After watching both in an immediate span of time. I believe I have been given a transcendent revelation.
I HIGHLY recommend you to watch Shigatsu FIRST, then Given.
To me, I believe Given to be the soulful successor of Shigatsu.
Shigatsu gives depth and weight to Given. The same 'setsunai' and 'left behind'-ness. While Given gives the hope and the closure to Shigatsu.
Time will flow again. Go on this journey.
Amen. Elohim essaim. Elohim essaim.
Its very similar in terms of how both animes take their characters on a smiliar journey of dealing with life through music and romance. And both have beautiful music and extremely emotional messages along with everything else. As a BL it has a far more realistic portrayal of relationships as well.

Music is the focus of both anime and they both prioritize different instruments in the musical spectrum; therefore. it gives watchers different perspectives and enjoyable yet different anime to watch in the same category.

Both of these will make you cry! Your lie in April is so heart warming but so sad and Given will hit you in the feels with the back story (given is BL but it doesn’t get weird)
Both of these shows are somewhat different style romances with a big importance on music, mostly by expressing emotions through music.
These are 2 great music anime with a deep story behind them. while the story differs quite a bit, both are very emotional and heartfelt series. also the music performed in both shows are incredible, it will leave you thinking about the song for hours after you stop watching.
