Romeo x Juliet

Both of these shows come from the same studio, and they have a similar format as well - reimagining classic literature in a different setting. Gankutsuou, for instance, is adapted to involve space travel. If you're a stickler for exact details, these probably aren't for you. They adjust the plot and such freely, but they try to remain true to the spirit of the original works and reinvent them in a new and interesting way. Some might hold that as a griping point, but I think reimagining rather than just regurgitating is an admirable goal. 

Gonzo used to have something of a Romeo & Juliet fetish, as well as being one of few studios to have the balls to adapt material not destined to be adored by otaku. And this resulted in two very different anime, linked only by their usage of R&J tragedy as a main theme. Basilisk is best described as the Japanese period piece, ninja warfare equivalent of R&J. Meanwhile, Romeo x Juliet is a re-imagining of Shakespeare's work... complete with flying horses and other fantasy elements sure to irk purists. The names are the same and core theme, but little else. The series themselves do differ considerably, with Basilisk being a Battle Royale style bloodbath and RxJ being more of a tragic/romantic adventure. BUT, one only has to read 'Romeo & Juliet' to understand where the similarities lie... read more 

Romeo x Juliet is a period piece like Emma, though it has a bit more action and has more fantasy anime qualities. If you liked the romanticism in Emma, then you will definitely enjoy this new spin on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  

Two anime fond of shaking that age-old spear that is Shakespeare. One is the loosest of adaptations (RxJ); the other takes inspiration from Shakespeare's work as it happily throws around quotes from Hamlet & The Tempest (ZnT). It's HIGHLY DOUBTFUL Shakespeare would've envisioned flying horses, trees fighting and the like. And you aren't going to find dialogue that tries to be faithful to the source material's old English roots unless you watch RxJ dubbed. BUT, both anime are tragic love stories given an anime twist, so they're still easy to link as anime. 

Tyranny by an unjust ruler/empire are present in both animes along with rebellions by a mysterious figure (Zero and Red Whirlwind). Friendships/romances on both sides of a war. Many other similarities as well. Both are awesome. 

Juliet Capulet, the heroine of Romeo x Juliet, is the Utena Tenjou of a new generation. She's tomboyish, independent, and passionate, but, like Utena, her romantic dilemma slowly comes into conflict with her tasks as a hero. If you're tired of seeing moe schoolgirls and crabby tsunderes as female leads and want more heroines like Utena, give Romeo x Juliet a try. You might just end up rooting for the House of Capulet. 

A forbidden love! 

If you're a fan of stories set in Europe or with a European theme and about nobles, you should check this out. Also, both art are beautifully drawn.  

Just like with Basilisk and Romeo x Juliet, Chrono Crusade is another example of Gonzo's love of tragic romance in their works. And a word of warning: CC is the most depressing of the three by the end due to some choice anime original alterations. A demon and a nun with a gun: never going to have a happy end, that! What makes Chrono Crusade especially NOOO in terms of emotional overload is that, in order for the titular lead to use his demonic powers, he has to drain the life of the heroine, Rosette. Never have I encountered a similar 'superpower limiter' before. As for Romeo x Juliet, the similarities begin and end with the slightly spoilerific title.  read more 

Both series feature romance between the two main characters who come from opposing sides of warring factions with a medieval European-like setting and similar art style. Lots of political intrigue and a desire to improve the living conditions for the citizens of both worlds. 

They have same love intensity and at the end there is this Huge tree. They are both awesome. *wink* 

with one look those animes have nothing to look like but both animes are about beautiful love that brings pain and happiness same time, this animes are perfect match for those who love sad love stories. 

one thing similar is the ending i dont want to spoil it the other similarity is a normal boy falls for a girl that has special powers and the girl is the only one able to save the world but the guy doesnt want to loose her 

The plots aren't the same, not even close, but the 'feeling' you get while watching them is the same. Dark drama, sadness, fighting, blood spillage, deaths and the search for the truth in their harsh world with a little romance mixed in. In No.6 case, the romance is more of a 'bond' between the main characters (cos they're both male) where Romeo + Juliet is about about their love and passion for each other - based on the original of course. I also think that the animations are very similar; the way they move, fight and the way the characters are drawn. So even though the plots are completely different you can enjoyed both animes on the same level. read more 

Both anime's are based off already existing products and have been improved from the original stories. Snow White with the red hair takes place in the same sort of time period as Romeo X Juliet and has a commoner falling in love with a prince/noble. At first the main heroine being Shirayuki/Juliet is in hiding and in both cases get found by the main character which progresses their romances from their. Both series have side characters that support the main characters through their struggles to keep their relationship together, in which both animes share a similar theme where the main characters relationships are thought badly upon. 

Both loosely based on Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Show rivalry between clans and the star-crossed lovers hiding their love from their clans. Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet is more on modern mixed with medieval and romantic comedy while Romeo x Juliet is more on fantasy and tragedy. Black Doggy Dorm - Montague Family and White Cat Dorm - Capulet Family Romio Inuzaka - Romeo Montague and Juliet Persia - Juliet Capulet Juliet is more of a fighter.  

