Uenoyama's reactions are always priceless. Hiiragi's an interesting character, I'm glad we got some more scenes with him.

wat. A gay anime where not everyone is gay? nani?


Mafuyu said what I really like about music in general, it gives a way for people to just get out whatever they can't say.

Thnigs still keep moving forward so glad to see it isn't just filler for the remaining 2 eps. Poor Yayoi, big F for her


Hiiragi the damn tsundere

I honestly loved it. I think I'm gonna read the manga too after next episode, but still, that would have been thrilling if there was going to be another live show (pv seems to exclude the possibility). I simply hope there's gonna be more as the manga continues (season 2?)

It seems like all the budget was spent on making the song from the last episode since half of this one had some horrible animations.

Oh yeah lol that one was a pure masterpiece.

Anyway a cute episode with bunch of comedy in it. Sad that it ends next week.

Yes. Next episode will be the last for a lot of show as we wrap up the Fall season unfortuantly. Seeing Uenoyama overreact was hilarious and Mafuyu finally confessed to him.

I want to read the manga too, I just need to find out what chapter the next episode picks up from. I think its going to be a while before this series gets a second season.

The anime has also made me ship Take and Haruki. Sorry Akihiko, you haul around too much baggage for my taste.

THE CONFESSION FINALLY HAPPENED YES SO HYPE FOR NEXT EPISODE although also quite sad that next episode will be the last for this season at least, I really hope they continue it, I'll wait a few years if I have to as long as it's good, the manga is also amazing I'm as up to date as the TOTALLY LEGAL translated scans are but with one of my favourite sites shutting down (F in the chat) I'm not sure where I'll be able to keep up with it (suggestions accepted!) I don't want this show to end however tbh I expected it to end sooner like nearly every episode I was "ok the song will be the season closer" then I was like "ok the confession will be the season closer" and now I think well it's spoilers so I won't say but I'm so happy this show is doing well and I really hope the next season happens soon it deserves all the love it's getting. I've mentioned it in theses forum discussions before but Beck is one of my all time favourite shows and this is basically that but gay and with screaming so like that just adds points. Also I died laughing at that explosion effect and all the reactions are as hilarious as ever NEXT THURSDAY HURRY THE HELL UP

Poor Yayoi, I hope she can find an amazing man who will cherish her. xD And their father finally appeared. lol And still about the girls, but I'm so surprised and happy with those two from their school. The one who studied together with Mafuyu and Yuuki could feel, and understand, if only a bit, his pain and his courage to face it. And the one who liked Uenoyama was the first to urge him to go, and check on Mafuyu as soon as they heard he was sick. It was poignant, and beautiful. Uenoyama's gay panic was so priceless too. xD He was struggling on how to deal with Mafuyu after having kissed him, but he couldn't keep his hands from him, and gently caressed his cheek after staying by his side like Mafuyu asked him to do. It was so cute. And Mafuyu is truly moving on, and already thinking about his next song, and Uenoyama is thinking about how he wants to be his next. Kedama was so precious too, he liked Uenoyama from the start. Here's hoping he will visit his soon-to-be boyfriend a lot so that Mafuyu won't be his only friend. lol

Take-chan is really great too, he didn't even go to sleep before editing their performance, and he soon went to give it to Haruki. Haruki then blushed, making Take-chan blush, and Akihiko appeared turning the scene into a funny one. xD Poor Take-chan was up for it, but Haruki shot him down by telling Akihiko that he misunderstood. lol The nerve of Akihiko though, he got annoyed/jealous, but then he goes home to sit by Ugetsu's side. He needs to get himself together. lol Oh, and I loved how they got their new, and now official band name. And I love how Mafuyu could speak freely to them about Yuuki, without hurting or fearing being judged or anything. And talking about it is another sign that he is healing. He really found a safe haven with those three. And what Yuuki left behind really became his everything. It's thanks to that guitar and to music that he is now connected to Uenoyama, and to a brand new world. And I'm glad his friendship with Hiiragi is restored, Shizu should try and talk more with him too, but who knows, maybe he was always the quiet kind. And I'm kind of glad Hiiragi wasn't alone like Mafuyu. He had Shizu all along, and they seem to have something special going on too.

Well, Mafuyu asked Uenoyama to take him to the sea, to a place he would be seeing for the first time, and there he confessed that he loves him, and unfortunately the episode ended. Can't wait to see Uenoyama's reaction, I bet it's going to be as amazing as the ones in this episode, he will finally know his feelings are reciprocated. xD I can't believe this is already ending.

Mafuyu finally said his feelings for Uenoyama I'm soooooo happy, they're the perfect couple, this is too much for my heart.

It sucks it ending next week, I just pray that this will get a 2nd Season, I mean there is a lot of manga material left for at least a 2nd Season, so all I can do is pray that it will.

