Introduction
When a sudden thunderstorm strikes, Mei, a young goat, has no choice but to take shelter in an abandoned barn. Before long, he is joined by another animal—a wolf named Gabu. The night is pitch black, and neither of them can make out the other's appearance, but they become fast friends as they chat for hours, promising to meet again.
As soon as Mei and Gabu reunite in daylight, they are met with a predicament: they would normally regard each other as mere predator and prey. However, they vow to remain friends nonetheless and start meeting in secret. While their friendship deepens, their families find out about it, forcing both Mei and Gabu to wonder if their relationship is truly worth the risk.

I have been looking for this anime for a very long time, well to be honest it was in a k drama called "Master's Sun" that talk about it but i seriously didn't know the name of the book or anime name all that i know was the sheep and wolf was friends. I seriously just found it although this movie is old I love everything about it. In all honesty this was perfect it's a 10 out of 10 because everything was awesomely done and made.This is seriously a golden anime film😚😊🙂🤗. This movie was way too good to watch, the friendship between the sheep and wolf was very beautiful. I give my respect to the creators,animation crews and the author because this was by far an epic movie to watch, like hats off to you guys it was an epic piece that you guys created.

I suppose if I were to compare Stormy Night to a movie, it would be Disney's The Fox and the Hound. Both films focus on two animals who become close friends with one another despite both supposed to be natural enemies to one another and the pathos to both involving the animals in question coming to grips with the roles that both their societies have aligned to them, Stormy Night's case being Mei the goat being prey for the predator, Gabu the wolf.
For a two-hour movie, Stormy Night has enough time to delve into both Mei and Gabu's characters, as well as explore their developments. In spite of both having different natural roles as animals, the two establish a bond with one another and relate to their differing circumstances with Gabu being an outcast among his pack and Mei feeling a void…

Arashi no Yoru ni was originally a children's story written by Kimura Yuichi. It won several rewards and was turned into a series of books, an anime film and a TV series. Let's take a look at the film from Group TAC. You might wonder why I'm looking at a kid's movie. Well, I don't review this type of anime often since most of my requests are geared towards adults or older teenagers and I just feel like doing it for a change of pace. Besides, I needed something short to review before Monster.
The story is pretty basic. What, you wanted more from a kid's movie? On a stormy night a goat named Mei takes shelter in an abandoned... house... shed... barn... porno theatre? It's not really clear since the screen is really dark. The important thing is that, while he's there a wolf, Gabu, walks in.…

As pretty much everything on this page says, the story is pretty much a story of friendship between a sheep and a wolf. Before you decide to leave this anime without any intention to watch it, consider this... (aka my opinion):
Note: This is probably for people who like VERY long reviews.
Story: 8/10
To be honest, having watched it, I find it a somewhat odd but clever movie. As an older person watching it, I find myself thinking of the philosophical implications of the relationship sometimes yet if I was a child, this would simply be a cute cartoon about the trials and tribulations of star-crossed... friends, I suppose. The pacing is what makes me feel odd however. Sometimes, it's feels a little too slow and at others, much too rushed. The timescale of their friendship have also been re…

Is friendship between a wolf and a goat accepted?
It was a stormy night, when Mei hidden in a small warehouse, and met Gabu, the wolf. They were planning a "date" for the next day with each other, and then they realised who, or what is the other animal.They became very close friends even they family didn't accepted their relationship. Weeks later, they ran away together, believing that there's a place where they can be true friends, just the two of them, together, forever.
This movie was the most heart-touching anime I have ever seen, all about friendship, perfidy, love, sorrow and insistence.

Oh hey look! A great movie that's not coming from that well known handful of producers who know what they're doing!
Truly, for something that is clearly a children's film, it is quite capable of drawing a heartthrob from basically anyone watching it. While not exactly action oriented, you'd be surprised at the scenes the movie dares to throw at its young viewers.
Well-done mix of a traditional and CGI animation.
Another strong point would be its characters, since we can find a surprisingly sad backstory or two. The relationship between Mei and Gabu is amazing for the reason it has good firm grounds to turn into the most valuable friendship, even with their differences as species.
An adventure with strong slice of life tone, which is for obvious reasons hard as fuck to pull off properly…

Arashi no Yoru ni is a tale of friendship between a goat and a wolf. The anime won Japan Academy Award in 2005. Although it appears like a kids’ stuff, it touches mature themes and faces the fundamental flaw in the main heroes’ friendship, namely, the fact that one is predator and the other prey.
The plot is simple and straightforward. In a stormy night Gobu (wolf) and Mei (goat) find shelter in a barn. They cannot see or smell each other. They pass time in talking and become friends. They decide to meet another time, and soon find out the unfortunate truth. Yet they decide to continue their friendship. They develop such a strong bond that when facing starvation, Gobu refuses to eat his friend.
At first glance the anime looks like for kids: the plot is like a fairy tale. There is nothin…

A cute and lovely story conveyed by gorgeous art. One can't ask for a better thing to watch on a Sunday afternoon.
This is a children's movie, surrounded by an aura of good feelings and easy humour. But everyone needs good feelings and easy humour once in a while! The story is simple, as well as the objective: a wolf and a sheep are friends and, no matter the differences, they will fight for their friendship till the end.
This story is pampered by beautiful art. One of the better I have ever seen. In a digital-traditional mix sometimes you're not sure what is watercolour and what is tridimensional animation, which results in a very pleasant experience to the eyes. The beauty of the art helps to characterise the personalities of our characters. The sweet, round and fluffy lambs (which act…

Arashi no Yuru Ni. Please do not watch this unless you realize straight away that this is a Japanese Disney movie. The art, the message, the entire feel of this "anime" is that of a Disney cartoon, but in a good way.
Story: the moral of this story is "don't judge a book by it's cover" or something to that effect. Learning how to get along, no matter who you are is deeply conveyed in this. It's nicely done. The goat and wolf meet each other at night, they can't see each other but they end up having a really nice talk and agree to meet the next day. When they meet the next day the one thing that was going through my head was "HE'S GOING TO EAT THE SHEEP!" but that didn't happen. Their freindship ends up deepening quite a bit and the rest of the anime follows their experiences. Prepare yours…
