Given

Given (映画 ギヴン, 2020) — watch online on iFILM — is a Japanese animated drama from studio Lerche and Aniplex, directed by Hikaru Yamaguchi. The film picks up where the Given anime series left off, this time following drummer Akihiko Kaji and the people closest to him.

Haruki has carried feelings for Akihiko in silence for years. Akihiko, meanwhile, is still bound up with his roommate — violinist Ugetsu Murata, voiced by Shintaro Asanuma. Takuya Eguchi and Masatomo Nakazawa round out the central trio. At 60 minutes, the film covers a single summer: the moment when this tangled three-way tension finally shifts.
