Arashi no yoru ni

This, now, is by far, my favourite movie.

I originally found it on TvTropes looking for a gay romance, hopefully in the Anime category. This seemed to fit, although whether it is a romance or a friendship is somewhat ambiguous. However, considering that "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" signifies love in Japanese literature, combines with the amount Mei and Gabu talk about the moon, and all of the giggling and blushing when they meet, I do not think considering it a romance is far fetched at all. Anyway, I decided to watch it, expecting it to be good. Surprisingly, it was on YouTube, which was a nice benefit itself!

This movie was not just good though, but probably my favourite movie of all time! I usually don't cry during movies, but this one caused me to cry approximately four times. The emotional cycle is crazy! This film is amazing, and heart breaking, and heart warming, and just plain beautiful! The animation is beautiful too; character design is great, the landscapes are beautiful, and especially when the lightening scares Mei and Gabu, it is very expressive.

This was such a good movie, that I just had to write a long review on it, as I just couldn't get the sheer quality out of my head! That's how good this movie was in my opinion! If you haven't watched it, please do! I have not seen a better film in my entire life, and have barely even seen any comparable ones! This film, quite simply, is amazing!

This movie can be considered a piece of art, not thanks to the outstanding background renderings or the beautiful voice acting, but for all the different messages that you may get from it. I really believe this movie will at least touch you with something.

I think kids might enjoy this one but I sincerely believe they won't be able to get as much as an adult would be able to; so yes, this is an animated movie but that doesn't mean it's only meant to be watched by kids.

It's a definite "must watch" for those who like movies that contain deep messages rather than those which are only shown in the shallow area of the images. Really one of the best and very worthy animated films I have watched.

It's one of those films that must be watched without having any idea of what the main theme is, just let the things unfold before your eyes and let the environment and atmosphere of the scenes get to you. Otherwise you won't enjoy it as much as the whole team who participated on the creation wants you to enjoy it, for your mind would be already expecting things, resulting in a lack of suspense.

"One Stormy Night" is one of my favorite anime movies. At first, this could look as a rip-off of "The Fox and the Hound" (Also a good movie) being a story of how two natural enemies became friends, but this movie manages not only to be different, but also to be good as well, telling a beautiful and heartwarming story, with very likable characters. The animation is beautiful, all the movements are very fluid, and the backgrounds have the level of detail of one movie from Studio Ghibli. I know that friendship is one of the main themes of many Japanese animations, but not many are so tender as this movie. "One Stormy Night" have many emotional and dramatic parts, but combines this with humor and optimism, something that made this movie very enjoyable. I recommend this movie to all the animation fans, not only the anime fans. It is a funny and well made animated tale that deserves more appreciation.

Arashi no Yoru Ni is a wonderful tale. It's well written, beautiful animation that I haven't seen since Akira, great voice talents, a nice ending, and it was kid friendly without being cheesy.

Admitedly the odds of a wolf and a goat being friends are practically zero, but after seeing a lioness take care of a gazelle there's really nothing to far-fetched about it. The friendship between Gabu and Mei was a strong bond that was able to get them through even life threatening situations throughout the film. I will grant, many anime tend to show a bond of friendship being close to that of guy love, and Arashi no Yoru Ni isn't an exception, but it's easy to look past that. I actually got a tear in my eye when I though Gabu had died.

What stunned me most was the animation. The colors in the film were vibrant, the shadows and highlights were smooth and easy moving without seeming like paint, and the backgrounds looked as if they had been drawn by Da Vinci himself.

If you want a good story that is fairly kid friendly without being cheesy, wonderful animation and some lovable characters, Arashi no Yoru Ni is right for you.

This movie is unbelievably charming and cute.

It's about the friendship between a wolf and a little goat. The wolf defends the little goat from his wolf friends.... and you can really believe they love one another!

But the movie does deal with more adult themes too. It keeps you caring about what happens to the characters throughout.

The production values are quite good and the characters themselves have quite a wide range of expressions. The designs for the wolves don't look like typical anime designs. And the plot is less convoluted than most anime. I wouldn't show it to the youngest children as there is some mild violence and threat. I think it'd be rated PG.

But anyway You have to see it!
