* Based on Ishii Hisaichi's 4-koma manga Tonari no Yamada-kun. The daily lives of the Yamada family: Takashi and Matsuko (the father and mother), Shige (Matsuko's mother), Noboru (the son), Nonoko (the daughter), and Pochi (the family dog); are at times banal, but usually charmingly strange. Source: AnimeNfo Note: Takahata Isao wanted Yamada-kun to have the art style of watercolour pictures rather than cel pictures. To achieve this, the traditional paint-on-cel techniques were replaced with digital technology, making Yamada-kun the first Studio Ghibli movie to be painted and animated entirely on computers.