Both shows draw heavy inspiration from Shakepeare's Romeo and Juliet while mixing in heavy fantasy elements and taking place (partially) on a floating island that somehow eventually becomes involved in the plot. The main difference seems to be how many episodes did each one get to tell the same story. 

The animation is very similar and the plot is somewhat confusing, yet awesome at the same time.  

Both animes are very very VERY good shoujos that aren't as typical as you expect at first The two of them have a redhead sixteen year-old princess female lead with a sweet,caring but also strong and determinated personality. This two animes are historical romances with action, drama and a little bit of fantasy with a somewhat "epic" feeling. Both of them have 24 episodes and reverse harem too.  

Both are set in floating cities, you have this medieval atmosphere, sword fights. Both female characters are strong and high-skilled. The main story includes defeating a powerful "king". Both anime art are very detailed and the romance is very similar as well. It's really worth watching :) 

Have a similarity with forbidden or impossible love!? both animes and mangas are simply amazing creations?! watch or read both are a bog hit :P  

Romance is everywhere, not only in fiction; it doesn't exist only in another, imaginary world. The grey everyday life is always waiting for love to paint it colorful. As we have all heard of the tragic love of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet, we maybe have wished to find that special someone who is destined to bring us happiness. The anime adaptation Romeo x Juliet is as exciting as the original play, but there is much more magic and mystery in its own cute way. The stories of gentleness, love and passion are not always supposed to be seen on stage. They are everywhere around us; proof for that is one of the most romantic animes ever - ef - a tale of memories. The most valuable thing shown in it is that love is not just a distant feeling but is much closer to our hearts than we think it is. read more 

Both animes are mostly based on romance, although Ef is also mystery while Romeo x Juliet has fantasy. 

Both contain, romance between the main 2 characters; with the guy trying to protect his love. Both also have fantasy, where the world/universe appears to need some sort of sacrifice; so there is always a sense of lurking doom. Both have a lot of cheese, some comedy and is quite predictable, but nice watches. 

Well, The only thing in this anime that made them similar is that they both belong under the ROMANCE genre. The setting, art and everything are very different. But still, if you're looking for an anime that would make your nose wet and your eyes sore, I'd recommend you to watch this one. 

They both have an impossible love, because their families oppose to it. 

-Both anime involving love and romance that can never happen. -Both also have same kinda ending i don't want to say anything but Romeo X Juliet ending a little bit better. (Only a bit.) -Both also involving with the world destruction and only hero and heroine can stop it. -Both also involving with war that can effect in that world future. -Both anime capable to make you cry!! (LOL) -Both anime also worth to watch!! Difference -Guilty Crown is much more to action than romance, and Romeo X Juliet much more to romance than action. -Setting place is different. Guilty Crown take place at the future, while Romeo X Juliet take place at the past.  read more 

Completely different story lines and genres but, both have to characters from different families that cannot fall in love/be friends because, of a family fued. 

the love story in the beginig of black cat is the typical romeo and juliet theme (unrequeted love) though black cat is about an assasin becoming a bounty hunter sweeper romeo x juliet focuses on the love and heart rendering adventure they have. if you enjoyed the short lived love story in black cat i recomend Romeo X Juliet!!!! 

Both dealt with power struggle, romance and some sort of supernatural element.  

-Both are in very similar fantasy settings -Centers around a romance that is controversial in some way (RxJ: From enemy families / ZnT: From entirely different Worlds) -The "main pairings" of each have someone of wealth/royalty, and someone of lesser status -Each have fairly large supporting casts The main difference between these two is the "ecchi" tag on in Zero no Tsukaima. 

Both stories are mainly about a redheaded girl who did not know she is the true ruler of a kingdom and fights to get it back from its current ruler. People travel by fanatical flying creatures. Both are fantasy and action, though juuni kokuki had more of both. 

• Forbidden love story, Europian setting and tragic ending. 

• Both the anime centred around forbidden love story. • Both are very dramatic and have a tragic ending.  

i watched the shows back-to-back (for...reasons..) and they are weirdly similar. The male and female main characters are both in semi-toxic relationships; together its them vs. the World. Sure, in one its the people of tokyo caught in the crossfire of a death game, while in the other its the Montagues & Capulets of Neo-Verona. But at the end of the day you're left to ponder the meaning of love.  

Probably because their same love story it's complicated. yah thats rigth word it's complicated.  

Both stories feature a romance between a heroic and selfless boy and a kind and feminine girl, a floating continent with fantasy elements for a setting, battles and conflicts with powerful enemies, and major villains who seek control over cities by unethical means.  

Futuristic animated versions of Italian cities: RxJ is set in Neo Verona, while Aria in Neo Venezia. Different for characters and story (or lack thereof), but with similar vibes and pretty detailed visuals. 

