if u didn't notice, mafuyu actually put the three name in this song. ugetsu,kaji, and haruki. that's why ugetsu is able to tell that haruki is the one.
This movie hit hard. Also I wanted to let you know some facts regarding the meaning behind the main character's names: 真冬 Mafuyu = the middle of winter/ midwinter 立夏 Ritsuka = the start of summer 春樹 Haruki = spring/ spring tree 秋彦 Akihiko = wise/ talented autumn boy 雨月 Ugetsu = rainy moon/ a period of weather where the moon can't be seen because of the rain (typically in the autumn season in Japan) 由紀 Yuki = not 100% positive, but the two characters literally mean: reason + narrative/story (in a different kanji, Yuki can also mean "snow" which is associated with Mafuyu's name as well.
I'm really glad when people watch Given ,Its kind of a confession lol but this anime was recommended to me by my crush (she still is) . I remember her showing me the fuyu no hanashi ep and crying telling me to give it a try too. I watched it and I related to Haruki a lot and somehow this show became something very special to me .If I was in Haruki's place and something like this happened with me I'm sure I will too not be able to make myself dislike her, that's how I see it . I am completely fine with people hating Akihiko but then again I think its just something you understand after liking someone for years . In my case I figured it will be better if we stay friends and seeing Haruki be able to get his love feels like I've found mine too . This sounds very weird I do get it but I hope anyone who relates to me will feel better after reading this . Also I've read the manga idk if they will show this in anime or not but it's told there that Kaji liked Haruki since way before any of the drama between them happened ,it was just that his heart was not ready to leave Ugetsu and he was convincing himself he still loves him but Ugetsu knew he could only devote himself to either his music or his bf fully,he had to choose one so he choose music and Akihiko was left there clinging to him not fully understanding why he does not like him anymore when it was just that Ugetsu wished for Aki to leave him as he knew he could not fully respond to his loyalty and just wanted him to hate him and find someone better , Akihiko haters will not like this but just consider this opinion coming from someone who has read the manga around 10 times 😂. I'll just say this shows how complicated human feelings are.
Thank you so much for sharing!! I'm glad this series had a positive impact on you and that you were able to put yourself in the shoes of these characters.
I love it that you also gave Given a chance :) It's a truly great movie and i love the focus on those 2 pairs so much in this. Shed tears of sadness and joy both while watching it.
I loved Akihiko the whole season and when i watched the movie i was so shocked by the "SA" scene... It really hit me since i know what Haruki was feeling in that moment... i/ cant fully forgive Akihiko but i also cant hate him
They recently announced another Given OVA coming at some point in the next year, I think. You probably already have a queue of stuff on reserve already, but along a similar vein, I recommend Yuri on Ice, if you haven't already watched it. They've announced a movie for it, so it would be a good time to hop on that train at some point before it's released. The music is beautiful, the animation is top-notch and it's criminal they haven't announced a season 2. lol
Oh nice, I was hoping for another season, but another OVA is better than nothing, I suppose. I've also heard that Yuri on Ice is really good. Perhaps eventually, I'll be able to watch it on the channel.
I recommend the following series: Yuri on Ice hitorijme my hero Love Stage!! Sasaki and Miyano Gravitation TV "yuri on ice is technically not in the category BL but when you watch it you will get why i put it in there anyway"
If i heard someone telling me "i wanna be a man/woman worthy of your love" i would marry them on the spot
Honestly, that should be the standard from now on.😂

OH MY GOD I´M CRYING
This movie hit hard. Also I wanted to let you know some facts regarding the meaning behind the main character's names:
真冬 Mafuyu = the middle of winter/ midwinter
立夏 Ritsuka = the start of summer
春樹 Haruki = spring/ spring tree
秋彦 Akihiko = wise/ talented autumn boy
雨月 Ugetsu = rainy moon/ a period of weather where the moon can't be seen because of the rain (typically in the autumn season in Japan)
由紀 Yuki = not 100% positive, but the two characters literally mean: reason + narrative/story (in a different kanji, Yuki can also mean "snow" which is associated with Mafuyu's name as well.
Oh wow, thank you for the information. It gives me a better perspective on what the characters represent within the story.
snow (yuki) cannot exist without winter (Mafuyu), but winter can exist without snow.

Kaji was sleeping around with girls only when he needed a place to stay after a fight with the violin dude.
Oh, I see. I just thought he was just trying to take his mind off Ugestu. But that makes sense as well.
I was screaming here 😂 9:50

It was so good, this is what the series needed, and I wasn't disappointed.

They announced the Yuri on ice movie 7 years ago lol

@@coltonbryantYuri on ice is amazing! You should definitely watch it. And the dub is hilarious.
Beautiful movie, im glad you enjoyed it !
Definitely agree, I'm glad I watched it!!
Haruki deserves so much better honestly, I know Akihiko apologized, but I just can not forgive him
That's completely understandable, I probably wouldn't forgive him either, but I can understand why Haruki forgave him as well.
I recommend the following series:
Yuri on Ice
hitorijme my hero
Love Stage!!
Sasaki and Miyano
Gravitation TV
"yuri on ice is technically not in the category BL but when you watch it you will get why i put it in there anyway"
By the way Colton. My name is Charles "Akihiro" I am filipino japanese and I really think you are cute 😊
If you loved this, you must watch Sasaki and Miyano. Your m-ovaries will explode. 🎉🥰🥹
