  • It's very hard to watch this opening without crying, after watching the series, but I can't help it. The song is gorgeous, and goes so well. /tear

  • Can someone spoil it for me and tell me if they stay alive? Or if they die like in the original version of Romeo and Juliet??

  • OMG I LUV IT I LUV IT I LUVT!!!! I've seen all the episodes of "RomeoXJuilet".

  • this show is worth every tear shed to watch, just listening makes me want to tear up

  • THE FIRST ORIGINAL ROMEO AND JULIET WAS IN 1900 NOT 1968. JUST SAYING. THERE IS OVER 50 ADAPTATION FILMS, TV SHOWS AND CARTOONS OF ROMEO AND JULIET STARTING FROM 1900 ALL THE WAY TO NOW

    THERE IS A WEBSITE THAT SHOWS ALL THE ROMEO AND JULIET ADAPTATIONS THROUGH THE CENTURY.

  • @xTrueImages WHY ALL CAPS-LOCK?

  • @RPGHacker86 just so people notice it and know :)

  • -.- i thought its going to be a beautiful love story with no bull but then they just had to add a fcking magic tree >.<

  • @no1inurheart it's anime!

  • They started off so innocent and happy T.T

  • I wonder how Shakespeare would react if he saw how he was portrayed in this show. XD

  • @Vocaloid134 I wonder how he would have reacted to see just how popular his plays have become since they were first performed on stage.

  • @Vocaloid134 XD LMAO i would be the first to take a snapshot then make a huge poster of it

  • Dios como amo esta seriee!!

  • Sigh~ I cry everytime i hear this. Its just so deep and touching. TT_TT

  • So is Romeo x Juliet a good anime

  • @liviebug99 Oh my gosh yes! It makes me cry every episode....I haven't finished the whole series though.... But I would suggest it highly! :3

  • @Beatlesgirl4778 Oh I know I'm on episode 8 and I just love it!

  • @liviebug99 It gets better after ep 8 (even better, I should say). I finished the whole show in 24 hours ^_^"

  • @liviebug99 yes you should watch it! i just finished it it was amazing

  • how can three people hate such a beautiful song like this it made me wanna cry ToT

  • I've just started watching this show, and I think it's awesome! This opening makes me love it more. ^^

  • My heart aches for these two sweet young lovers. It makes me want to write a story that would top theirs.

  • I freaked out when I first saw this, and recognized the opening right away.

  • every single eposode i cry

  • is it just me or does songs have WAY more meaning in different Laugages? :') this is Beautiful. I just got done watching the Actual Romeo and Juliet in english class, and this anime came to mind. I watched it awhile back and Loved it, i cried at the end:) such a Beautiful story.

  • great redo Inori love you

  • hey animate!!!..knw wat..eventhough im a boy..i was so touched after watching all the episodes from morning till night..it even took me too long to recover..ahahhaha..funny isn't it?..hope dat romeo and juliet both lived happily.....but in that case d story wud become different...hahaha....luv this anime..."grabe talaga ang love"!!!!

  • I always sing this in english :D

  • I would very much like to hear Josh Groban do it in Japanese. :D

  • Great cover.

  • This is like, the first time that I actually like the opening. (I mean the video, not the songs played during)

  • bellissimo,fa piangere, the anime is sad =(

  • @pokeAka333 YES. :D

  • love this opening <3 the anime was so sad T.T

  • i love this song.... this song makes me want to ........ so guys !! i'm kinda felt dramatic......esen!!

  • Good anime. Don't like what they did to Mercutio though, :(. Other than that, I liked it!

  • When I heard about this anime, I thought it would be boring, considering I thought the original Romeo and Juliet was going to boring. I decided to give it a try, considering I hadn't read the play yet.

    I watched the last episode and I was bawling my eyes out. This was a beautiful anime and I loved it.

    I only hope that the real play can make me feel the same as this anime. (Still hasn't read the play, but wants to really badly. T.T -_-)

  • This is such a beatiful anime! <3 I only watched a couple episodes and LOVED it already! This anime helps me see the story of Romeo and Juliet in a different way! <333 I just LOVE the anime, it makes me tear up! :')

  • When I had heard of this show, I thought it was going to be really lame. But I was pleasantly surprised to get an incredible re-imagining of the original play. It has all of the same themes as the original; Blood, Honor, Forbidden love, and most of all Tragedy. Which is what R&J is. It has a fantasy setting, unlike the play. But if you look beyond the liberties you'll find an emotionally soaring re telling of a tale of star-crossed love.

