(L) Romeo x Juliet

[Sarajuana]

I'm just catching up with everyone, but as far as the first two episodes go, it's beautiful and any time a woman's an awesome sword fighter you know it's going to be a good show.

Pretty much right on with ending I expected most of it I cant hate Gonzo for this one. I wonder what's next on there plate? I mean they have done RomeoxJuliet and the count of Monte Cristo. Could we see Oedipus rex which could be really dark or Taming of the shrew which would make for a pretty funny comedy

Pretty much how i expected to end.


And if you are wondering Gonzo is doing next they are going to do Dragonaut The Resonance which starts in October.

When adapting anime from English novels, maybe more difficult.
Japanese, they don't know much about English literature. Romeo Juliet is very wellknown, but you I listened to most of Romijuli radio, that most of the staffs and seiyuu just knew that it was a tragedy of famous star cross lover,but didn't know about the story at all!

If just for title that recognisable by Japanese, maybe Hamlet? Phantom of Opera? Swan lake ^^''?

This show had its ups and downs, but the final episode was a definite up for me. This is not specifically an ending I expected, though it fits the type I expected -- and hoped for, actually.

Spoiler for final episode:

If it had been a totally happy ending, I would have felt it went too much contrary to the original. But I didn't want it to be exactly like the original: committing suicide in a mistaken belief that your lover was dead never pleased me much. I expected them to die together and become two trees, supporting the flying city. The idea of it becoming a floating city never occurred to me at all.

I think the work of Mizusawa Fumie (Juliet) was great throughout. And did you know that Cordelia and Francisco (Matsuki Miyu and Nojima Hirofumi) actually got married in real life recently?

Those would be good adaptation I would say Hamlet would do better than Phatom of the Opera (which i love) and Swan Lake which is also very good.

Hamlet already has the makings to make a pretty good anime adaptation. Murder, mother/son compex, revenge, love, ect ect. We all know the story. I feel they would have to add a little more action then in the original to hold an audience but thats not hard to do.

I can come up with several things for Hamlet that i would love to see starting with outfits and settings.

It's rather hilarious that the scenarist see it natural that

Spoiler:

those lived in Neo Verona didn't know it had been floating.

Any people, any child included, once at least wonder what would be there on the horizon. After all, Neo Verona being a floating city is just wasted setting and I suppose there was a big communication problem between those writing actual episodes and others.

The overall atmosphere is good, but the soap opera of Romeo and Juliet is pretty much meh and GONZO's fantasic adaptation of a big tree (which I think is too cliched) hasn't worked that much. To begin with, I have no idea why GONZO have to make it sound as if this anime were based on Shakespeare's renowned work. They just borrowed some names from, and had a tragic ending like the original. Probably for a promotional or snobbish reason. I don't know.

I'd buy a soundtrack if released but not a DVD by a long shot. Sorry for my negativity but I was initially quite excited and looked forward to this series.

WOW, congratulations for the seiyuu of Cordelia and Francisco.
Cordelia seiyuu is very lovely in the romiuli radio. I like her very much.

about the last episode i don't want to read the summary of Omni
i will wait the subs

[malaac]

Man I should of known not to watch this. I hated the original story about a love tragedy.. I figured hey it's an anime and not so much like the original CRAPPY story so maybe it will have a good ending! UGG! This was as CRAPPY as the original!

Spoiler for ending:

Two people that become trees living for an eternity in pain! Crap! I wish I never started watching this and now I know not to watch what is a CRAPPY story in the first place remade by Gonzo because they still keep it with a crappy ending! Enough bad in real life without watching it in an anime too.

WHY do people like CRAPPY ENDINGS! I won't watch any of the CRAP Stephen King writes and I definitely hate to this day the story of Romeo and Juliet.. Total CRAP! Not entertainment at all.

[Sarajuana]

Gah! The anticipation is killing me! Plus, I want the episodes to come out faster so I can show them to my anime club. Umai is doing a really good job on making a fluid translation. Now if I can resist the spoilers 'til they come out...

For those of you that are not really familiar with either of these respective companies, please click this and this link.
GDH K.K. owns and controls various exclusive copyrights and trademarks related to the animated motion pictures known as Romeo x Juliet ®. Among the exclusive rights of GDH K.K. are the rights for production and distribution of home videos, DVDs, and other home video formats and devices.
FUNimation Entertainment therefore demands that we expeditiously disable all access to said infringing materials.

In the letter that we have received, it is explicitly said that GDH K.K. has authorized FUNimation Entertainment to enforce their rights, therefore do not read this as an implicit announcement of FUNimation Entertainment's licensing of the said property. This is merely one company acting as a legal representative of another.
Of course, we have already complied to the requests in the letter and this project is hereby dropped. I hope everyone enjoyed it so far. I would like to thank the RxJ team who worked very hard on this and I would also like to thank everyone who followed us thus far.

To my knowledge this is the first occurence of Japanese company actually sending a C&D during an ongoing anime - MFI issued a C&D for DVD episodes that were fansubbed before the actual release in Japan - so we might see more of this in the future. Let's hope that means more high quality anime from Japan and more high quality translations from your local licensees.

Take it as you will.

Let's just hope the same didn't happen to Umai. 3 eps to go z_z

Not at all...where did you hear this?

On Mizusawa Fumie's blog, and from things said on Miyumiyu's own blog. People on 2channel talk about it a bit, too.

But now you've got me wondering if it was just Fumie-san's joke, since they were having a party at Nojima's house and Miyumiyu was there in an apron to greet guests. I found it an especially interesting story since Miyumiyu is one of the most famous "yuri" seiyuu, and marriage would tend at least to put those ideas in some context.

By the way, the big deal on Miyumiyu's blog recently is that she turned 30 on September 14. She has many pictures of great food and says she promised herself that when she turned 30 she would eat all she wanted. The fact that she wouldn't mention being married is not a surprise, since it's the kind of thing seiyuu keep quiet about if possible. On the other hand, one thing speaking against the possibility is the fact that Fumie said anything about it.

Nojima Hirofumi is 34 and also plays Tsuwabuki on Nanatsuiro Drops and Shuga on Seirei no Moribito. He is the son of one voice actor (Nojima Akio) and the brother of another (Nojima Kenji).

Where is Seiyuu Watch when you need it? (The site has been dormant for a month.)

Spoiler for Ep.24, the last ep:

The ending was good I guess, the saved Neo-Verona. But it feels like Juliet's death seems kinda unimportant, cuz all she did was slowing down Neo-Verona's descent a little bit. But other than that, it's good. Tybalt is freaking cool in this ep, when he was fighting Ophelia.

You should have put spoiler tag. Many people here don't know and maybe don't want to be spoiled.
