| 10 | * This is the first film by Studio Ghibli to be animated entirely digitally, with the studio having been stalwart with keeping cel animation their primary technique (alongside the rest of the Japanese animation industry, discounting franchise tie-ins and small-name projects) until ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' in 1997. The use of digital animation was primarily to more accurately transfer the manga's highly distinct art style more faithfully to an animated format, but because digital animation techniques became far more accessible to Japanese studios after ''Princess Mononoke''[[note]]major western studios like Creator/{{Disney}} were already using digital ink and paint since 1990, but as Japan entered a lengthy period of severe economic stagnation in 1991 punctuated by the bursting of their real estate asset bubble in 1992, their animation industry wouldn't be able to afford equally extensive use of computer animation techniques until the tail end of the decade[[/note]], Ghibli ended up making the shift to digital a permanent one. Of note is that most of Ghibli's later films would still use traditional pencil-on-paper sketches, with digital software mainly being used to provide linework and coloring, but never again would a Ghibli movie use actual hand-painted cels. |
| 11 | * There was a sequel series called "Nono-chan" which aired from July 7, 2001 to September 28, 2002 and lasted 61 episodes. |
