History YMMV / RomeoXJuliet

** It's made even more shameful when one remembers that in the show, Juliet [[BerserkButton would not abide disrespect of any kind toward Hermione.]] These particular fans of her's certainly aren't living by her example...

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Composed by the same guy who did the music for ''FinalFantasyTactics''!

* ToyShip: Antonio and Regan. Way too cute.

* ItWasHisSled: Romeo and Juliet die. If you weren't expecting that then you've never taken a high school English class. Or in fact it's too young to be reading this words.

* ItWasHisSled: Romeo and Juliet die. If you weren't expecting that then you've never taken a high school English class.

* DieForOurShip: Poor Hermione. She ''did'' get better, Romeo/Juliet fanbrats!

* TearJerker: The ending, of course. The duel in the penultimate episode. Also almost any scene of Romeo and Juliet happy together, because of the inevitable ending.

* HoYay: Francisco certainly ''loves'' teasing Curio. There's also a bit of it between Benvolio and Romeo, and arguably some more with Romeo and [[spoiler: Petruccio]]. [[LesYay With the ladies]], Emilia admits attraction to girl!"Odin".
** Episode 18, saw Francisco and Curio sharing a candlelit dinner ''rife'' with [[ShipTease homoerotic]] SubText. Also, who can forget this little gem, said someplace between episodes 7 and 9:
--->'''Francisco''': (to Curio) Unfortunately for ''you'', I'm not interested in men.
** William also teasingly flirts with Curio at least once
** Also worth noting the LesYay of the more...um, [[{{Squick}} Squicky]] variety between [[spoiler: Ophelia and Juliet in one of the last episodes.]] It's even lampshaded in the commentary track of the English dub:
--->[Commentary Track] "Creator/BrinaPalencia, [voice of Juliet] Just had a very special moment with [[spoiler: JamieMarchi [voice of Ophelia]. ]]
** Juliet and Hermione get a solid moment of LesYay, in a bedroom no less, in episode 16.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome -- Composed by the same guy who did the music for ''FinalFantasyTactics''!

* DieForOurShip -- Poor Hermione. She ''did'' get better, Romeo/Juliet fanbrats!

* 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 in 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 leaderess 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'''''!
* ItWasHisSled -- Romeo and Juliet die. If you weren't expecting that then you've never taken a high school English class.
* TheLoad -- Poor Benvolio. Though at least he's not a DamselScrappy.

* 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.
* TearJerker -- The ending, of course. The duel in the penultimate episode. Also almost any scene of Romeo and Juliet happy together, because of the inevitable ending.
* ToyShip -- Antonio and Regan. Way too cute.

** This troper, who had already studied the play in high school and is a normally unaffected by TearJerker moments, had to fight back tears at the ending because the last few episodes had been hinting at the fact that Romeo and Juliet may be able to ScrewDestiny and end up living HappilyEverAfter. It didn't happen.

** Episode 17, saw Francisco and Curio sharing a candlelit dinner ''rife'' with [[ShipTease homoerotic]] SubText. Also, who can forget this little gem, said someplace between episodes 7 and 9:

** '''YOU RAISE ME UUUUUUP...'''

* {{Narm}} -- Anything ranging from Tybalt's lines in the final two episodes up to the entirety of the romantic plot and the theme song.
** Also, the ''flying horses''.

* AdaptationDecay -- OH GOD, SO MUCH. If you dislike the original, though, you might see it as AdaptationDistillation.
** [[RoseOfVersaillesAbridged Cassius614]] dedicated [[http://pursuedbyabear.net/pbab/377/ an entire video to this very subject.]]

* {{Wallbanger}} -- So ''much'' drama and angst is caused by the fact that Juliet's birthright is kept from her until she's sixteen, making her too naive and unprepared to fight against the Montagues . . . and of course, to know that crushing on a mysterious noble boy is a really bad idea.
