See also [[Interspecies Friendship]]. Compare [[Interspecies Romance]] and [[Magical Girlfriend]], if relation with X is romantic and [[Attack Animal]] for less innocent partnerships.
 
{{examples|Examples}}
 
== Anime & Manga ==
Line 30:
* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'': A (Total Loser) Boy and His Insanely Powerful and Intelligent Ex-Hitman Home Tutor... Who Happens to Look Like a One-Year-Old.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': A Boy and His [[Humongous Mecha|Giant Robot]]/{{spoiler|Mother}}.
* ''[[BtB't X (Anime)|Bt X]]'': A boy and his mechanical Kirin...[[A Worldwide Punomenon|named X]]
* ''[[Potemayo]]'': A Boy and His Over-Possessive [[Moe Moe|Moe-Blob]] That He Found in His Fridge. Seriously.
* ''Magic Ban Removal!! Hyde and Closer'': A Boy and His Magical, Talking, Texas Chainsaw-Wielding Teddy Bear.
Line 43:
** [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Or is it A Duck and Her Boy?]]
* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'': A Girl and Her [[Our Demons Are Different|Demon]].
* ''[[Sonic X]]'' became [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad|A Boy and His Anthropomorphic Gang]], especially for the first season.
* ''[[Naru Taru]]'': A Girl and Her Cute, Cuddly Dragon. [[It Got Worse|It gets worse]].
** Similar note: ''[[Bokurano]]''. 14 kids and their [[Humongous Mecha]]. Does [[It Got Worse|it get worse]]? [[Up to Eleven|Yes]].
Line 51:
* ''[[Shaman King]]'': A Boy and His Six-Hundred-Year-Old Samurai Spirit.
* The ADV advertisements for ''[[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (Anime)|All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku]]'' described it as "the heartwarming story of a boy and his cat... and a major military equipment manufacturer."
* ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'': A Boy and His Witch. Lelouch himself says that he feels this way late in the series when C.C. asks if he regrets their meeting and the [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|dark path]] he's taken as a result.
* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'': A girl and her ferret in the first series; A girl and her Wolkenritter in the second. Lolis and their badass combat powers in both.
** More like "[[Person of Mass Destruction|A girl and her world-destroying boom stick]]"
Line 124:
* ''Casper: A Spirited Beginning'': A boy and his ghost.
* ''[[Air Bud]]'' series: A boy and his dog... that plays basketball, football, soccer, baseball, and volleyball.
* ''Born to be Wild'': [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys|A boy and his gorilla]].
* ''[[Mighty Joe Young]]'' has a girl and her (giant) gorilla.
* ''The Invisible Boy''. A boy and his playmate, a robot (Robby the Robot).
Line 176:
* ''[[Faust]]'': An old man and his (literal) demons.
* [[Edgar Pangborn]], "Tiger Boy". The [[Walking the Earth|wandering]] youth seems kind and gentle but lets his tiger perform euthanasia on the old and sick. This leads to a tragic ending.
* ''[[His Dark Materials]]'' has elements of "A Girl and her [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|killer sentient metalworking badass]] [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Bears|polar bear]]" to it, but as people are born with part of their soul external in the form of an animal-shaped daemon, it also has this as the basis for most of their entire society.
* Charles Stross: ''[http://www.antipope.org/charlie/fiction/boy3.html A Boy and his God]''
* Marguerite Henry's ''King of the Wind'': a boy and his horse.
Line 310:
* Arguably inverted on ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]''. Mr. Peabody's initial impetus for adopting Sherman was that, as a dog, he needed a boy to feel complete.
** Specifically, the idea is that it's "A Dog and His Boy".
* ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' had [[Batman in My Basement|A Boy and His Batman]].
* ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'' had an episode of A Boy and His Giant Robot. Also A Girl and Her Boy (Who Is A Robot).
** Let's also not forget about a broody old man and his badass dog, and a whole episode dedicated to a boy and his badass dog.
Line 330:
* ''[[Re Boot]]'': A Boy and his [[Nigh Invulnerable]] (not to mention [[Angry Guard Dog|cranky]])[[Person of Mass Destruction|Dog of Mass Destruction]].
* ''Rainbow Brite'': A Girl and her Horse (Rainbow Brite/Starlight, Stormy/Skydancer, and later on, Krys/On-X)
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb (Animation)|Phineas and Ferb]]:'' Two Boys And Their [[Animal Superheroes|Secret Agent]] [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Platypi|Platypus]].
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]:'' Since Spongebob has a pet named Gary, we have A Sponge and his Snail.
** One episode features a sponge and his seahorse.
