Trivia:
Loosely based on "The Incredible Tide" by Alexander Key. It is rather difficult to find this book today. The basic premise is same, but the story in the anime is mostly Miyazaki's original. In the book, Conan is 14 (in the anime he is 11), and doesn't have superhuman strength like Conan in the anime does. Miyazaki said he didn't like the book very much. When the project was brought to him, he made sure that he could change the story however he wanted. more

There's only one thing to say about this series - get it now! Of course you've probably seen it if you're even reading this but if not then sort it out.
I'm not going to write a review, there are plenty available, this is the internet. I've said all that's important already. Only thing is there aren't enough stars to rate Miyazaki's work on IMDb.
Incidentally you may want to read the English short sci fi novel called "The Incredible Tide" by Alexander Key upon which this series is based.
This animation series appears to be a prototype for Miyazaki's film Laputa: Castle in the Sky - at least its chief characters Pazu and Shita are based on Conan and Lana of this series.
Also check out Sherlock Hound, all of Masterpiece Theatre series and the amazing 1968 collaboration featurelength animation 'Horus Prince of the Sun' by Miyazaki and Takahata.
