Review of given

Given: I enjoyed it. *DISCLAIMER: This is my first BL.* Story: 7 - I'm not going to complain and cry, "Wahhhh, this series isn't super plot invested!" However, if that is you or something you typically want, you may want to steer clear of this. The story summarized: music boys fall in love (with each other). That's it. Art: 7 - Not garbage but not groundbreaking. If you ask someone why they watched this show, there's probably no one out there who said that the animation made them watch it. Sound: 7 - Ticking points off because I was expecting more music for a music anime. Sure, it wasonly 11 eps, but I feel kind of dissatisfied with what we got. Not enough for me to bomb the score, though.

Character: 8 - I think that the character interactions were portrayed well, and that the romantic aspects were well written. Other than that, there's not much to say.

Enjoyment: 9 - This is one of those "fun-while-it-lasts" shows. I had to force myself to watch maybe 5 minutes of it (because I knew what happened), but apart from that, it was great while it lasted.

Overall: 7 - Good anime, and I might come back later to bump the score up. This is a great choice for a first anime as it is not trash but will not set super high expectations.
