So, I already have watched Blast of Tempest and really enjoyed it. I know that there is a Romeo x Juliet anime and that No. 6 references Shakespeare. I was wondering, are there others that reference/quote Shakespeare? ;)

How on earth does Kenichi Reference Shakespeare? I've seen that and am studying that writer for college and can't see any links.

Well there is an episode of Ranma 1/2 that *attempts* a Shakespearean play. Episode #39. It's actually a really cute/funny episode but the play gets all wacky by the end.

There's a minor character in Stellvia of the Universe that quotes Shakespeare in almost every scene she appears in. Other than that, I don't know of any.
