What is the Given anime about?
A heartfelt coming-of-age story, Given starts with Ritsuka Uenoyama, a jaded high school student who finds his world turned upside down when he meets Mafuyu Sato. Mafuyu, a withdrawn and introverted boy, possesses an extraordinary vocal talent hidden beneath a troubled exterior.
As Ritsuka helps Mafuyu rediscover his love for music, a deep bond forms between them, exploring themes of love, loss, and the power of music to heal.
Together with their friends, they form a band, navigating the challenges of adolescence while searching for their own identities and paths in life.
The complete Given watch order
The best way to enjoy the Given series is to watch the anime and movies in chronological release order.

Here is the perfect Given watch order:
- Given (11 episodes)
- Given movie 1
- Given: Uragawa no Sonzai (OVA)
- Given movie 2 hiiragi mix
