Opposite Gender Protagonists: Difference between revisions

** ''[[Your Name]]'' has Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu. Although the two don't physically meet for much of the film due to their very different circumstances, they interact through the [[Freaky Friday Flip]], doing things that are initially begrudged but eventually accepted, and end up changing each other's lives.

** ''[[Weathering with You]]'''s Hodaka Morishima and Hina Amano. Initially meeting when the latter gives the former a Big Mac out of pity for his condition, the former later saves the latter from some scum and discovers that she is the weather-changing "sunshine girl" he'd been looking for. Their collaboration to monetise her power, helping others while making a living for her to provide for her younger brother, forms the middle of the film, and choices Hodaka makes involving Hina and the consequences thereof push things to the climax.

* ''[[Shuna's Journey]]'' -- illustrated by [[Hayao Miyazaki]] from the long list of [[Studio Ghibli]] examples in the [[#Anime and Manga|Anime and Manga]] section -- features Shuna and Thea. Shuna rescues Thea from slavery. Thea repays the favour by nourishing Shuna back to health later on, [[Because You Were Nice to Me|because Shuna was nice to her]]. The two briefly interact, and don't exchange many lines, but their relationship has a huge impact on each other.

* Jean and Nadia in ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]'' are a borderline case. While they are very much a pair (the epilogue to the series makes that a clear with their eventual marriage), and Jean does contribute significantly to the development and resolution of the storyline, he seems like a secondary character rather than a co-lead much of the time, subordinate to Nadia, around whom the story revolves.
