I expected this to be pretty bad, but so far it's my favorite of the new shows this season, out of the ones I'm actively following (which includes Lucky Star, Blue Dragon, and Xenoglossia).
Instead of making a direct translation of the play, GONZO has taken more than a few liberties. For example, the shows seems like it'll have small subplots about the gap between the rich and the poor, and Juliet isn't portrayed as a sheltered rich girl. It looks as if the anime will have much more conflict than the original work, which could really be exciting to watch.
The animation and character designs are very clean looking, especially in HD. The music, done by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy XII, Radiant Silvergun, Vagrant Story), is grand and fits well into the world of Neo Verona. It still has the potential to turn out terrible, but I'm pleased with what I've seen so far.
Jam it back in, in the dark.

Reason: It's 'Sakimoto', not 'Sakamoto'
