Romeo x Juliet - Julieto...is a GIRL!!!!

Love at first sight.
Love at second sight.
The thought of love.
Loving being in love.

Love love.

There is something about instance attraction that we find so appealing. Whether it be a glance, movement, or a conversation the things that draw us together are varied. The belief that in an instance all the play in the game of love can be set aside with a simple wanting, a wanting to be near someone, seems a little absurd to the wise (jaded) eye. Fore it takes a believer in fate, to fall for such notions, at least someone who understands the concept.

It’s just so easy to fall like that. It seems almost to be built into our being to trust something or someone that much. It often doesn’t turn out too well. One would think that negative behavioral reinforcement would come into play, in order to teach us a lesson about our actions.

It does.

Maybe that’s why ‘ol Willy decided to make them so young.

It seems that the story will pit Romeo and Juliet against each other in a more concrete aspect than was done in the play. There already seems to be a rather large divergence between ambient stories; therefore, we can probably expect to see something rather original. As if you couldn't tell already.


This is already one of my favorite scenes

The two's first prolonged encounter is in this episode. Juliet is used to express the excitement each feels. We see her reaction and know that it is mirrored by Romeo.

We also get to see Juliet as a girl, which I particularly like. I just have a irrational bias toward Juliet as a guy. I don't particularly mind any other characters that go around dressed like guys. It just irks me with this one. Anyhow, it appears we are going to get much more guy-Julieto in the coming episodes.

Romeo x Juliet is going to get a lot of attention simply because of the source material. I'm really interested to see where the story is taken.
