It's not quite 16:9, but more of a 7:4, which might just be due to
formatting. It's the VISTA format commonly used in Japan. Having it
anamorphic wouldn't have helped because the rendering was done at low
resolution.

Comments:
This is purely computer graphics based, so I don't consider it as
anime, but I liked it enough to decide on purchasing the older
animated Bonobono DVD as well. I can't even start to describe this
show. I don't think I can. Heck, I won't. I do recommend it,
however.
Very unusual set of voice actors and actresses make up the cast.
There's Yoshida Konami (I haven't been keeping track of her even
though I really liked her as Azusa in Mamono Hunter Yohko), ever so
well known Yamaguchi Kappei (need I give an example?), Kozakura Etsuko
(Ryouooki!), Shimamoto Sumi (Nausicaa!), and Morimoto Leo (Shirotsugh
Lardatto in Wings of Honneamise!). I was especially surprised to hear
Morimoto-san's voice because he doesn't seem to be active in voice
acting. He's really an actor, not a voice actor, no? I know of no
other roles he's done after Wings of Honneamise.
Image: Look at Bonobono's whiskers. You can see the stairstepping due
to low-resolution rendering.
