I really enjoyed this episode. The ending of this episode was awesome since they finally quoted some dialog from the play, which I was waiting for a while now to happen (I just knew that this was coming when I saw that balcony XD). It was pretty interesting (and talk about fluke) how they made Juliet meet Romeo's mother. Another note, finally Romeo knows what's going on now, so it's going to be very interesting to see how the show takes off from here.

Hopefully the emo is over! Sick of seeing "It's all my fault!" "Forgive me!"

Haha, yeah, aside from all the emo-ness I really liked this episode. The quotes from the play were a nice touch.

Though I must admit, I didn't even realize it was Romeo's mother until she introduced herself. Guess I need to start paying more attention to the supporting characters x3

Lol, it's Shakespeare. It is emo. '_'

Anyway, I liked the episode. Umai is doing a really nice job, though the .mkv was entitled 'Vows' which is actually the title of episode 11 and not 10.

Yay, balcony scene! <3 It sort of took me by surprise that they had that in there since ... even though it's Romeo and Juliet, they changed so much from the play so when that happened I was like ... -blink- Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm watching Romeo and Juliet. Duh.

I liked how they had Juliet meet Romeo's mum and I'm interested to see where it'll all go from here now that Romeo knows the truth. I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode.

Didn't like the episode. >.< and I've been enjoying the series so far. But this episode... hmmm... half of it is Juliet moping around and the other half excessive drama. They should have dedicated a few more minutes to Tybalt. LOL

I like the episode. The moping around and passing out in front of the convent was a little hard to watch. But to see Portia take her in was good enough to make me think past that.

I don't know whether to think Tybalt is a dick or not, but I think Juliet needs to be toughened up. I hope he doesn't die. I want to see him kick the butts of the Montague dogs.

Romeo and Juliet finally meet. They should elope and that's the end of the story! No wait... it's not mushy and tragic enough yet... darn.

Loved this episode. My favorite part was when the Duke said "you too, Romeo?" to himself.

I really liked this episode! Of course Juliet's emo-ness was a bit annoying and hard to watch, but the ending really turned everything around. I loved seeing/hearing so many references to the actual play. :D Balcony scene FTW, I say.

He's kind of crass but I hope Tybalt doesn't die. I wonder how the rest of Juliet's comrades made out... and if they all lived...

The Balchony scene really took me by surprise... until Juliet started to say "Where for art thou Romeo?" I was like... okay, Romeo leaves... now what?

AWESOME!!

The emo-ness was a bit boring and totally an anime thing... You'll know what I mean once you've watched enough amount of animes...

This episode was a little slow, but picked up a lot at the end in my opinion with Romeo's mother and Romeo and Juliet meeting up and all that. I'm really looking forward to watching more.

Loved the balcony scene! I knew that it was coming when I saw Romeo go down the stairs. So good!

Soooo, how many references were there to other Shakespeare works there? I caught the Merchant of Venice (Portia, Romeo's mom), Julius Caesar (You too, Romeo?), and Hamlet ones (Laertes being Romeo's dad). What ones did I miss?

I loved this episode, the last scene was so cute it made me smile, somehow the whole thing makes me feel old though I'm technically a year older than both of them.

Finally one episode I really liked. The only thing I disliked was Juliet's emo-ness. Apart from that it was a really nice episode.

I loved when Romeo stood up and spoke out his opinion to everyone for a change and I really felt bad for him when no one agreed. Though I guess some did but were just afraid to say so. And what's wrong with the chairman? He's totally not suited for the job. Why is there even a chairman if the Duke makes every single decision in matters of who's turn it is to speak?

Oh, and finally, the balcony scene was pure win^^

I see Portia filling more of the role that Fr. Lawrence played in the original. I love these glancing touches of the play that show up from time to time. Somehow I feel like I can sense the affection the artists of this show have for these great stories of English lit.

I thought Tybalt would do what Malcolm did in Macbeth but I guess I was wrong. I’m really curious to see what happens in the remaining 14 episodes. I still think that it is unfortunate that they made Montague to be such a bad guy.

lol just can't get used to these corny scenes, but it was cute. They finally used dialogue from the play, which was pretty awesome. The OST was pretty good as well! =p

I really hated this episode. A shit version of Mercutio was in it, Juliet has bi polar and Romeo is an emotionless wimp. I hate how the characters have been created. Seriously considering dropping the anime but then I remember that I can't give it the awful review it deserves if I do.
I mildly enjoyed hearing from Romeo's mother and I liked the quote from the play at the end.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

The balcony looked a little like the garden from the Leo Di Caprio movie of the play. So far I think this is better than the original play because I have a lot of issues with it, despite having borrowed a couple of lines during the balcony scene- those were pretty good nonetheless. Well done Shakespeare for those lines, and well done writers!
“Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric

"Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki

I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that.

I like Mercutio in this version.

It was weird how Juliet went awandering and stumbled around and ended up being rescued by Romeo's mother ... what a happy coincidence.

I liked the balcony scene a lot and agree it was reminiscent mostly of the 1996 Leo movie!

Ah, young romance~~~~ <3

It would seem Prince Montague actually did love his wife, from the way he said "Romeo, you too..." as he left him. It's too bad he got corrupted ;/

I wonder if Romeo and Juliet are actually gonna die since this is an anime version of the play. It doesn't necessarily have to follow it scene by scene :3

I'm happy the balcony was included lol. I think I'll be cool with it either way if the couple lives or dies. The latter would probably be better, but I just want our bb's to be happy Q___Q

Juliet was really pathetic in this episode.
