If you did not like the original then you are not alone.I have no love for the classic tragedy of two teenage "star crossed lovers" trying their very hardest to destroy their own happiness.Seriously,read the story.But, enough of that, on to the anime.

The story is pretty unique, it takes place in a mysterious country.The main characters meet by chance and fall in love with basically the whole world against them.They fight,struggle and try their very hardest to make their relationship work and also try to save the world.If you watch it in English you will notice that the characters constantly switch from modern day English to Shakespeare English, it actually does not deter you from watching it, so give it a chance if it annoys you at first.It's very interesting story and worth watching if you are up for a tragic with a twist.
