By episode 5 it was more blasphemy than solid, cracky fun so I gave up. The show, to me, put together a lot of elements that worked better in other series (Utena, Escaflowne) and then pretended it was Romeo x Juliet. I would have had a lot easier time with the show if they'd just called it something else, honestly. My biggest frustration were the leads-- Juliet was stupid but supposedly heroic and Romeo was as milquetoast as shoujo heroes ever get. I'm glad to hear it only gets worse, had I pushed through it it would've been a waste of my precious time, I suppose. But it's a shame-- the last four items you list before the ratings seem to indicate I would love the series, as that's what drew me to watch it in the first place.
