After the great disaster of 2008, a war that destroyed the planet, the world is now largely ocean with the continents having sunk. Conan lives on a remote island with his grandpa and nature, never having seen another human being. But one day a mysterious girl, Lana, washes up on his beach. The two become quick friends, but she’s soon kidnapped and taken to Industria, a technological remainder from the world before. Conan leaves his island in pursuit, braving new lands and many hardships with new friends and enemies just beyond the horizon.

Miyazaki's first major work. This series has proved hugely inspirational to animators around the world, including the director of Flow who said he took the concept of his flooded universe from this show.

I love Miyazaki, and there are a lot of good things in this show. The characters are fleshed out and likable, the colors are lovely, and Miyazaki's penchant for having opposing forces who all have their own viable reasons for doing what they are doing, rather than just being evil monsters. That's all wonderful, and as a Miyazaki completionist I'm glad I got around to watching this series.

But I wasn't really drawn to this show as much as Miyazaki's other works, or as much as modern TV shows. The pacing felt much too slow for me, to the point where I wasn't really hooked. Oftentimes I'll binge shows and they'll hook me into staying invested. But for Future Boy Conan my mind kept wandering. I wound up watching Rick and Morty again and it felt much more gripping.

Still, there's enough positive here for a fan of Miyazaki to enjoy the experience.

my viewing experience of this was not the usual, I watched the dub of another language that I am fluent in as a child with my family and always really enjoyed it. childhood nostalgia for me does it, plus the fact that it's a pretty damn engaging storyline
