Thus this series should be evaluated entirely on its own merits rather than as an extension of the overall Romeo and Juliet franchise. Looked at that way, the first half stands up quite well. It spins an effectively dramatic, sometimes beautiful, and occasionally even emotional story stocked with plenty of action and all of the requisite romantic moments, one which tells of a young woman's struggle to come to terms with who she is and what she must do while contending with the first flowering of spontaneous love. It also details a young man's increasing dissatisfaction with what his father has wrought and willingness to favor matters of the heart over matters of familial loyalty. Throughout it all, the inherent tragedy of these two specific individuals falling in love, given their circumstances, ever lingers, and the writing equally emphasizes both the pain and the joy such fresh love can bring. As a result, the almost desperate first kiss of Romeo and Juliet, framed by fireworks and tinged by heartbreak for the well-meaning person who gets left out, will stand as one of the all-time great anime smooches. For all the theatrics involved in setting that scene up (but this is Romeo and Juliet, so where better to use theatrics?), the way Juliet initially resists and only reluctantly accedes to her own desire gives the scene a sense of realism and conviction. Later scenes where Romeo and Juliet are together alone also show a convincing chemistry.
