Trivia

After the show's end in 2009, it had a repeated airing on NHK Educational Television from 2011 throughout 2014, with only one segment being aired each time.
- This is the reason why its sequel series airs on NHK, rather than Nippon Television.
At 172 episodes and 516 segments, Ponpoko 4-Kyoudai is the studio's longest running TV anime.
In the online version available on Studio XYZ's official Youtube/Nicovideo channels, director Akihide Akimoto's name was removed from both the opening and ending credits.
After finishing production for episode 85, Series compositor Masahide Iguchi left Studio XYZ for personal reasons. He would later return in 2014.
