  • W: As You Like It

    A: So it's a play about pants?

    Me: LOL! XD

  • looks like its that time of year again when we must be bothered by the ad know as "Wendy's" ware the sell fish burger's for some low price or something I dont know I try to ignore and quickly try to stop the advertisement as soon as possible.

  • Juliet= Blackstar?

  • i cant understand half of what they say lol

  • R - "May I have your name?"

    J - "Why?"

    R - "Simple because it is yours." That was adorable :3

  • this reminds me of the movie shakespeare in love :)

  • this anime has made reading romeo and juliet in english class actually enjoyable. ^w^

  • @claireawesome1 actually that is not old English, for old english is like an other language. Just search old English and listen....it's so cool!

  • @LynnaWaUtau u seem very knowledgeable of the old english language

  • "It was like a midsummers nights dream" <<<< Shakespeare play!

  • Cue magic wind

  • lol, the dub is "so sophisticated."

  • The doctor and the one with the scarred eyebrows look like they're from Code Geass. xP

  • I thought in the olden days they said ''thy'' and not ''you''.

  • @Onazoonka "Thy" means "Your". And also, contrary to what most people think "Thou" was a very informal version of "You". If you used it with someone you didn't know very well, it could be very insulting. "You" was more formal and was also more often used to address more than one person.

  • I.. can not explain my emotions right now. The dialoge featuring the common uses of today with the unique verses used in the first story of the first star crossed lovers. Truly a masterpiece rivaling the original work of the great William Shakespear.

  • Brina Palencia is a amazing voice actor. From Juliet to Holo from Spice and Wolf and Ennis from Baccano, shes just a great voice actor. Oh, anyone wanna see Nolan North (Nathan Drake, Dr. Rictofen) Do some anime work?

  • I think it would be more awesome if Romeo was leading the resistance.... but whatever, great show nonetheless

  • @maddyreid18 i get a sense it happens eventually

  • THEY ADE SOMETHING I HATE INTO SOMETHING ALITTLE BETTER

    

  • antonio is sooo cute, maxey whitehead playing him is perfect! but i cant help but picture alphones at times XD

  • Wow, that wasn't a very sensitive thing to do. Couldn't they have been kinder? Like at least say "We regret to tell you these ill tidings" or SOMETHING to make her feel better?

  • hard hardened XD

  • I love Romeo and Juliet so much and watching this anime makes me like it all the more. The story is touching and the characters are created beautifully and this is simply one of the best anime/plays ever established.

  • Cornelia reminds me of my younger sister...

  • I think that was a horrible way to break the news to her....

  • i just love this anime. the opening is a piece of artwork itself.plus im a sucker for this story

  • i just realized its a romeo & juliet theme but it has some parts of Anastasia in it (x

  • I don't like this anime but something tells me I should keep watching for some reason

  • Who the hell has the audacity to dislike this?

  • This looks like it'll be a pretty good show :D

  • God, this must be one of the BEST anime intros ive ever seen.

  • 2:46 to skip

  • I know this does`nt relate to this anime but does antonio ( i think thats him) the little boy sound like crona from soul eater? just putting it out there XD

  • Whoa. Did anybody else get chills at that pledge and lightning strike at the end?

  • @LordLethonai Oh yah. Its but a true few shows that can actually make you shiver.

  • lol, "gray ass"

  • lol the begging all they do is stare....

    and then she totally goes weird when he talks to her...

  • well that's a great birthday present...

  • THis is freaking amazing!!!!

  • I thought Juliet was going to be a bit of a tsundere because of the first episode and how she acted.

  • I love the way they talk X3!!!!!

  • Wait, hold up. Why did they wait until she was 16 to tell her? Why even keep it a secret at all? Wouldn't it be better to tell her what happened instead of keeping it a secret? That way she won't go into a state of shock and suddenly have a huge amount of pressure to reclaim the throne on her. If she knew about her heritage, wouldn't that give her more motivation to lead the rebellion and take down the Montagues? Is there any point in that? Can someone explain that to me?

