Given

This should be the fujo highlight of the season, I expect active threads

The PV looked really good, is the story actually nice? All the BL they adapt is mostly shit.

I think it's a bit overdramatic and it suffers from the "everyone and their moms are gay" but it's still a really nice read and the art is great.

I hate when they do this shit. Same goes for manga where every single character is straight, I think some balance is important.

Why is Crunchy so silent? They haven't updated their summer gets.

crunchyroll.com/given
I guess they have lazy new staff or something like that.

Which is the main pairing here?

They didn't even mention the airing time. So lazy.

Red hair and black hair

There’s any love triangle bullshit?

No, but I haven't read all the chapters so I don't know what happens later in the story

How much retarded drama is in this?

GAY-ON!

It's the same time when Sarazanmai was released last season on their news.

There is a triangle, kinda, in the latter part of the story.
I don't think the triangle in this story is the stupid type tho.

We need a token straight slut who gets all the bitches.

No. but there's a dead ex-boyfriend

I remember those.

Dropped

KEK

somewhat. one dude cant get over a love that has gone to shit and the other longs until the dam breaks for both of them. its not exactly a triangle, since theres no actual competition, but i guess it counts.

This one has decent source material at least.

It's not exactly retarted but the drama between the main couple did get kind of annoying for me at certain points. The secondary couple was my favorite so I'm already bitter that there won't be enough time to get to their own drama.

The sister is the token straight.

The first couple is very cute and sweet. Boys in love are nice. The second couple is some Kuzu no Honkai shit.

>BL story
Dropped

Don't say that. Kuzu no Honkai is fucking awful. If anything, they reminded me of Nana.

She should have joined the band.

Its a boy band. There aren't any girls allowed.

It implies there's one straight boy somewhere who's fucking her, good

I like Ugetsu and Akihiko more than Akihiko and Haruki.

There's a bi boy fucking her alright.

One of the bandmembers regularly fucks chicks. He just only loves boys.

Is Ugetsu the violin guy or the sister? I forgot.

Attached: mokou4.jpg (336x422, 29K)

What did she mean by this?

The violin guy.

He gets into casual relationships with chicks on the regular but he's only emotionally involved on a destructive side relationship with some other guy that's been going on for a while.

That's gayer than gay.

its implied that Akihiko has a lot of sex with women (for money) but he only loves his roommate/ex bf who dumped him

It was never implied he dated the protag's sister for money though. I think he's legit bi, but he's also a BL character so he can never love a woman.

when you need the cash a chick can be useful

It's starting right now, right?

its hard to tell because he doesnt seem to be a formal prostitute. He fucks women and they let him stay at their place and give him shit. Hes kinda like a sugar baby? He is probably bi though just judging by the pep talk he gave Ritsuka.

i think so, saw some 10m announcement in twitter

My favorite thing about this drama is that MC is such a dumb boy that he has no idea any of this is happening.

So I guess the stream is no good today. Alright.

That ED theme sure was bland. I hope the OP grows on me.

It was an okay first episode

Like Someone In Love.

Manga reader here, give me the quick rundown - was it horribly done or basically okay?

That there are female characters.

It was pretty by the numbers until a really weird effect at the end that made it look like a Youtube Poop.

Okay. I'll give it the 3 eps rules because I don't know if it's for me.

Effect? Why do you need effects?

How sexist.

I have a bit too much in common with the MC.

I have no idea but it was super weird, it made me think it was the stream player for a second. But I guess it was quick.

It's turn out fine.
I had a little problem with the guitar solo scene (I think it could be a bit shorter but it's not bad or anything) and a little awkward with the mind blown scene (the end of chapter two in manga).
Besides those, everything checks out.

I love anime Mafuyu's voice. I like this VA (Yano Shougo) than the drama CD VA (Saito Souma), not that I hate Saito or anything.

Well thats relief. I wasn't expecting anything amazing from the production side- all I care about from that perspective is whether the live is good.

the manga itself starts slowly so i'm not waiting for some mindblowing episode

if its alright then i will watch

Trending #4 in Japan. Not bad for a first episode but doubt it'll be more popular than dakaichi.

The mindblowing episode should be 6 or 7.

Don't remind me.

i am waiting for the episode where mafuyu sings, now thats what i believe it will be terribly powerful, at least if they do it as the manga

Why do fujos have such terrible taste?

You act like male otaku are so much better, are you forgetting what's the biggest trend among otaku right now?

Fuck you guys the OP is great.

What is it?

The ED is super cute as well. Its the piano version of their first live I think?

The first time he sing should be next episode.
The first live episode should be about ep 5 or 6.
I hope his VA could sing properly

Isekai

oh, yeah, but i mean, you know what scene i mean, the groups first song

and yes, i hope so too, i also hope the song fits the mood.

Ah, I thought you meant a specific series. Isekai will be replaced by some other genre sooner or later. But it's true fujos have weird tastes. Given seems to be qualitatively better than Dakaichi.

theres actually not too much for fujos to choose on anime though, and well, sex sells, no matter how badly/weirdly its done

Given being (realitively) sexless did probably hurt the manga popularity but it seems fujos will support any BL anime nowadays.

>it seems fujos will support any BL anime nowadays.
It's hard to tell when Ensemble Stars anime is airing this season.

