That was a nice episode, fully dedicated to the two of them. The Interlude with the hunters was pretty nice and I think it was a good idea let Cielo live somewhere else protecting the other Pegasus just like Romeo and Juliet should be set free to be with each other, ne? ^^

Looking forward to more.

Great job letting Cielo go where the hunters still roam around. Even if he can "protect himself and his new friend" it still wasn't too smart.

Soooo cheesy, especially the wedding thing.
Bahhh.

Yeah, I kind of dislike how they both ran away leaving behind their responsibilities. Especially Juliet. I mean I can understand the desire to run away from it all and just continue living blissfully in happiness, but c'mon. The people she has spent her life with are dying for her and she would rather run off with a guy she met not too long ago?

It's like... one episode she's crying and saying how it's her fault. And then she runs off the next moment to be happy as repentance? Did she forget the sacrifice of the Doctor, Francisco and etc?

The episode was one giant series of cliche. Even if it is a romance show they need to keep things more subtle for now, and not just throw in whatever they can think of. Not sure if I even want to keep watching this anymore.

Was an interesting turn of events. Both of them just "ditching" their lives. Man that would be so convenient to do sometimes. However, this isn't a fantasy world we live in, so we can't go and do that. However, Gonzo doesn't seem to believe that. Bastards.

Totally awesome! Cielo slobbers as he says, "I will own your asses!" in pegasus language. Nothing else is a better display of manliness than slobber... well okay, slobber and sweat. I watched 300, I now know these things.

What the heck is Romeo thinking by leaving Cielo? He'll just get caught later. And no amount of slobber will keep that from happening.

Also, Romeo or Juliet, take the damn sword with you! You may need to protect yourselves during your travels.

Ah... irises, a chruch, marriage, the kiss... and then the fast music. Now, that Romeo and Juliet have shared more intimate moments, let's end the series on a good note! No!!! We can't have that... Is this truly a love that shall never bear fruit? I think it will, maybe the sour berries are a foreshadowing...

Good thing there's been no drama or Tybalt being killed by Romeo... otherwise it becomes too close to the original Romeo and Juliet.

Of course, the next episodes could follow the play some. Mercutio could be killed by Tybalt and Romeo gets revenge for him. Even though Romeo and Tybalt are not good friends in the first place, maybe Romeo already doesn't like Tybalt because of the time he and Juliet were embracing. That's all hypothetical though.

This whole episode was one big "AWWWWWW" moment after another, ranging from "awww...that's so cheesy" (Cielo and his new girlfriend) to "aww...that's sweet" (sleeping in each other's arms...aww...).

I agree, he did seem to get over that pretty quickly. But this sort of giddy lovey-dovey-ness can't last forever, they have to get to the fighting eventually.

Letting Cielo go was a big no-no to me, wtf was that. Those hunters are still there and the symbolism was too cheesy for my taste but oh well. I thought they were going to take the female pagsus with them for Juliet or something. Cielo kicked ass. Anyway I still love Romeo. Juliet I feel has no real personality sometimes.

It wasn't that bad it was cute at some parts and when they went towards the wedding I remembered the scene when they did get married and the priest guy. I liked this episode though more than others. With so many episodes left though I don't know how it's all gunna go.

Why did Romeo let Cielo go in such a place?! D: I almost wished that Juliet would take the other pegasus and Romeo would... well, keep Cielo. Not both of those pegasus...es could get caught by the hunters, gahh.

I could hardly believe this episode was real when it started... I didn't think there could possible be an episode just dedicated to fluff. I guess it was nice having some time devoted to their relationship, but it didn't really feel like it developed their characters. (And Juliet's character is a bit all over the place... She seemed to forget her emo-ness pretty quickly.)

I totally agree as well. With everything you both said.
But more than anything... Why did Romeo let Cielo go? It would have been a lot nicer if Juliet kept the brown pegasus. Because, well... it may sound wired but the things I love the most in this anime are the pegasus. Besides, Cielo was pretty much all Romeo had in his life. He spent the days flying around. What will he do when things "go back to normal" aka "they somehow get back to Neo Verona and Juliet gets back to her goal of killing the Duke"?
Also, Juliet is getting wired. I don't know what she wants anymore. I don't thing that she can't be with Romeo just because he's a Montague but still, she has things to do, she has a duty to all of the people who risked they're lives for her! And thinking that just one episode ago she'd rather be death because of that...

I'll make this quick because I really want to see the next episode without it affecting my views of this one:
Personally, I think that this sort of episode was supposed to be the "chock full of love" one because something big will happen that will either A) keep them apart or B) prevent any other moments of lovely scenes like the ones in this, hence its creation :) (I admit I had a few [okay many...] fangirl moments during this episode xD ) I usually see that in shows like this--they're probably trying to compensate for what they can't fit in later/ for a while.

