plot diverges heavily from the original play.
This time, Juliet takes a bit more of the starring role as a vigilante and rebel, working to bring down the tyrannical rule of Lord Montague. Meanwhile, Romeo is Montague's kind son, who isn't blind to his father's deeds but finds himself unable to do much to stop him. The two meet and fall in love, but find that they must work to keep their bond alive, and risk their lives for it.
Tragedy, comedy, romance, sudden twists and turns in the plot and several other elements are woven together to create this original take on the old tale.
