For most of her young life, Juliet lived a tortuous lie. Disguised as a boy, she prowled the shadows of Neo Verona as the Red Whirlwind - a masked crusader determined to right the wrongs of a heinous regime. Nothing else mattered to this lionhearted beauty until the day she laid eyes on her Romeo. Handsome and daring, he swooped into her life and spirited her away from the turbulence of a common existence. Although born of different worlds, their love proved strong enough to bridge the gap between two sides of a world fractured by unfathomable evil. But now, as their people's suffering reaches unspeakable levels, the greatest lovers the world has ever known must unite to overcome the forces conspiring to keep them apart.

English The first few and the last few episodes dragged a bit, probably because of a lot of scenes that were unnecessary IMHO (especially the last few episodes), but the middle part, for me, went by at such a beautiful pace that I was always surprised when the ending theme came on... It's romance like crazy, but what else would you expect from Romeo and Juliet, right? Those who know Shakespeare might find themselves watching it, as there are plenty of allusions to his works, plus the author himself is there, albeit a bit different than I would have imagined... Otherwise, everything has already been covered by Subjektiv. ()
