Story

“Future Boy Conan” is a post-apocalyptic science fiction anime series directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which first aired in 1978. The story is set in the future, after a devastating world war has left the planet almost entirely submerged. The protagonist, a young boy named Conan, is one of the few survivors living on a secluded island. His peaceful life changes when he meets a girl named Lana, who has escaped from the clutches of the Industria, a remnant of the old civilization determined to rebuild the world at any cost.

Conan and Lana embark on a perilous journey, facing the vast and treacherous world filled with strange creatures, remnants of past technologies, and the ruthless Industria soldiers. Along the way, they meet allies and enemies alike, uncovering the mysteries of the world’s past and fighting for a brighter, more peaceful future. “Future Boy Conan” is renowned for its storytelling, rich character development, and its exploration of themes like environmentalism, survival, and the human spirit. The series is celebrated for its animation, imaginative world, and the way it tackles serious and complex themes through the eyes of a child.
