La tumba de las luciérnagas
Animator Yoshifumi Kondo, who also worked on "Lupin the 3rd", served as a key animator on the two panda films, most notably a scene in "Rainy Day Circus" where Mimi and the pandas ride a bed across a flooded river. Kondo would play a valuable role in many later Takahata and Miyazaki films, including "Anne of Green Gables", "Grave of the Fireflies", and "Whisper of the Heart".
