Given was undoubtedly an anime full of surprises. I found it interesting the Uke (Mafuyu) is apathetic and not ashamed to say what he feels and Seme (Uenoyama) be more inexperienced in relationships than he is. The soundtrack was also excellent... the episode in which the band performed was simply AMAZING! I could feel all the pain that Mafuyu put into his music. However, I noticed some forced comic scenes, some unnecessary episodes for plot development (could better explain Mafuyu's childhood), and what bothered me most is that virtually all characters are gay. This is a criticism that I have been making for a long time; It seems that in the genre Yaoi, there are only gay men. And in Shoujos, Ecchi and Shounen, just heteros. I think it would be interesting to mix these two worlds into just one anime. It would be less forced, closer to our reality and much more fun. Anyway, despite these controversies, Given was good to watch.