Given obviously won't be as big as that. (That was trending worldwide instead of just in japan) It already seems to be getting a lot of attention and support from nip fujos though.

its mostly a "giving support so then they get more bl anime on air". its not a bad thing to give support when theres so little anime (meaning here real BL content not just pandering) for fujos right now

I do agree with them there honestly. I mean its thanks to the fujo support of things like BF that this and Blue Lynx exist. Its not a coincidence that the channel with a huge fujo show is making a BL label or that the studio with a huge fujo show (MAPPA) had a BL studio split off.

>Isekai will be replaced by some other genre sooner or later
Keep on hoping.

My heart broke in two when he cut his hair. I hope he grows it again.

Wonder if the adaptation will get that far. They did 2 chapters in this episode and ending on chapter 20 seems like a really bad place. (Honestly 11 could take a whole episode)

I don't think so, we're right in the middle of that arc right now. Unless they already plan to make a second season, I find it unlikely.

They can't end at the first live and they won't get to the second. Wonder where they'll end up.

That arc is actually over. Translations haven't caught up yet. The next arc is just beginning.

>It's stuck deep inside me and I can't get it out of my head
>Mafuyu's voice is an insane and dangerous weapon
Who came up with this brilliant tagline?

What, really? Holy fuck, I'm really curious now. But I don't think there's enough time for the show to cover both on 11 episodes.

The first one is good and makes sense given Mafuyus history. The second is weird.

The official tagline next to the title is "Can't say goodbye. I'm still drifting with your echos" which is good and makes me sad.

Yeah you can find the raws pretty easily if you want. I think they are on 28? I can't remember.

The more you all say it's good the less I can expect it to be okay, I can't trust nu/a/. Long running BL are always shittier and the design reminds me of Dramatical Murder without it being fun. I just want more bait SOL

Jesus fuck was this ever boring.

The designs are haikyuu designs because the mangaka is Gusari you uncultured fujo.

that is ok, old Yea Forums always had shit taste

>I just want more bait SOL
Then wait until next season for the shota snoozefest or something.

>The official tagline next to the title is "Can't say goodbye. I'm still drifting with your echos"
That's a lot more evocative. I would check it out just based on that.

>Long running BL are always shittie
God forbid something be fleshed out instead of a generic 1-volume squib that rushes through sex, breakup and reconciliation in 5 chapters amirite? Complain about it being long when it reaches like 10 volumes not fucking five

I'm not sure where you got the other ones (machine translated summaries?) but thats the one in the OP and in the official website.

Those are the first two lines of the synopsis on MAL and Anichart. They sure sound machine translated.

>Can't say goodbye. I'm still drifting with your echos

I just realized that this not only applies to Mafuyu but also to Akihiko.

This honestly. I feel like these days whenever I read a good BL they're either 2-3 volumes or I inevitably feel like they should be longer.

Single volume BL is only good for porn.

Why is CR taking so long?

When is it supposed to be up?

Now that I've watched the first episode, comparing it with the manga it looks pretty alright. The first episodes are really slow, and keep the lightheartedness aura they want to sell until we delve into Mafuyu's life. Personally, Haruki and Uenoyama voices are my favourites here.

Some info about the composer:
>Michiru is a music composer and producer based in Tokyo.
>She graduated at the top of her class, and her first orchestral work “Music for orchestra” was performed in 2004. She proceeded to continue her studies by entering the Graduate School of the University. In 2005, one of her works “Six Turkish Folk Music” was performed by “Ensemble NOMAD” , a foremost authority of contemporary music in Japan. In 2006,she took her master’s degree in composition.
>After she become a mother in 2011,She composed the music for the Studio Ghibli’s short animation “Takarasagashi“, it’s showing the Ghibli Museum Mitaka.

Dang, why did they replace him?

Hes way more observant than Uenoyama though. Uenoyama is the definition of a dumb boy.

That's who the fujos use to self insert into the story.

>fujos
>self inserting

You're thinking of yumejoshi, though that would be pointless even for them in a BL where females are barely even side characters. It's simply a "I enjoy looking at hot males only" thing for fujoshi, but if anything it seems self-inserting as the tachi is popular.

There's two sex "scenes" iirc. I put that under parenthesis because they're both very botchered and neither of them was supposed to be particularly arousing.

Its possible that it was because he knew he liked him and it was his way to tease him

where there's smoke...they pinch back

The show is not for you and it was never “advertised” as so. If you had actually taken a couple of minutes out of your life to check out the original source then you would find out the sole focus of the story ISN’T on the musical aspects. It’s a dramatic romance written for young women. I’m gonna take a wild guess and assume you’ve watched more than 20 anime. Has every single renowned show you’ve watched been 100% accurate down to the millimeter on the menial details of the various props the show focused on?
You should stop being so cynical user, also chill with the buzzwords

But why do that when he knows Haruki likes him and when he has Ugetsu as his priority? Why give him hope? Did he simply not realize he was acting flirty as hell?

Fuck off, purityfujo. Go watch some bait SOL.

When does the band break up because of drug problems?

Well, I don't believe he ever thought on Haruki's feelings outside of them existing

It was pretty much a rape scene. Didn't Akihiko give him a blowjob? It was dubcon at best.
