my neighbors the yamadas

anidb ~ animenfo ~ ann

description:

Based on Hisaichi ISHII’s comic strip Tonari no Yamada-kun, this film is about 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). The comic is currently serialized in the Asahi Shinbun (see a sample of the comic), though it has been renamed Nono-chan.

Takahata wanted Yamada-kun to have the art style of watercolor pictures (see above) rather than cel pictures. To achieve that, the traditional paint-on-cel techniques were replaced with digital technology, making Yamada-kun the first Ghibli movie to be painted and animated entirely on computers.

note:

dvdrips got replaced with 1280×720 blu-ray rips. the source has some similar aliasing/interlacing issues, hence was antialiased. a higher resolution than 1280×720 would not be worthy, unless you want to keep the visual problems.
