In 2009, Madman Entertainment released the entire anime series Romeo X Juliet over two collections. In addition, every couple of months for a while now Madman Entertainment have been merging some of their older series into Complete Collection releases – including K-ON!, Honey and Clover and numerous individual volume releases to name a few.
Romeo X Juliet seems to be the next title to receive such treatment, with a release date not formally confirmed, but I would estimate to be December 2012 or early-2013. As with its previous releases, it seems to currently be limited to a DVD release.
In the fantastical aeropolis of Neo Verona, the noble house of Capulet had ruled peacefully for generations – until fourteen years ago, when the ancient grudge held by the rival house of Montague led to a mutiny, and the Capulets were deposed and all wiped out in a bloody coup. Now, as Neo Verona suffers under the thrall of its new masters, the fates of two star crossed lovers are about to become tragically entwined… As the citizens of the city suffer, the Capulet clan struggles to strike a blow against their enemies, and the Montagues tighten their grasp on power, an unlikely love blossoms between Romeo and Juliet – but in the face of such adversity, this ill-fated love may be doomed from the outset. Triumph or tragedy; only fate knows what awaits Romeo and Juliet…
and if you have not guessed, it is based off William Shakespeare’s famous play “Romeo and Juliet”.
