About Romeo x Juliet

Meet Romeo x Juliet, a fantasy, romance and drama anime by Gonzo (2007). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: On the floating continent of Neo Verona, the Montague family slaughters the entire Capulet family and seizes control of the domain. The true heir to the throne, Juliet Fiammata Asto Capulet, manages to escape the onslaught and is hidden away by loyalists for 14 years with hope that she may one day overthrow the cruel Montague regime.

Also worth knowing: Despite having forgotten the murder of her entire family, Juliet now secretly protects the oppressed citizens of Neo Verona as a vigilante called the Red Whirlwind. During one of her escapades she meets Romeo Candorebanto Montague, the kind and selfless son of the tyrannical Prince Laertes Montague, and without knowledge of each other's background, they both fall in love at first sight. Unfortunately, however, their destiny is a cursed one: not only does each of the two families wish to obliterate the other, but a long-lost secret hidden beneath Neo Verona also threatens their undying love for each other.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. If you count yourself among fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds, put it on your list.
