One Stormy Night (Arashi no Yoru ni) is a 2005 Japanese animated film based on a 1994 book about the deeply romantic friendship (or relationship, depending on whom you ask) between a goat named Mei and a wolf named Gabu. It starts one stormy night when Mei and Gabu, both separated from their companions and terrified of lightning, happen to take shelter in the same barn. There in the dark where they can't see each other's species, they strike up a conversation and learn they have a lot in common. They promise to meet each other again at the same place, and say "one stormy night" as their secret phrase. Imagine their surprise the next day when they discover the truth! Mei and Gabu like each other so much already that they decide to put aside predator and prey in order to be secret friends. However, it's only a matter of time before their respective groups find out they've been fraternizing with the enemy, and brand them as traitors. Will these two be able to find a way to stay together?God help you if you confuse this with Higurashi no Naku Koro ni or Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni.Compare The Fox and the Hound and Night on the Galactic Railroad. Contrast Ringing Bell, a Darker and Edgier anime also exploring the relationship between a wolf and an ovicaprid. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| One Stormy Night / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The only brief time we see Mei getting mad is when he wakes up to Gabu sneaking back after having eaten some mice, to which Mei accuses him of doing it "every time when I sleep", and they have a small argument. The scene is reminiscent of a wife scolding her husband for eating midnight snacks or drinking behind her back. As they're preparing to leave the secret cave Gabu hides them both in during the wolf attack, the pair's conversation turns to the full moon and how much they simply enjoy being with each other. It gets quite emotional, and the camera pans away as they decide to skip going home and just spend the night in the cave together. They don't get back to their respective homes until late the next day. The whole thing almost has a Did They or Didn't They? feel to it. And then there's the whole scene of Gabu getting distracted by Mei's butt while they walk to their picnic. While it's ostensibly just a matter of Gabu finding Mei particularly tasty-looking from that angle, the prevalent Unresolved Sexual Tension in the film makes it seem almost like Gabu is getting Distracted by the Sexy. | |

Mistaken Identity: When Mei and Gabu first meet in the old barn, they can neither see each other nor smell each other, but they can talk to each other, and they become friends there. Only later does Mei realize that Gabu is a wolf (not another goat) and Gabu realizes that Mei is a goat (not another wolf). By this time, they have decided to be friends and they stay true to it. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| One Stormy Night / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Mei's perfect faith and devotion to Gabu is never strongly challenged until near the end, when he is reunited with Gabu only to find out that Gabu had a Tap on the Head and has Identity Amnesia and cannot remember anything that happened, and that goat meat is and has always been Gabu's absolute favorite food. Mei has his only real loss of composure in his horror that the one he loves has forgotten him and wants to eat him as an indifferent stranger. But Gabu's memory is quickly jogged when Mei cries about the one stormy night together when they first met — their "Arashi no Yoru ni". | |

Unresolved Sexual Tension: Played With. Whether Played Straight or a Ship Tease, scenes were intentionally arranged to appear like this. In particular, the scene where Gabu stares at Mei's rump while they're walking was based on the Marilyn Monroe walk, making it appear that Gabu was having a Male Gaze moment. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Subverted twice. When Mei and Gabu are on their Death Mountain and slowly starving to death, Mei offers himself to be eaten by Gabu so that Gabu may live. Gabu, rejecting this, goes out to dig for grass to feed Mei, but confronts his wolf pack and decides Mei may be worth dying for, and attacks them. Gabu survives the fight and an avalanche, albeit with amnesia. | |

One Dialogue, Two Conversations: Mei and Gabu's first interaction and blossoming friendship is built on such a conversation. When the two of them are in the dark barn that stormy night, each is under the impression they're speaking to their own kin. When Mei brings up he lives in the valley of sheep, Gabu comments on how he probably has plenty to eat there. Both are agreed it's a place of bountiful food, but the thunder drowns them out before they can say out loud what their respective idea of food is. | |

Ambiguous Time Period | |
| One Stormy Night / int_7eb2bc15 | comment |
Ambiguous Time Period: We never see any other evidence of humans besides the abandoned barn that Mei and Gabu initially meet in, the lack of humans makes it unclear if the story takes place in the past, present, or perhaps the future in some Post-apocalyptic setting where humans are extinct. | |

Furry Reminder | |
| One Stormy Night / int_a1d3ebd7 | comment |
Furry Reminder: While the goats are guilty of it as well, the wolves especially have a lot of humanlike behaviour, such as occasionally walking around on two legs, somehow making complex things such as a 'lid' on the hole they throw Gabu in, one wolf is wearing an eyepatch, and they have long and serious discussions. Come the climax of the film, Gabu decides to fight them all to which the following battle turns them all into fully animalistic, vicious wolves; growling, barking, drooling and tearing at each other. | |

What You Are in the Dark | |
| One Stormy Night / int_afc6df04 | comment |
What You Are in the Dark: During the climax of the movie when Mei and Gabu are trapped in a blizzard and set to starve to death, Mei relents that while he'd never want to get eaten if given the choice, he'll let Gabu eat him so at least one of them can survive. At this point Gabu is completely isolated from anyone who might influence his decision on what to do, and can't even hide that fact that his instincts would have him eat Mei, but even after promising to Mei that he'll do so, he doesn't. He'd rather freeze to death looking for food for both of them than eat Mei, even with no strings attached whatsoever. | |

Did They or Didn't They? | |
| One Stormy Night / int_bda2a088 | comment |
As they're preparing to leave the secret cave Gabu hides them both in during the wolf attack, the pair's conversation turns to the full moon and how much they simply enjoy being with each other. It gets quite emotional, and the camera pans away as they decide to skip going home and just spend the night in the cave together. They don't get back to their respective homes until late the next day. The whole thing almost has a Did They or Didn't They? feel to it. | |

Yakuza | |

Yakuza: Gabu's pack has several shades of it, both in mannerism (the trilled R's typical of Japanese Delinquents, Giro's behavior) and looks (Giro's scar, Barry's red hair resembling Delinquent Hair). Heck, Giro's original voice actor, Riki Takeuchi, is famous in Japan for his several roles in Yakuza movies! | |
