Given Watch Order
6 entries · · community-maintained
The Given watch order is quick: the 11-episode first season followed by the Given movie. Start with Episodes 1-11, which cover the band's forming and the central relationship, then watch the film, which continues the story with a focus on the older bandmates. Since there are no OVAs or specials to interrupt it, the correct order is simply the season and then the movie in release order. If you're wondering where to start, Episode 1 is the entry point, and the film is meant to be seen after the series rather than before. That makes Given one of the more straightforward romances to watch chronologically — no side stories to track down, just the season followed by its continuation. Watch the show first so the movie's emotional payoff lands the way it's intended, and you'll have the complete story.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.