I agree, I thought it would've been cooler if Juliet kept the other dragonstead so she could fly alongside Romeo and also have some epic fight sequence while in flight... and then Romeo let Cielo go?!? I think he'll regret it later considering before all he seemed to do was fly around the city. I'll really miss Cielo :( Hoping both dragonsteads come back into the picture later.
Juliet acting this way is I think her way of trying to cope with pain. Even though you want to shake her and remind her to get back to business, it's natural for her to want to run away from all the bad things that she feels responsible for in Neo Verona. I don't think anyone out there could possibly believe that she's not returning to do what she's gotta do eventually, though--as I said, I think it's a compensation episode :) (sadly enough, considering they finally are together after 10 eps...)

This was the most emotional I've felt in the whole series. I know that everyone's been saying how good this is, but I'm just finding it completely cheesy, and I feel a little embarrassed when watching it, even though I'm all alone.

Also, I really thought that Juliet was going to take the other Pegasus. Romeo leaving Cielo was pretty heart wrenching for me. I mean, being able to leave behind your best friend of, what. Nine years? In a place where poachers were left? WITH YOUR SWORD? Yeah. Romeo, don't be Juliet. You're supposed to be the smart one.

I dunno why, but maybe it's just because I like to point out things that are wrong with physics: when the boat was floating. I kept thinking they were gonna crash into something, because no one was steering it or anything. But nope, it was going perfectly straight.

I really enjoyed this episode, mainly because I feel that this is the highpoint of the tragedy. Hopefully it will be all downhill from here and characters should start dying left and right. Sure the episode was cheesy but necessarily so. This episode should be the last breath before jump (hopefully).

All in all, I think these two just threw away caution in the name of love.

Go ahead, eat random berries in a forest, leave your horse to fend for itself in the wild and walk the rest of the way, leave traceable objects in the hands of questionable store clerks, sleep on a boat in a river you've never been to before, and run into an abandoned building without making sure it's safe.

-rubs eyes- So within two episodes, Juliet went from:

  • accepting her birthright and swearing revenge on the Montagues
  • the Montagues ATTACKING HER HIDEOUT
  • receiving word afterward that her FRIENDS AND RETAINERS WERE CAPTURED
  • walking the city in a depressed haze, to the point of making herself sick

to... running away with Romeo and exchanging vows?

Not to mention both of them letting the scoundrels go, letting Cielo go... oyyyy. I really, really liked how this series started off, and I know the theme of the source material is "dumb teenagers fall in love", but this was outright painful to watch.

O.K. so that was sweet. Full of cheese and cliché, but still sweet, had plenty of aww moments. I really was surprised by the release of "brother" ciello, partially because of what they built him up to be, partially because he was the only practical transportation, and partially because I, like many others, really just thought they would take the injured dragonstead with them for Juliet, they coordinated it to her colors and everything. Oh well. Also, an opinion on why they both just ditched their lives, romeo doesn't actually seem to have one and Juliet still presumes all her supporters dead (which let's face it, they probably aren't) and doesn't even know where to start to begin putting the pieces back together again.

I can't really enjoy this romance since Juliet is having a great time while her friends have gotten killed or captured which was somewhat her fault in the first place. Hell at least show some hint that she's worried, makes her look like she doesn't give a dam lol.

Keep in mind Romeo and Juliet of the original Shakespeare were just as naive and dense because of age. The anime is understandable albeit too happy imo.

I'll give it an 8/10 if they commit suicide like the actual Shakespeare play though.

When Juliet said "but" after they let Cielo go (who had legit only just met the other horse, so how could it be in love?!) - I think she was trying to tell Romeo "you realise that's our ride gone now, right?" LOL! that's what I thought, I was like ummm, that was how you got there dude.

Yeah it was also dumb since the hunters were still around, I assumed he would've told Juliet to take the stray and ride it away ... it would have been more logical to take both with them instead of leaving them behind though.

Good thing they perchanced upon an abandoned tiny boat only to find an abandoned village - when I think about it, this show has too many convenient plot points!

The wedding was cute but they could have at least shown a cute close up of the kiss, that annoyed me, it was so cute up until that and then wide shot and I was like dafuq man, way to kill it.

And you're right it makes no sense how one minute she wants revenge against Romeo's household and the next she's running off with him and fake marrying him. Since there was no one to legalise it or anything. It doesn't really count.

Romeo released Cielo like he was a pokemon. Should have kept him and the other pegasus and boom, 2 new rides and no one has to leave each other.

Since this episode was solely focussed on the relationship between the two,the romance aspect could really shine. May be my favorite episode yet.
