Line 18:
* Most arcs of [[Mahou Sensei Negima]] end up being this in some form or another, as almost every antagonist turns out to have a rather justifiably heroic motivation, although their methods are usually uncomfortably pragmatic. The exception, of course, is [[Psycho Lesbian|Tsu]][[Axe Crazy|ku]][[Depraved Bisexual|yo]][[Complete Monster|mi]], who's just nuts and horny.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As]]'' is all about this. Literally everyone, protagonist or antagonist is trying to do what they think is right. The most evil character in the story is merely a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]. Hell, the resident [[Person of Mass Destruction]] summoned in the climax is not evil and quickly befriended. The best example however, is the ongoing fight between the TSAB (the protagonists) and The Wolkenritter (the [[Hero Antagonist|heroic antagonists]]), which could be described as [[Lawful Good]] vs. [[Neutral Good]]. With the antagonists being the former.
** Let's put it this way: in entire thing, closest thing to "evil" is Book of Darkness {{spoiler|[[AI Is a Crapshoot|defence program gone crazy]]. Yes, even the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Book of Darkness]] isn't evil, just unable to stop itself.}} Then again, her name ISN'T Book of Darkness [[
* In [[Suzumiya Haruhi]], it is stated that the Organization, Koizumi's faction, and the time travelers, Mikuru's faction, are fiercely against each other. However, both sides are just out to maintain the status quo, and protect the titular character. Meanwhile, Yuki's faction are formless data entities, with their own inner power struggles and wars. On the whole, they prefer to maintain the status quo by not interfering except to maintain [[Masquerade|the masquerade]], while trying to learn how Haruhi's powers work. As for the three agents, they have stated that should their factions go to war, they will stand by the SOS Brigade, breaking ties if they have to.
* Good guys duel each other all the time in [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]], but the struggle of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Team 5D's]] versus Team Ragnarok really stands out. They may be dueling in a tournament match, but it's a full-on conflict of genuinely good-hearted heroes chosen by their respective gods to destroy the evil antagonists in the next round. Each side believes the other fights for good, but is also unworthy and incapable of defeating the Lords of Yliaster.
