Love is complicated, almost as complicated as making music. The anime film Given does a perfect job of showing the stress and complexities that both subjects can create; however, it happens at the same time!
The film follows a quartet of bandmates, and three of them appear to be in a very serious love triangle while the fourth decides its time to step up and create some music. As the film progresses, the stresses continue to grow, and the characters learn more about each other and themselves.
When the film was initially released, it became a huge hit with the viewers and has recently been confirmed to be making the move to Crunchyroll! A trailer has also been released that announces the release of the film, which can be seen below!
For now, there is no official release date, but it is important to stay tuned for future updates! We would love to hear your thoughts on the trailer and the news in the usual spot!