  • @omegagiga43 Because that is when ladies become of age.... when they are demanded to wed or take throne

  • @animedawn12 Well, I guess that makes sense. But still, Juliet probably would've had an easier time if she was told about her heritage

  • @omegagiga43 Yeah but the anime wouldn't be as good:D

  • @omegagiga43 Probably because they figured she'd do a better job at hiding a secret she didn't know about.

  • @omegagiga43 because in the original play juliet was suppose to marry at the age of 14. im guessing the anime is just trying to follow that as best as they could

  • @omegagiga43 they probly waited until she was 16 so that she would be more mature then. they would've assimilated her into their way of life and she'd better understand the necessity of the secret. and besides, keep in mind that she's ONLY sixteen. what would you expect a child to do against such a strong opposition? And it's BECAUSE of that state of shock that they would expect that she wouldn't know what to do and would turn to them for help, thereby, keeping the state of dependency.

  • not only that but i also think it's because they wanted to keep her innocence. knowing that your entire family was killed when you were small has caused many an anime character to become emo, a serial killer, or just out for blood wherever they can find it. And then Juliet would have never met Romeo but at the tip of a sword.

  • They speak in a slight Shakespearean way...adds to the anime

  • Wonderful just wonderful.

  • Okay, wtf. In the 1st episode, the language was quite modern. In this one it's all ancient and shit, sort of like the actual play... -_-

  • By the way everyone please go listen yo some JOSH GROBAN!!! hehe. Seriously, he's amazing.

    I'm kinda wondering how they managed THAT copyright permission!

  • @CodenameContrary I think it sounds better in Japanese xD

  • I've just found a new anime to add to my favorites list--two episodes in and already: female superhero-zorro-esque character, psuedo-renaissance setting, PRETTY ART, flying dragon-thingies, LITERARY REFERENCES EVERYWHERE, sci-fi fantasyness, roses in every screenshot HECK YES. ...It's like what I always wanted to sailormoon anime to be! :D (and-what-the-manga-is...butye­ah) My inner feminist is rejoicing at this new Juliet.
  • 4 people obviously do not see great artwork and poetic writing when they see it!

  • Pft, what a crappy way to find out you are apart of a leading family :/

  • 4 dislikers are the ones who wish to die by a death note

  • Going into a cemetery during a storm on the night of my Sweet Sixteen? Oh boy! You shouldn't have! :D

    x3

  • i hate to be a troll...but hermionie can go eat a dick!

  • GAAHHHHH!!!!! TALK NORMALLY!!!!!! DX

  • Antonio seems to be the manliest Peanut there never was...

  • Its" You Raise Me Up"

  • open mouth insert foot

  • lol I WILL HAVE MY BOND! XD acting out shylock in highschool was hilarious

  • WHY DOES THE OPENING SONG SOUND FAMILIAR????? I hate when I cant think up of the answer...ive pulled all the hair off my head...AAHHHHH!!!

  • @headshot910 i think the song is you raise me up by josh groban.

  • Comment removed

  • @headshot910

    The song is called "you raise me up" check out the version by Celtic Women, it's amazing.

  • The opening never gets old! :D

  • I HOPE THIS DOESN'T END THE WAY THE PLAY DOES;(

  • 4kids could iv possible dub this Dx

  • to be completely honest, i hate the name Romeo xP sounds too cheesy. Sowwy to those who like it

  • @labonco i think if it werent for this story it wouldnt sound cheesey its just so over used as a romance thing

  • I hate advertisments. Whenever i see them, i play them before i start watching. If there are a lot, i play them all.

  • this is epic tatum voice is just so beautiful at the end. GOD he is so HOT

    

  • I love this dub!!! For once, learning King James English has become useful to me!

  • i wachted all the season of romeo and juliet ten times!!!!!!!!!!

    you will think its funny at the beginnig, but while the story continue, you will see the darkness of the world of shakespeare,

    a forbiden love, a love whit suffering, and a really sad and happy end...

    curious? continue, to watch the episodes

    of this forbidden love

    romeo x juliet

  • so her birthday was all like HAPPY BIRTHDAY! YOUR WHOLE FAMILY'S DEAD!!!! pretty F'ed-up....

