Romeo x Juliet
Production Comapany: Gonzo Genre: Romance Expected Release Date: 2007 Website: http://www.romejuli.jp/top.html Some of us knew about this title in the making for sometime after reading Eggplant's post in the New Announced Anime thread. Moonphase reaffirms by linking an official website to the title. The animation director for this series is going to be Oizaki Fumitoshi while Junichi Satou will be the sound director who will direct the voice acting. Hitoshi Sakimoto will be the music composer for the series. It's hard to imagine if there is anyone who haven't heard of Romeo and Juliet, nontheless, I'm posting a synopsis from the Wiki for the sake of adding the purple colored text that is reserved for the synopsis. The synopsis in the following is from the summary of Act I as posted in the Wiki article. Count Paris, a young nobleman, talks to Capulet about marrying his fourteen-year-old daughter, Juliet. Capulet demurs, citing the girl's tender age, and invites him to attract the attention of Juliet during a ball that the family is to hold that night. Meanwhile Juliet's mother tries to persuade her young daughter to accept Paris' wooing during their coming ball. Juliet is not inspired by the idea of marrying Paris — in fact, she admits to not really having considered marriage at all. But, being a dutiful daughter, she accedes to her mother's wishes. This scene also introduces Juliet's nurse, the comic relief of the play, who recounts a bawdy anecdote about Juliet at great length and with much repetition.At this point in time there is no news I'm aware of that states how Gonzo intends to adapt this play in their script, i.e., how they intend to approach the story, or where they will focus. There is no specific release date other than that the series will air sometime next year. Will update when more news becomes available. Feel free to add more info on the series, hopes, expectation, shock, (I know I was) etc.. Last edited by monir; 2006-11-10 at 14:57.

Gonzo is doing Romeo x Juliet? Neo-Verona? Hmm... Suddenly I'm remembering their Count of Monte Cristo aka Gakutsuou.
It seems that remaking classics set in the future is becoming a new trend for Gonzo.

I somehow liked the character design on the front page of the site, the bishoujo's character design looks pretty cute >.<
But after looking at the character section: http://www.romejuli.jp/character.html I was pretty dissapointed.

As mentioned in my subsequent post to the first one, Satou Junichi is the sound director, meaning he will in charge of the voice acting, and the animation directing duties is in the hands of Oizaki Fumitoshi.

I'm quite excited to see Hitoshi Sakamoto (崎元仁) is composing the music. His Final Fantasy Tactics soundtrack is one of the best game soundtracks ever \o/. Looks this is the first anime soundtrack he's done though.

As for the staff position terminology, generally it is the following: Director (Kantoku 監督) is in charge of the overall production process, mainly adhering to the animation production. Another name for kantoku is enshutsu (演出). Animation director (Sakuga Kantoku 作画監督) is in charge of the key animation (genga 原画), and the in-between animation (douga 動画) for the episode he/she is in charge of. Some anime titles employ a general animation director (Sou Sakuga Kantoku 総作画監督) to oversee all episodes for consistency checks. Sound director (Onkyou Kanotku 音響監督) is in charge of the seiyuu casting, voice overdubbing recording sessions, and music and sound effect selection. In Romeo x Juliet's website, Satou Junichi is credited as a sound supervisor (onkyou kanshuu 音響監修), which is a more honorary title than a director, given his credibility. He probably has more leeway at the studio as well.
