Review of given

Really enjoyed this show! I liked how it dealt with heavy thematic elements such as grief and heartbreak while still keeping it uplifting. Also, how this show revolved a lot around acceptance after a traumatic event/loss of a loved one, and how one can move forward with their lives in my opinion added a lot of depth to the show and characters. I also really loved the blossoming romance that forms throughout the show between basically all the characters. I wasn't expecting this anime to be a romance when I started it, but I really enjoyed how they went about that element of the show.So I'm just going to say I was pleasantly surprised and by the end was rooting for their romance. I also really enjoyed the musical element of the show. The guitar playing was well done as well as the singing - I will be adding the opening theme song to my playlist :). The character's development throughout the show was also really well done. They did a good job of giving background to the characters as well as making them really likable. The characters had buried emotions and internal & external conflicts which gave them a good layer of depth. I loved Sato and Ritsuka's emotional development; as well as watching their relationship form and change through the show. Overall this show is a 10/10 and I highly recommend watching this. It is also pretty short at 11 episodes, but they do a good job of fitting all the story-line in the episodes. So it's great for anyone who wants to watch something short, but really well done & enjoyable. I am going to watch the movie next, and I am very excited to see where they take the characters and the story-line after the show.
