Fuck off retard

In a way he's not wrong. Anime is entertainment for the masses and all of Shakespeare's work was entertainment for the masses.
Only pseudo-intellectuals pretend to see his works as something deep, profound, smart and intellectual.

If Shakespeare took one of his works and compressed it entirely into one act maybe.

too bad Crossbone will never be adapted

Just take a minute, just a minute, and think about what you're saying

K-ON featured an actual performance of Shakespeare, and is therefore by definition the closest anime has come to being Shakespearean.

Are you going to tell me Hamlet or Otello aren't just exploitative works intended to give the public at the time what they wanted (revenge and cuckolding)? What about Titus Andronicus?

'Tis true

Theater was the TV / Netflix of its time.

Not so fast.

This is. You should watch it in eng dub.

Unironically my favorite gundam

What's the point for an anime to be Shakespearian though

Rather than aiming for originality, it aims to not be itself? Pitiful.

And plagiarise the Star Wars soundtrack?

Even actual Gundam fans accept F91 wasn't amazing

I think its pretty obvious the Bard envisoned Romeo to ideally be played by Mio.
Source: he named the character RoMIO

You mean fake Gundam fans.

Stealing the OST of Empire Strikes Back was probably one of the few highlights of F91

Wasn't Shakespeare an actual character on this

Unsurprisingly, the guy posting Obari has shit taste

I think I recall CCA using some Star Wars sounds too.

I barely remember F91, but it was shit.

Mainly for the beam sabers
F91 steals tracks from the movies

Oh Iron Cuck, you could've been interesting and fun if your entire character wasn't summarized in 3 lines at the very end
