Romeo × Juliet Review and Daily New Anime Releases

Well I finally forced myself to sit down and watch all the episodes to date for Romeo × Juliet and this is not your high school play or is it even remotely close to the original work by Mr. Shakespeare. This is a new slant on the old tale with flying Pegasus, maniacal evil grand dukes and some kind of weird overgrown tree with wings.

The story starts out as the duke of Montague family decides he wants to rule alone and slaughters the Capulet family. However one manages to escape the daughter of the duke, Juliet. Flash forward 14 years and Juliet has become a super hero of sorts dashing around as a kind of robin hood type figure helping to right wrongs of the duke as he tramples his people beneath his feet. One day after helping a girl accused of being a surviving daughter of the Capulets she is is cornered. A young man named Romeo sees the distress and swoops in to rescue her and her maid. However they believe the red whirlwind is a man and everyone calls him Odin. While offering little gratitude for the rescue she runs away.

Odin (Juliet) who lives with William Shakespeare in hiding. Is set for her 16th birthday when she will learn the truth of her family and her birth right and destiny. However unprepared she is for it wont change the fact that it is her destiny even after a chance encounter at the royal ball she mistakenly attends dressed as Juliet instead of a man. She meets Romeo and it is love at first sight for both.

After that first encounter many more follow but once Juliet learns of the truth of her family and Romeo is the son of the duke who slaughtered them can she overcome that and find happiness in love? Watch and find out.

OK so after watching it I have to say it was worth it. I really got into the story although not close to the original it is very engaging and interesting. You get pulled right in. If the title scared you away like it did me don't worry you wont be disappointed.

Seirei no Moribito revisit and Todays New Daily Anime

Seirei no Moribito is turning out to be a great series. While the only group subbing Anime-Kraze has some technical issues with their subs. (They can only play with VLC or else you can't hear the dialog audio.) Their video and sub quality is rather good. So just download VLC and enjoy.

The series follows a warrior woman Balsa who is picked up by the palace guards to meet with the wife of the emperor and asked to take the prince away to safety. As it is believed that he has become possessed and that it would look bad if the pure emperor son has been tainted. and the mother fears that her son is now being targeted for assassination. (which he has been as balsa saved his life at the beginning of the show after his caravan was mysteriously stopped on a bridge and him thrown over board.) Balsa who is on a mission to pay back past debts agrees to take on the mission and steals away with the prince to protect him.

The series picks up pretty quickly as they are now being hunted by the palace private guards. Who manage to injure our heroine but she manages to come back and save the prince. But they have to hide out at some friends place until she can heal. That's when things get strange with odd visitors and help.

This is definitely a thinker show with lots of drama and action and great character development. If your not watching this series you should start you will be smarter for it. Plus you will have some great entertainment.

I won't post the links as the series is already up to number 11 but if you look in past blogs you should be able to find most if not all the links.

Random reviews and Todays New Daily Anime Releases

Not too many new releases today as usual. Also I don't have much in the way of review today either. I guess I will just have to wait until something inspires me to review. One thing I will say is Claymore is a must see series. The latest releases was awesome as it looks like we have opened up a lot of new directions for this series. The story and characters for it are the best so far this year. If you have not started watching it yet then get busy and start.

Also one of today's new releases Blue Dragon. Based on the xbox 360 game this series is turning out great can't wait for the game to come out state side. It has a lot of adult humor especially this episode. But it is very very entertaining.