  • Thumbs up if you love this anime.

  • OH MY GOD! Goosebumps! this song always reminded me of the last part, the fight scenes and Romeo wanting to save Juliet but in the end Juliet sees Romeo dying on the ground and decides to follow her destiny, sacrificing herself to save everyone in Neo Verona. DAMN Neo Verona! Why didn't the 2 of you lived somewhere in California!

  • der anime ist echt toll :D hab am ende sogar geweint gehabt ^^´

  • ahhhhhhhhhhh i love this anime e especially because J Micheal Tatum has 3 big main parts he plays William's voice and he does the preview of the next episode and he's a director of some sort !!!!!! he's pretty important such a good carrier

  • i was so sad when both of them died :'( but this is still the best anime ever .....i will forever love it .....and i was so nuts i downloaded this song into my phone and had romo x juliet's photos as my wallpaper

    <3 <3  from all of us : to romeo and juliet ,rest in peace and forever be together :)

  • Brings back memories! I can't stop thinking of this anime! It truley was my favourite anime ever!

  • you dont understand. i just blindly started watching the anime, so when i first heard the opening i was like "hmm...sound fami-WTF!?!?!? You raise me up~" i started singing along then when the ending finished i paused it and then freaked out and showed my family XD

  • it feels like to me that romeo and juliet is the only time i saw that the main two people who are in love dies (except titanic) cuz usually its like ..happily ever after o_o anyway it makes it more dramatic i still love it >w<

  • amo esta cancion me la se de memoria

    urunda gitomi no ukuni

    kawaranu kimi no sugata

    doko made sekai wa tsuzukuno

    todaeta kimi no kotoba

    kokoeru arashi no yuru mo

    mada ni mu kimi tsuzuku

    moshiete umi wataru kaze

    inori wa toki no koeru

    inori wa toki no koeru

  • ç_ç

    Sto piangendo senza alcun ritegno.. Meraviglioso.

    T_T

  • 'You Raise Me Up' soounds soo much better in Japanese, its much prettier :)

  • no wonder this song sounds so familiar, its YOU RAISE ME UP in japanese version

  • If Shakespeare ever wrote it in our time, some undertaker, priest and pharmacist would ends up suing the guy on how men of their profession's being potrayed

  • 3 peopel don't have a heart.

  • I'm almost crying just watching the opening!!! <3 <3 <3 :( WoW i love this serie!!

  • Magnifico

  • I love song.♥ I love anime.♥

  • In the original Romeo and Juliet, they probably both have lived if they knew about how to check a pulse. -.-'

  • @Kali3P Well when you're in a coma, your pulse is really light, so they didn't catch it.

  • @Kali3P Or if Romeo told Juliet: "Hey, just letting you know. Imma drink this potion that makes me look and feel dead. Don't go killing yourself or anything. Just chill."

    Romeo obviously never took relationship advice 101. Communication, Bro.

  • @ZeroRaijin Other way around, actually. Juliet drank the potion to avoid a forced marriage to Paris. Romeo missed the message sent to inform him of this and was told she had died. He went to see her body, then poisoned himself. Juliet then wakes up to find her love dead and takes her life with a dagger.

  • @asluv1 ... I haven't read it in a while xD

  • @Kali3P Actually, Juliet's poison is suppose, I guess, to stop her heart (poison like that do exists), so wouldn't her pulse stop too?

  • @Juruyan The poison wasn't to stop her heart cuz if it did she wouldnt have woken up. Its the kind that just lowers the heart beat so low that your body goes into an kinda hibernating state and lowers your heart beat so low that its almost undetectable. So then when people would check for the pulse and couldnt find it they assume that they are dead.

    So yeah, they thought her pulse had stopped.

  • @Mitzi12333 Oh I see =P Thankies xD

  • @Kali3P Not necessarily. I'm not sure if you ever read the original, but Juliet took a potion (that apparently really does exist) that makes her appear dead. No breathing, no moving and a pulse so weak it's damn near undetectable. Not to mention that health practices/beliefs were WAY different then they are now.

    Personally, I think that if they had lived, Juliet would have left Romeo when she learned that he snored loud enough to wake the dead. :D

  • I've known the song You Raise Me Up since I was super little, when I first watched this show, it brought back SO many memories...and I couldn't figure out why, because I only knew the English version. Hah...thanks for helping me figure it out. :)

  • This intro made me cry the first time I saw it, reminded me of someone special that I'm no longer with but who will forever be in my heart

  • Beautiful !!!!

