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.
For many fans, Romeo and Juliet does not match the greatness of Gankutsuou, but it's still fair to call it Gankutsuou's spiritual successor. Made by the same studio, both are loose adaptations of classic literature that feature more futuristic, sci-fi-esque settings.
Gonzo's masterpieces, loosely adaptated from literature's classics, with a fresh, futuristic setting.
Aristocracy. Love. Tragedy. Revenge. A relationship obstructed by other people.
Abundance of dramatic and romantic moments, along with duels.
European references, beautiful music and gorgeous graphics.

Both shows are retellings of famous classical pieces of literature, with added supernatural elements to them. In both cases the original premise of the story is there, however, they both deviate as the story progresses

Both series are reimaginings of classic literature by Studio Gonzo. They are both tragedies, with a setting reminiscent of the early modern era in Europe. As a result they both share a chivalrous tone due to the attitudes of the aristocratic characters.