  • @twistedsister331 You know, my first move would be to tell everybody, "hey stop making obvious signs that I'm the heir to the thrown." Then we make a battle strategy to kill the head of Montagu. 

  • @twistedsister331 AND YOU SURVIVED SO U A PRINCESS! cheesy ass shit ._.

  • This anime is beautiful XD The beginning is funny :3

  • 9:16

    Are these people stupid?

    you should be able to tell that's a lady

  • wow. all the shakespeare references.

  • 08:44 those sick bastards QQ

  • i wish this anime had been out when i was a freshman when we were reading romeo and juliet XD

  • 5:46 wow juliet why did she started acting like a total bitch? -_-

  • @Ayumuobsessed Oh well this anime rules and so does Romeo and Juliet who can both kick major ass!

  • @Ayumuobsessed because shes been told that all her life o.o

  • Anime guys r Hot

  • @09Tania09 MOST at least XD

  • Do they "please" you? hehehe....

  • so its a play about pants? haha wow -_-'

  • It's all in the poofy pumpkin pants and glittery cod pieces, that's what makes you a true man.

  • Isn't funny how in the book it was Juliets parents who seemed slightly meaner and more controlling (even though both families weren't fully good) and in the anime it is the Montagues that are bad?

  • a midsummer's night dream... they're advertising shakespears other work =w=

  • This is way better than reading the play I can understand it. But I love the play too.

  • dam i spelled his name wrong! lol

  • rome rome were art tho remo! =]

  • so its a play about pants? xD

  • 8:50 i finally know what he means by that! poor girls...

  • XD I never wear dresses and I always wear pants and i am a tomboy, and Im a girl

  • Oh no! Is that way not many guys notice me! Is cause I wear pants all the time. and they think I'm a guy! I thought my chest would help they figure out I'm a girl! .......boys are sooo dumb!

  • So it's about pants?

    lol

  • Juliet: this is a cemetery...

    me: how cheerful

  • It's a bit jarring how they're attempting to speak in Shakespeare's style and the typical lingo of the time, and then they slip in little blotches of modern language.

  • she takes off her pants for the one she loves. AHAHAHAHHAHAH

  • The bad part about this show is we all know what happens at the end lol

  • YOUR A GIRL THIS WHOLE TIME??!! BUT....BUT YOU WEAR PANTS EVERYDAY!!!!

    O_O

  • any one else catch the line juliet says: "...it was like something from a middsummers nights dream...," @ 5:08 ??? i acually acted in the three mock scghool versions of both this romeo and juliet and a midsummerts nights dream the the tameing of the shrew I <3 this anime!!!!!

  • oooh yeahhh, just what I want to do for my birthday. Take a trip to the cemetary it would make me think "what you trying to say? I am getting tooo old?" XD

  • If she was really disguising herself as a boy..... wouldn't she CUT her hair short? 

  • I don't mean to be a troll, but Romeo's father is a dick.

  • @FullMoon272 His father, Is indeed a dick.

  • @EmmaAnime96 ikr.

  • "you were a girl the whole time -but, you wore pants all the time!!" if its like that, I guess I'm a guy too XD

  • @lawerdoggygirl

    youd figure she was a girl by her chest size

  • Comment removed

  • lol i love the conversation between william, juliet and the kid as there disscussing as you like it a.k.a twelfith night and when the kid says its a play about pants and william and him fight and have a hamlet refrence is comedy gold

  • i love how there refrenceing shakespere and his work anyone notice the mid-summer night refrence! lol

  • (part 3) Still this anime is pretty good because it's about true love and I'm a sucker for romance. :) but man those followers are hella retarded >:( if I met to those schmucks I would say to them: "there's a difference between politics and raising a human being assholes, look it up"...and punch them in the face.

  • (part 2) Seriously, If I were to ever meet the man who do this any other guy, I would punch them IN THE F&!#ING FACE!!! God help me If I see the day that someone would place the burden of politics on some unsuspecting person like they were just hoping they'd jump in the wagon after this. this must be how Doug Walker feels like everyday :P Y'know it's a good thing this is just fiction because no way in HELL would I forgive anyone who would do this.

