Review of given

I sometimes speak up to make a commentary but don't give substantial reviews usually. This might include spoilers but heck the plot isn't surprising. Some romance anime are colorful and energetic this one isn't. Damn if it doesn't capture some of the I don't talk or I don't discuss things vibe of actual straight male high schoolers and college age men. This anime is multiple episodes of small barely articulate moments. Of course the plot at times wrings out some articulateness but usually under pressure as outbursts. You could call that colorful but it isn't the toying with things some anime do. This storyis not kidding around. This comes off as real. You could argue how real can it be when statistically four guys team up to make a band and all four of them are living out serious gay dramas. The odds wouldn't garantee one character was gay and he'd probably be living a boring non drama existence. So, gay romance storytelling aside the whole plot could've fit in maybe two episodes if you wanted to instead we live their moment by moment existence for a whole series. That's not boring it's compelling. Honestly I sort of got fatigued by the continous angst and gay panic so I was almost glad to see the series over. But now that it is over when I stumble over clips of the series on you tube and watch , the character's whole story comes back to me and I'm hit by the emotions. Am I saying watch this? Depends if you want to feel for other people's lives like that. It's easy to say it's just a story there's nobody's life here. But it doesn't feel like that. Or am I just easy? :-)