  • i never seen the book or play...

  • Nothing like shakespears but lovely anyway

  • @123456789kbx Well it isn't "nothing like Shakespeare's"; it has some correllations, like Romeo being banished/having to go away, Juliet dying after Romeo, the fact that there was a balcony scene, etc. Plus, it makes up for what it's missing by including TONS of innuendos alluding to Shakespeare's other works AND his life. Heck, even Bill HIMSELF is in there!

  • @Man1cmanMario i guess thats true...but i meant the whole plot. some but not all though

  • This is so amazing. I love it, especially at 0:35 and on.

  • It's the cutest anime couple!!

  • waaaa what a lovely song >_<

  • I love this song, It's so releaxing....

  • I cried when I first watched this opening.

  • i cant get enough of this song and anime :D the book and the anime are both really good.

  • @yamskii123 By book do you mean the original play or the manga version?

  • @MewWolf5 oh i mean the original play :)

  • Montague, Hermione, and Ophelia all disliked this.

  • This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it <33

  • @DestinyAwaits530 same. no idea y tho in my case

  • Llore al Final del Anime.!! :)

  • the 3 people who disliked this aren't human

  • chinese ? wheres the sub their mad horny

  • you raise me up in japanese <3

  • ......cheesy

  • i will never stop complimenting this op. song. the one who made this, if i will know, will be one of my idols forever !!!! besides the story, this also makes me teary-eyed.. xD

  • Since you peeps love thus anime so much (I do myself LOVE this anime a lot) you should watch bokura go ita its awesome and had romance and a lit of drama

  • I freaking cried at the end of this anime, it was just...so amazing beyond words. It's one of those animes I can't just watch a second time, but yet it was an all time fav, cause it's just to good to repeat it's just one of those things were you can't reply such an emotional anime. I love how they turned Josh Groban's song "Raise me up." into a japanese opening to this anime, it is very fitting!

  • i love love love this anime and this song, i've listened to it so many times that i know the lyrics in japanese!! ^_^

  • I absolutely love this opening, barely watched the first 3 eps and Im hooked, I can kinda tell a sad ending awaits me since it IS based of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet, but Im sure I'll still love it nonetheless <3

  • Believe it or not, I liked this one. Though it could have been waaay less like FMA, or Final Fantasy at times.

  • 3 thumbs down?! HOW THE HELL?!!!

  • This is possibly one of the most beautiful openings of any anime.

  • I just started watching this anime and I've got to say, this has to be one the best openings i've ever seen for an anime. It just sends a tingle down my spine!

  • aww T_T

  • were reading (and watching) the original romeo and juliet in my LANG ARTS class. it is so boring and uninteresting. ive watched one episode of this anime and it is like 1000X or more better then the original

  • oh no !!! this anime really did make me cry !! T_T

  • <3 This anime is more interesting that the origional Romeo and Juliet. I'm reading the origional in English Honors, and compared side by side, I like this WAY better!

  • is-.. is this Japanese you raise me up?? :P

  • @Fullmetalsgal Yup.

  • @Fullmetalsgal Yes, and the WHOLE anime is better in Japanese, so I suggest subbed if you have the choice.

  • When I look at this it anime opeing it make me laugh for some kind of reason. I think it has somthing to do with the was Romeo and Juliet.

  • This just reminds me of my ex boyfriend *sigh*

  • @thaaeroprincess87 it all reminds us of our loved ones...those we love now and those we loved back then, but we keep moving on forward to find our real true lov

  • This has to be the best anime opening ever. It still gives me chills all over my body after watching/hearing it sooo many times.

    (minor) SPOILER BELOW

    For the ones wondering wether this is close to the original RomeoxJuliet and/or wether this is worth watching: It is certainly worth watching. It's basically the same story character wise, but they gave it a fantasy twist. The plotline is pretty much the same though. The ending, in essence, is also the same, though it's more heroic..

  • This has to be the best anime opening ever. It still gives me chills all over my body after watching/hearing it sooo many times.

  • Most beautiful and touching anime I've ever seen. I just couldn't stop crying in the end. And the song makes me so sad too...

  • should i watch it? i mean, is the romance really THAT good? cuz i like romance so...

  • @raffitoynoseque u should cuz i is the best romance u will ever see (or so i think)

  • it is. out of all the animes ive watched (300) it the best romance one. XD

  • @raffitoynoseque

    Seriously I was wondering if I should watch this anime, because everybody knows anyway how does Romeo X Juliet ends... But I cried so much! And usually I never cry! You chould watch it. It's awesome in every ways.

