#Arashi no yoru ni english dub anime movie#
There really hasn't been a movie like this that can capture the hearts of those who watch it so easily and yet almost 5 years after release it still hasn't been seen by most of the world officially outside of Asia. This movie is something of a real rarity at the time of this review being made. I only regret that this movie is not receiving the recognition it deserves, so do the creators of this movie a favor and spread the word. It just melts your heart and uplifts you. Overall it's a must see for anyone of all ages, it teaches the viewer how important friendship is no matter who you are. The music is also very good, it always fits the situation occurring and is nice to listen to. The animation is wonderful, the environments are lush, colorful and detailed, the characters are well drawn, they can emote all kinds of expressions without coming off as overly cartoony but not all that realistic either.
The supporting characters are Gabu's pack and Mei herd, they are there to fuel the conflict of the movie, they are the biggest obstacle when it comes to their friendship along with the laws of nature about predators and prey. The main characters, Gabu (wolf) & Mei (goat), are very well developed, you can really feel how much they care for each other and you as the viewer would want nothing more then to see them live happily ever after as best friends. I won't say much more than that because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who wants to see. They manage to look past their physical differences because of the bond between them, but the fact that they are natural enemies puts a heavy burden on their friendship. When they finally meet each other on a normal day they see the other for what they really are.
A goat and a wolf meet on a stormy night, they exchange words regarding a few things about themselves. It's quite simplistic but it works very well. The basic theme of the movie is that true friendship exists between those willing to sacrifice anything and everything for each other. There is so much to say about how amazing this movie is, I'm not sure how best to begin. Keep your eye out for a US release of a film entitled something like, "On a Stormy Night." I give this film a 7. Presently, it is available on DVD in Japan without English subtitles. Nonetheless, this is an excellent effort well worth watching. From the perspective of a more jaundiced adult, the friendship seemed to me to have an unintended layer of sexuality. From a child's-eye view, the connection between the two can be seen at face value-the two become good friends. It's an attempt, within the short time constraints of the film, to depict how a strong friendship can develop between traditional enemies. Whenever the two meet, they tend to show great interest in each other. There is a slight problem with the scenario, however. As a story goes, it is a better than average presentation of the "your enemy isn't so bad if you get to know him" theme. More remarkable, the moving foregrounds are also detailed and rendered with subtle shades. The backgrounds are colorful and detailed. As animation goes, this is a top-notch production. Instead of letting their instincts take over, they have a laugh about the mistake and agree to go to lunch together anyway.
When they do meet in the light of day, the truth of the matter becomes mutually apparent. They agree to meet for lunch the next day at the same place. They strike up a friendly conversation and find they have very much in common. Mei thinks Gabu is a goat and, conversely, Gabu thinks Mei is a wolf. The inside of the barn is too dark for them to see each other. On a stormy night, (the English translation of the title) Mei, a goat, and Gabu, a wolf, seek temporary shelter in the same barn. It's a modern fable about wolf and a goat who overcome their natural enmity and become the best of friends. 'Arashi no yoru ni' is a beautifully rendered animated film.
