[[File:Arashi_no_Yoru_ni.jpg|link=Male Gaze|frame|This movie has slightly more [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|sexual tension]] than [[The Fox and the Hound (film)]].]]
 
'''''Arashi no Yoru ni'',''' is a 1994 Japanese children's book and 2005 Japanese animated film about the deeply romantic friendship (or [[StraightInvisible to GayGaydar|relationship]], depending on whom you ask) between a goat named Mei and a wolf named Gabu.
 
A CG-animated TV series began airing on April 4, 2012 subtitled ''Himitsu no Tomodachi'' (Secret Friends). It is noteworthy for [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipping]]ping Mei.
 
''God help you'' if you confuse this with ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''.<ref>Although that would be like confusing ''[[The Tale of Genji]]'' with ''[[The Daughter of Twenty Faces]]'' because both titles contain the same grammatical particles.</ref>
 
There is [[No Export for You|no official English title]], but when a translation is needed, fans usually call it ''One Stormy Night''.

=== Tropes: ===
* [[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]]''.
Line 50:
* [[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.
