* IdiotPlot:
** The Capulet faction can be forgiven for keeping Juliet hidden and making her pose as a boy, since everyone knows the last remaining Capulet is female and they can't afford to leave Neo Verona itself. Keeping Juliet LockedOutOfTheLoop ''in regards to her own heritage until her DangerousSixteenthBirthday'', however, is downright '''idiotic''' since it means Juliet is completely unprepared to become the leader of the group and command them against the tyrannical Montague regime, [[BreakTheCutie and it takes a HEAVY mental/emotional toll on her.]] And they're shocked and even ''angry'' that the poor girl is completely shocked and unable to handle it at first? '''''Please'''''!
** What's more idiotic is that the Capulet family chose to start their rebellion against the Montague family once she turned 16, instead of starting it much earlier with someone who had more experience. But since she's the last of the Capulet family, they decided that she should be the one to lead it.

Added DiffLines:

* EsotericHappyEnding: Ends with most of the cast living happily ever after...all because Romeo and Juliet were horribly killed and sacrificed to a tree which had previously kept the city they live in afloat in the sky. What's worse, the show makes it very clear that none of this was Juliet's choice, but that ''every single woman born to the Capulet line'' had been sacrificed to this very same tree, meaning that she could have never reclaimed her throne (something the series had been building up to since the beginning) or ruled Neo Verona even if she wanted to.

Removing All There Is To Know About The Crying Game because that trope does not exist, and there is already an example from It Was His Sled.


* AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame: Episode 23 showcases Juliet and Romeo fighting against each other due to clashing differences. Episode 24? The second half is a WhamEpisode and MoodWhiplash all at once. [[spoiler:You just know that this anime is going to end horribly, but when Romeo dies first to protect Juliet, and then Juliet sacrifices herself to save the floating colony, you realize the ending was a TearJerker waiting to happen]].

* SuperlativeDubbing: Yep, there's some inevitable YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe, but it's worth enduring it to hear many of Shakespeare's original lines ([[ShoutOut from more than just Romeo and Juliet]]) paired with beautifully animated scenes and wonderfully delivered by some very talented voice actors.
