{{tropelist}}
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]/[[Ambiguously Gay]]: More like deliberately ambiguous in presentation, but not in conception. Since the children's books since 1994 didn't establish Mei's gender, everyone at the time assumed it was a boy-meets-girl love story, and the story was well established as a romance for over a decade. But the 2005 film firmly established Mei as male, and the creator [[Word of Gay|revealed]] that Mei was always ''intended'' to be male, but that ultimately his gender was not relevant to the story.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Gabu is a pretty friendly and nonviolent wolf for the most parts, but upon realizing {{spoiler|his pack won't be leaving him and Mei alone and are most likely to find an exhausted and weak Mei, he's had enough.}}
* [[All CGI Cartoon]]: The anime series.
* [[Beast and Beauty]]: Mei is the "beauty", but more in that the bestial Gabu finds him irresistable ''[[Carnivore Confusion|to eat]]''.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|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
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: Gabu loves goat meat. Gabu loves Mei. Mei loves Gabu. {{spoiler|Mei is willing to be eaten by Gabu if only one of them can live. Gabu has an emotional meltdown. This trope is used to subvert the [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] trope.}}
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: Some of the terrain stands out ''juuuuuust'' a bit. [[Scenery Porn|Not]] that it's any uglier for it.
Line 34:
* [[Ghibli Hills]]: The idyllic Pleasant Mountain where Mei and his goat kin live. {{spoiler|Also the Emerald Forest where Mei and Gabu are finally free to be together.}}
* [[The Glomp]]
* [[Go-Karting
* [[Green Hill Zone]]: For the goats, every place away from Pleasant Mountain. It's beautiful, there's lots of food, and goats can be killed in broad daylight.
* [[Happily Ever After]]: In the film. Averted in the original novels where {{spoiler|Gabu eventually starves to death and Mei dies of exhaustion}}.
* [[Have You Tried Not Being a
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Averted 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.}}
* [[Homoerotic Subtext]]: Lots of it. This is a ''very gay'' film. But it's also for children, so there are no explicit sexual overtones that aren't wrapped heavily in [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|symbolism]] (such as [[Carnivore Confusion]]).
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|Huge Guy, Tiny Guy]]: Look at them! Just ''look'' at them!
* [[Identity Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|After Gabu has a [[Tap
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: {{spoiler|Mei doesn't want to be eaten by a wolf or anyone, unless that wolf is his friend Gabu and there's no other choice.}}
* [[Imagine Spot]]: Mei and Gabu finding out where each other lives and imagining what it must be like to be there.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Mei and Gabu. {{spoiler|No one else is happy with it.}}
* [[It Was a Dark
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: {{spoiler|Gabu, bravely fighting to protect Mei.}}
* [[The Lost Woods]]: {{spoiler|The forest Mei and Gabu wander through while escaping their pursuers.}}
* [[Love Hurts]]: Boy, does it.
* [[Make Up or Break Up]]: {{spoiler|With all their kin watching from afar, Mei and Gabu must either deceive each other or stay true to each other.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Mei" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the noise a goat makes and "gabu" is the one for biting.
* [[Meadow Run]]: {{spoiler|Mei runs happily across the meadow towards Gabu, but Gabu actually has [[Identity Amnesia]] and is running towards Mei to catch his prey.}}
* [[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.
Line 69:
* [[Romantic Comedy]]: Especially their first date and picnic.
* [[Rule of Romantic]].
* [[Say My Name]]: Through the course of the movie, Mei and Gabu speak/yell the other's name in times of peril and/or uncertainty.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The ''scenery'', not the characters. [[Rule 34|Not that that doesn't exist]].
* [[Secret Relationship]]: Gabu and Mei conceal their association from both their kin.
