So initially, Tofu added Romeo x Juliet to our rotation because the opening theme is a redone version of "You Raise Me Up" and it was one of the funniest things imaginable. Imagine our surprise when it turns out to actually be a pretty freakin' great show (unless you're Matt)!

There's a lot to talk about with an anime adaptation of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet - how it plays around with the source material in interesting ways, how it sets itself apart from the original, how the language you watch the show in changes the entire feel of the series - and man, do we talk about it. We had some words about the show (and each other's opinions about the show), so trust us when we say that this is an episode well worth listening to.