  • Ophelia looks younger in this vid.Or isn't she Ophelia? (I never watched this anime cause i crie easily so i don't really know the characters)

  • seen the whole thing, it took me 1 week to finish this anime. good times

  • i love how i have this playing on my computer screen, and have the song playing from my ihome. -_-

  • ~Cries~

    this is one of the best animes ever but i wish the ending could of not ended the way it did.

  • @arcanineeevee I know what you mean. I wanted it to end differently too.

  • @arcanineeevee plz dont tell me they die at the end just like in the book :( i bet if that be the case whoever hasnt seen the anime yet will commit suicide once they watch the anime

  • @arcanineeevee let me guess. it ended the same way the shakespear play did.

  • @arcanineeevee Though this is getting into semantics, one could argue that this show had a very happy ending.

  • otro de los mas perfectos y ermosas historias T_T

    este anime me ase tanto llorar me parte el alma verlooo! T_T

  • the winner of the dutch popstars 2009 sang this song in english :P love this song

  • (spoiler) I don't see why soooo many people hate the ending of this anime. I LOVE it. Such tradgedy makes me FEEL for the characters. Makes me SAD, thus leaving me with an EPIC, NOT-AS-CLICHE ending. The only thing POSSIBLY "cliche" about it is that it generally follows the story of the play.

  • @Man1cmanMario The whole point to Romeo and Juliet is that their love and death ends the feud so I don't get how people can hate their deaths xD

  • Comment removed

  • I know, right!?

  • @Man1cmanMario

    So I'm guessing the anime ends like the play? /juststartedwatchinglastnight

  • (spoiler) In the basic sense of what happens to the two, yes. However, that is where the similarities END.

  • I bought a box set of this anime on account of its EPICNESS <3

  • This song makes me cry tears of joy. The little shot of Romeo and Juliet on the ground at the end makes my heart melt.

    Can anyone say: one of the most awesome and fitting openings ever?

  • I love the tune where the statue Angel and Sword are flying up

  • shakespeare should have made this instead :))

  • @astigmatismexpert103 AGREED <3

  • I had always loved this song and had heard that Romeo X Juliet was a really good anime. When I found out that they were both smushed into one I just couldn't help but squeel with joy! Romeo X Juliet is the best!

  • love the song love the anime i know its based on the Shakespeare play but i say all love/romance anime, manga and films would all be better if the couple live happily ever after i know it sounds bad but i hate the fact that the animation company that made this anime made romeo and Juliet die no couple in these sort of anime or people that have love this strong should simply NOT DIE i cried at that and i say the anime would be better if they both lived.

  • i want to cry everytime i hear this song! its amazing and so is the anime!

    its hass all my fave type of genres:romance, drama, and action!!! too bad im about to end it! AWWWWW!!!!! =(

  • Omg. This is the stuff that makes anime awesome. Btw i heard english dub of this is way better :D!

  • Comment removed

  • I heard this version first, and today my Chinese Teacher showed my class a video of a Chinese guy singing this song. That is when I learned it was originally Irish. I have yet to hear the original version...That feels a little wrong to me. XD

  • @Xam465 The English Dub is equal to this, in my humble opinion, but NO ONE can beat Josh Groban besides the original singer!...Unless he IS the original singer XD

  • @Man1cmanMario ????

  • @Xam465 Josh Groban...one of the most famous people to sing this song...

  • best of best.........

  • If this anime doesn't move you, then I don't know what will...

  • @HyperShadow89 the answer is the anime called Rainbow

  • @kanekgt never heard of that one but if the anime Air dosnt make you cry then nothing will.

  • damn this song always get me teary

  • I Swear !

    Romeo × Juliet Best Love Story in The WORLD !

    I LOVE ROMEO × JULIET FOR EVER !

    They are The Best <3

  • the last episode romeo x juliet make me cry... until now im crying...

  • still gives me the chills *_* <3

  • This anime was really really good... except for (SPOILER) right near the end they were like "o btw Juliet has to die anyway because of a mysterious tree that plans on destroying the world... yeahhhh".... I just thought it was too random and sudden... and a bit unbelievable. I mean, sure, this anime is obviously fiction to begin with, but still... I think they may have stretched the boundaries a wee bit too far... =(

  • THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY I LOVE THIS SHOW!!

  • T_T
