| 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. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Oh so that's Given Thar explosion was so hilarious haha xd too bad we probably won't get to see Mafuyu's new song in the final episode. Or at least I highly doubt it |
 “I don’t like expending more effort than I have to.” – Ayanokouji Kiyotaka |
| Enjoyable episode! Uenoyama reaction always hilarious lol only 1 ep again...im gonna miss this show :( Also that ugly explosion xDD |
 |
| That awful explosion effect OMG xD 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. Sad there is just one episode left. This anime sure ended up being quite a pleasant surprise for me this season. |
| 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 |

| Omg I'm melting!! This is too precious!! TˆT |
 |
| the explosion effect is iconic |

phantomfandom said: 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. Please do, I like reading your analysis! |

| 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. |
 |
| That confession at the end was perfect! I can't believe there is only one more episode left. I definitely need more of this anime. I really want a second season! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| A pretty laid back and goofy episode after all the build up and release. Looks like a ship is going to sail. I can see Hiiragi being jealous in the future, but that would likely be season 2 material. |
| "geavens" akihiko's clearly a genius with words. |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| Perfect place to end the episode. I would so love a second season. Looks like we will end the first season with Uenoyama and Mafuyu telling the guys that they are a couple, which is a good place to end the season. I love the manga but the anime is really precious too. |
| The explosion effect was definetly funny af, and the fact that Mafuyu said the same things than Yuki made the last scene a lot more beautifull |
 |
| 21:03 Hear that ship horn? That's the sound of the SHIP SAILING, BOYS AND GIRLS. Even the background sounds in the show are rooting for Ritsuka and Mafuyu to become a couple. My brain cannot physically handle that cliffhanger *twitches and slowly hides in my closet to await next week's final episode* |
| Mafuyu's needness was so cute to resist! He's lucky to have Uenoyama by his side ;) So there's one more episode left? it should have 12 episodes! X( I am not sure how this'll end but I'm looking forward to it. |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| 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. chuuable said: idk but i really dislike ugetsu’s character something about him doesn’t feel right to me nonetheless i really loved this ep! 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. |

Anoo-Domini said: no, they are gay but rather strait (well I don't really know what the definition of gay but in my viewpoint they are gay) chipi1016 said: 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 |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| OH EM GEE! GAY! the confession of Mafuyu was nice! 4/5. |

Just saying that most of the male characters definitely are gay. Take-chan is probably bisexual since he gets a girlfriend later. Mafuyu's childhood friends are totally gay. Yeah, Uenoyama's friends are pretty much the only straight males. |

| last episode to go...I wasn't expecting a confession in the end though |
 |
| Get to see Uenoyama's heart bomb XD |
| This episode was so adorable. I cant wait to see what theyre going to end with. (season 2 please come) Also I had a quick question.. I get that their names are supposed to make up "The Seasons": AKIhiko (Autumn), HARUki (Spring) and Ritsuka having the kanji for summer (Natsu) But MaFUYU?!!?!?! I thought it was going to perfectly fit the four seasons, since he has winter in his name. So why did they end up changing it ?? Stupid side note but just really confused. Also please send shonen-ai recommendations T^T |

| Ah, they changed the "I love him, I kissed him" part. I was looking forward to it and yet. Oh well. Hmm they didn't add the ear-flinching part when Uenoyama had his head placed on his desk even though they did it even better than the manga the last time something like that happened. "oh God, this whole house smells like Mafuyu!" lmao this gay That cheek-poking and Mafuyu's reaction. Them all giving meat to Mafuyu for his honest answer Oh my God Mafuyu outright said dead boyfriend in front of them. What a functional gay Lmao they decided on Given fast, but I see. I expected them to show surprise that even with Mafuyu added, they stay true to their band's name but this works too. I guess. Mafuyu confessed first, I can't stop grinning. Makes sense but I was wondering who will do it first. They are so gay for each other, I love it. |
| Another really nice episode. The interactions between Satou and Uenoyama were so cute and the confession was the sweetest icing on the cake. Looking forward to the finale. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
BitterBones said: This is all I aspire to be.What a functional gay I'm really sad this series will end next episode. I'll probably pick up the manga. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
Yandere_Yuuya said: BitterBones said: This is all I aspire to be.What a functional gay I'm really sad this series will end next episode. I'll probably pick up the manga. Good luck! Yeah, its a really good one esp. for a boy's love/men's love. Ah, I am reading the manga alongside and so far, it has some omakes which aren't in the anime though it has been very faithful and elongated certain scenes too. There are a few minor differences here and there (the two details I noticed in this episode were the most so far I think and even then they were quite similar, just the manga ver. had more impact) so reading the manga is worth it too. I'd recommend it. |
| i'm the only one that doesn't recal hiiragi to be gay from manga o.0 cant he just be avery close friend and being relievied sato is ok to overflow in an end :)) |

The spider is watching |
The movie Doukyuusei is pretty good ! |
| The one who went for 1st base is now shy. Suuuure... Though the ending was key, the comedy bits carrying this episode were were so good. |
 |
| That explosion effect lol I'm glad that Mafuyu finally confessed to Uenoyama. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Hiiragi the cute tsundere friend. Kinda feels like something’s going on between Mafuyu’s childhood bros lol. |
| lmao that confession Mafuyu... I'm literally clapping |
| so tempted to go back to the song and watch it 100 times lol. we get an official confession this this ep too aaaah!! |
