# Where to Watch Given the Movie

**Given the Movie streams on Crunchyroll, the same home as the TV series it continues. It's a quieter, more grown-up chapter of anime's best band drama — shifting the spotlight from the kids to the adults whose feelings never quite resolved.**

## Where to Watch

- [Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com/given)

Crunchyroll is the legal streaming home for Given the Movie. Handy, since the Given TV series lives there too — you can watch the whole story in one place.

## Synopsis

While the band keeps moving forward, the film turns to its rhythm section: bassist Haruki, drummer Akihiko, and Ugetsu, the brilliant violinist Akihiko never fully left behind. It's a story about the messy overlap of love, resentment, and shared history — how you can admire someone, envy them, and hurt them all in the same breath. Told with the series' signature restraint, it trades big dramatic swings for small, devastating honesty, with music once again doing the talking when words fail.
