Gay band anime
Content & Spoiler Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for each series as well as brief mentions of suicide, child violence, death, and grief.
Recently, I was in the mood for something musical and decided to rewatch the anime series Given, or as I personally contact it “the gay rock band anime.” You spot, not only am I a queer anime fan, but I’m also a huge music fan. I love rock, jazz, and occasionally listen to hip-hop, R&B, and classical harmony when I am in the mood.
Over the years, there have been more and more music comparable anime that have allowed me to appreciate a certain music genre more. Nowadays, there’s a roomy range of anime focused on any and all topics, including coming of age in a rock band, hip-hop and breakdancing samurai, and a love affair between a pianist and a violinist. For tune fans who are brand-new to anime, certain series and films can be the gateway to getting into anime as a wider medium. No matter what type of song you like, there is an anime series for you; I’ll explain further as I break down music anime by genre.

Carole and Tuesday was the first music related anime that I had gotten invested in most of the genre. Given was the second anime that had me fall in value with the genre as a whole. Ive watched this endorse in before the COVID pandemic had hit and now over five years later, as there have been movies including a recent one that Id never knew existed, I decided to give this a re-watch as I was due for one.

This was wholesome and comfortable whether youre into boy love or not.