In an episode packed with great scenes full of backstory and character development, it's hard to choose a favorite, but Mafuyu talking in the restaurant about the feeling of being onstage, and the guys' quiet reaction to it, was really heartwarming.

Poor Yayoi, Akihiko dumped her, and Uenoyama wrapped up his thoughts about his love to Mafuyu, all within a string of incidental worries and emotions.

It's still funny at how Haruki and Take still harbour the hints of love at each other, much less worse than Akihiko at scene.

OOH Mafuyu's pet dog Kedama is shown another time, it's been long! And so is Uenoyama's selfishness of love for Mafuyu to escalate in the future.

Heh, forming a band name after the change that is Mafuyu being the new member. AND...it's no surprise that their band name is obvious. Otherwise, they would've come up with a quirky name, referencing a band like Gesu no Kiwami Otome, becsuse it really made no sense.

Well, for someone like Hiiragi, releasing the dread that is their past, opens up new possibilities.

Uenoyama and Mafuyu on a date, who would've thought. And a confession!!!

It sucks that next week is the last episode...definitely want more of this!

Didn't imagine the band's name was the title of this anime, Give + the seasons= Given. pretty creative!

I see the band is taking the direction of moving up, can't wait to hear the new song on their next performance.

Wow Mafuyu is aggressive more than I thought. He's not an innocent puppy, he's tiger hunting for his prey, which is Uenoyoma! I dare say he actually want Uenoyoma to do something in his bedroom, 'my mom's not home' what a classic sexual suggestive!

About this episode I want to analyze the length of their.... But I won't do it this time, because someone doesn't want to read it.

We get to know where the name "Given" came from. It was pretty cool how they combined "Give" and "The Seasons" together. Haruki's reaction when Mafuyu explaind the name "Give" was priceless lmaoo. And their new song's name is Winter Story, really fit their former name. Hoping the next song from Mafuyu would be called Summer Story, about how he moved on and fell in love with Ueno.

Another fantastic episode. Both comedy and interactions were on point and seeing Mafuyu being more expressive towards everyone sure made me feel really happy for him.

Uenoyama realising his love for Mafuyu was shifted to this episode. I guess it works since we got to hear the song last episode without much interruptions.

I love Hiiragi. He and Mafuyu have some of the best scenes together.

The band's name was Seasons before because all three members had a kanji related to a season in their names. Now, with mafuyu in the band, they have to change their band name. What? Why? Mafuyu has Fuyu (winter) in his name though!

I was worried that they might add random fillers and push Mafuyu's confession to the next episode. Thank god that didn't happen!

I love the way they executed Ue-sama realizing that he kissed Mafuyu using rewind. Way too funny for me.

Hiragii crying made me realize that he's a big tsundere.

Mafuyu being the one to confess first got me. He's kinda aggressive and straightforward too.

Although it makes sense since Mafuyu is experienced and its actually Uenoyama that is totally clueless, since he is his first love.

Also explosion effect from episode 1 returns!~
I'm getting stressed though since next week is the last episode T^T

That episode was perfect from start to finish....Uecchi & Mafuyu are so amazing for each other. It's so cute the way Uecchi tries to act cool but he's just a bit mess when it comes to Mafuyu!

Hiiragi is such a great guy. I love him just as much as the other characters even though he was introduced later. However, there is something shady about Ugetsu... i feel like he might become something of an antagonist later on.

This episode was great. Ritsu's gay panic is hilarious, he always is on the verge of having a heart attack. That nursing scene made me soft, they are very cute. Finally a couple in a bl anime that is HEALTHY. I am still angry that junjou romantica and sekaiichi hatsukoi have a never score. Anyway, that confession at the end... it was very well done it had the mood and everything but goddamn the cliffhanger.

Also people commented on how everyone is gay but haruki and akihiko are bi. Take-chan is straight too. Anyway, why does it even matter if everyone were to be gay? there are plenty of heterosexual people in every anime. I am so sad that next eoisode is the last, hopefully we get a season 2. Bro, the twitter of the band is real, i already followed it lmao

Well it was obvious but my hunch was right. They're really gonna end the anime with Uenoyama and Mafuyu telling everyone they're a couple. Only 1 episode left. This sucks.

He's pretty punchable even in the manga. Never liked him either and all the shitty drama that happens later in the manga is all because of this asshole.

I mean, pretty much almost all the guys in this anime are gay. I have a feeling Take-chan is totally into our bassist. Mafuyu's 2 other childhood friends seem to have a thing for each other too. Are you talking about the basketball bros? I think they are the only male characters in this show that haven't shown any possibility of being gay.

Just to clarify I'm not complaining, I love this show. Just saying that most of the male characters definitely are gay.

I was talking about the girl in the beginning who saw the live concert (maybe those basketball dudes count as well)

but ye it was just a joke because yuri/yaoi series' for some reason everyone and their mother is gay lol
