The classic lovestory of Romeo and Juliet comes alive in the form of anime. Though they are changes in the original story like the presence of Willie (as in William Shakespeare!) and some gliches in the animation quality, the love story element that it has hasn't change. The tragedy of love between Romeo and Juliet would still excite you and when they are finally together as a couple, you would also feel relieve and happy for them.
Romeo x Juliet has also proved useful in terms of education. When my sister was studying classic literature and that includes Romeo and Juliet, she rewatched some parts that would help her remember and appreciate the story. It is also there that we got the interpreation of the infamous line Romeo, Romeo where art thou Romeo?".
And so if you like love stories, it is highly recommended that you back to the mother of all love stories and be in love with the star-crossed lovers.
