🎵 What is Given About?
Hi there! I’m an anime and music-loving writer here to help 😊
Maybe you’re wondering:
“Given looks interesting, but where should I start?”
“There’s a TV series, movies, and an OAD… it’s kind of confusing!”
Good news — Given is actually super easy to follow. Just watch it in release order, and you’re golden! Even if you’re new to anime or BL titles, this one’s incredibly accessible and emotionally rewarding.
Based on the hit manga by Natsuki Kizu, Given follows a group of young men connected by music, heartbreak, and quiet moments of love.
It’s a beautiful blend of romance, youth, and emotional healing — all set to some truly unforgettable songs.
The bond between Mafuyu (a quiet boy with a gifted voice) and Ritsuka (a passionate guitarist) will definitely tug at your heartstrings.
Later movies like Hiiragi Mix and To the Sea introduce new characters and deepen the world even more.

🎬 Given Anime Series – Watch Order Guide (2025 Edition)
| Order | Title | Format | Year | Why it matters / What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ① | Given (TV Anime) | TV Series | 2019 | The beginning of everything — how Ritsuka and Mafuyu meet and form the band “GIVEN”. A must-watch intro. |
| ② | Given: The Movie | Movie | 2020 | Focuses on the love triangle between Haruki, Akihiko, and Ugetsu. This deepens the emotional layers. |
| ③ | Given: Uragawa no Sonzai (OAD) | OAD (Special Episode) | 2021 | A short but meaningful episode that fills the gap between the TV series and the movie. Not essential, but fans will love the extra depth. |
| ④ | Given: Hiiragi Mix (Movie) | Movie | 2024 | A new perspective! Spotlights Hiiragi and Shizusumi. A fresh take that still connects with the original cast. |
| ⑤ | Given: Umi e (To the Sea) | Movie | 2024 (Sept) | The latest entry. Continues from Hiiragi Mix — emotional, mature, and a great finale for now. |
🌟 Why This Order? (And Why It’s Worth It)
This order follows the official release timeline, which also happens to match the chronological story flow — meaning you get to experience character growth and emotional development in the exact way it was meant to unfold.
- Watching the TV series first sets the tone beautifully. Mafuyu’s voice, Ritsuka’s growth, and the raw music scenes hit hard.
- The movie (2020) is more emotionally intense and personal. You’ll appreciate the contrast with the high school vibe of the TV series.
- The OAD is short (about 20 minutes), and while you can skip it, it adds beautiful nuance — especially if you’re a fan of quiet, emotional moments.
- Hiiragi Mix feels like a fresh spin-off at first, but it cleverly weaves in familiar faces and deepens the band’s universe.
- Finally, Umi e ties everything together. It’s not just a continuation — it feels like an emotional “encore” to the Given journey.
💡 Fan tip: Watch it all in one weekend. It’s about 7 hours total, and the emotional progression feels like a full concert experience — beginning, climax, encore.
