After being unsuccessful in my search for "Nana" at FYE's "Animania" event last Sunday, I found myself with no new anime to watch on this cold Saturday! So what did I do? I pulled out a classic! For some inexplicable reason--or possibly inspired by the upcoming "Gnomeo & Juliet" film--I got the urge to watch "Romeo x Juliet" (released by Funimation Entertainment). Since I have the entire series on DVD, I settled in for a relaxing post-birthday anime fest! I have seen several renditions of this classic tragic love story, but I think that I like the anime take on it best! Don't get me wrong--the 1968 and 1996 renditions were noteworthy--it's just that the anime, and I'll say this without spoiling the story for those who've never watched it, gave the story some happier twists that Shakespeare himself probably would never have imagined.