  • So to summarize; the loyal followers of the former ruler planned out for years to "Reclaim" the throne from a tyrannical mentalcase with the only survivng member by waiting until she was 16? and not only that but make her the leader of the rebellion after they had kept this a secret from her throughout her ENTIRE life? Did they get J.K. Rowling to write this?

  • GEEZ! I NEVER KNEW SHAKESPHERE WAS THIS GAY!

  • So.... In this they have Romeo in Juliet's shoes and Juliet in Romeo's hummm Original

  • Romeo looks like Marth... XDDDD

  • This is a parody to the real thing :/

  • Wasn't Juliet rich and Romeo was poor

  • @bluebirdautumn No, it was "two houses both alike in dignity" the families were at equal standing with one another in the actual play, that's why it means so much more when Romeo forsakes his family name for Juliet

  • @bluebirdautumn in the original, they were both from wealthy families

  • 13:24 to 13:30 OOh ooh ooh Macbeth reference! Called it! Called it! EEEEEEEKKKK!!!......awesome show so far

  • i love how they still use william shakespeares language in this anime:D it makes it seem more romantic(:

  • @LoXHi it doesn't have the "thou" and "thy" so no

  • man I'm sick of commercials X(

  • She's probably thinking "damn this could get complicated"

  • "it was like something from a Mid Summer Nights Dream" nice shakespear reference they threw in there

  • when shes supposed to be a guy, her voice reminds me of ciel on black butler. when shes acctually a girl she reminds me of haruhi on ohshc

  • sorry but where the heck is the "skip ad" button?

  • It's sucks that they're both probably going to die...

  • @jasmine0813 thanks :) lol that was a really stupid question xD

  • @cassieee727 lol thanks again :)

  • gonna kill these ads!!! grr

  • how does her hair stay up like that?

  • "More matter less art!" AUughh!!! BRILLIANCE. Lovin' the Hamlet quote~

  • I love the irony of "William!"

    Thank goodness I'm good at understanding Shakespeare or else I don't think I'd understand this show at all.

  • 8:51 ...maidenheads

    Thumbs up if you know what that means xD

  • they talk soooo olden like!!! >:O i can barely understand them ... lol juliets ears turned red ^^

  • You people complaining about ads are a bunch of bitches. This sites ads are less frequent than hulu, ads are the only reason we can watch this free and legally, and every ad gives a small ammount of $ to the people who make the show, so it supports the anime industry.

  • I want to see an anime for Julius Caesar next. xD And maybe Hamlet.

  • i'd be alright with the ads if they were like 5 seconds.

  • Fucking Ads i swear.

  • I'm already a romantic/passionate guy..but watching this makes it grow..feeling poetic & reminded of the woman who has my heart & this story matches our situation

    I LOVE THIS ANIME!!!

  • They misuse "star-crossed" in this. It means fated to doom by the stars, not 2 peoples paths crossing

  • I think Romeo is secretly the vocaloid Kaito. XD

  • @PoncifyingSince1995 Lol yep! This is where he goes when out of ice cream!

  • @PoncifyingSince1995 I KNOW RIGHT! i hope miku doesnt find out heeehee

  • @PoncifyingSince1995

    hahaha lol i was thinking the same thing XD

  • how does her hair....nvm its anime...

  • Hermione's hair = noodles.

  • XD I LOVE RED WHIRLWIND!!

  • Romeo and Juliet have switched roles!omg awesome!^.^

  • Its almost like the story of Anistasia

  • red whirlwind is awesome xD i love the charater x3

  • I love William's character, almost set to Shakespeare exactly! As you like it was my favorite play and he's even got the quote right.

  • Think I liked the Sub better, sounds weird in english. Love the anime so far and it's pretty fast pace too! :D

  • haha cue the slow motion head kick. nice.

  • I like the song at the end more then the song in the beginning

  • I'm with you on that. I really don't like that song.

  • Romeo acts like a nervous 12 year old..... *sigh*. It's annoying me a bit.

  • why!