Even though Romeo and Juliet is not a movie it still has the same storyline. The Sea Prince and the Fire Child is about two creatures from different worlds who are suppose to despise each other. They then meet and fall in love. Same goes for Romeo and Juliet they are two lovers from families who are enemies. Both of these animes end the same way. They also have other similar features. For the most part it is the storyline. 

Both have action/fantasy/romance/drama. Both have strong MC's who can all fight. Romeo X Juliet is of course even more romance focused than Sukasuka, but I think both have very enjoyable romance that develop over the course of the series. On the other hand, Sukasuka has even more fantasy elements to it. If you liked One I suggest checking out the other if you're in the mood for another action/fantasy/romance/drama. 

if you liked one, the other is definitely worth a shot. they're both centered on romance and fantasy. bittersweet, but not without some humor. romeo x juliet may be a little more dramatic, but i'm sure that's a given. they leave you feeling warm and satisfied.  

Well the similarities are the floating continents in the skies in both series. In Romeo x Juliet it is the power of the tree Escalus which is nourishing the land and holding it in the floating state while in Munto it is the power of Akuto. Both worlds are about to be destroyed due to lack of power to sustain them. 

Both anime is about royal life and the relationship of young princess and princess. RxJ takes on a dark and sad take on romance and plot development. Whereas, Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii is packed with comedy. I recommend RxJ for those who enjoy romantic tragedy and SSwaU for those who love comedy and a happy ending. Watch both!! they're both heart warming and will leave you with a smile of satisfaction! :) 

Drama. This is the word that connects those two animes. The story in Romeo x Juliet is more romantic than that in Wolf's Rain, but the main idea is the same- the prise you have to pay for your freedom or for the happines of your loved one. Both of the stories are very touching and deep, have awesome animation and music and I hightly recommend them. 

These series aren't very similar, but both contain forbidden relationship between canon Romeo and Juliet and between siblings 

Even if they are different in gernes, they are very emotional, the story has tragedy in it and there is "love at first sight". I made this recommendation to show, that not just a shoujo-ai anime can be recommendation for another. 

Both stories take places in history and have some well-known historical characters. Both main characters are strong willed woman who pretend to be a man (not all the time though).  

Both main protagonist girls pretend to be a boy. Both main boy and girl fall in love. RomeoXJuliet is more dramatic, less comedic, and less light than Ouran, though. Ouran is mostly comedy, as to RomeoXJuliet is more of Drama. But, if you liked how the girl pretends to be a boy and then falls in love kind of set, then you would enjoy this one/ the other. (: 

Both revolve mainly around a tragic romance but contain more to the series, making it all the more charming. 

both are very good love stories. Even if they have a very different developement, they share the stile of main characters wich are passioned and their actions and desitions seems to be like the onesthat normal people have in real life. you would feel like whatching the best of the soup operas : P 

Both are based on works of fiction produced a few centuries ago. Both are Drama and Shoujo Both have Romance They are (or at least the original source material for Romeo + Juliet) are set in Europe. Both have had various adaptations of films, books, plays. etc One has Fantasy as an extra genre, although the original play, does not. 

Romeo x Juliet and Hana yori Dango are similar because they are both a romance of love. Romeo x Juliet: Capulets and Mongolias-Hana yori Dango: Rich and Poor. They both are opposite to the each others world. But somehow they must find a way to be together, even though their worlds are apart, they still want to love each other. 

In both there´s ancient and futuristic elements together and both have mithology. Also, the main girl dresses as a boy and is the leader of a revolution against an empire that reigns with cruelty and killed her family. Later,she falls in love with her enemy.  

In both series the protagonists have a deep bond with each other, there are no humorous or funny scenes, the art is alike and both of them are telling the struggle against the inevitable fate (cast by family quarrel). [Unlike RxJ, it has some gore like Blood+]. 

If you enjoy fantasy romance with action than these anime will entertain you: Both are stories where a faction/race plans to overthrow a cruel regime where the ruler/king is a tyrant. You have a forbidden love as a central theme and mythology of divine beings and also, in both the fate of the world is in danger, as the world faces an imminent destruction.  

Both Angelique and Juliet are fated to be the ones to save the world. They had to give up their own happiness for the happiness of others, for the place they truely love, even if it means sacrificing themselves. 

Boy meets a girl and falls in love with her,cares for her and tends to worry for her. Both romances,and mystery!enjoy 

Forbidden romances, similar characters (Romeo=William, Hermione=Eleanor, Lord Montague=Viscount Campbell, etc.), both inspired by English stuff (Shakespeare plays and maids, respectively) and both really good drama-romances! 

Well, for me it's obvious. Both have: floating islands; there´s a complicated love; problems like parent's murder; lot's of identification hiding, blending in with normal people and stuff; people wanting revenge; people die; I think they're similar so i guess you liked Romeo x Juliet you'll like Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta or the other way.
