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

The most popular cartoon in the Arab world, 24 May 2006
10/10
Author: yafaden from United States

growing up in Aden/Yemen. This serious was repeated on national TV every summer during the 80's. and now it is very widely available on bad quality DVD's. i think the reason why this series became so popular is the excellent science fiction story line combined with a lot of funny scenes and humor. i would love to own it on DVD that is of good quality but it is not available in the United States.I don't understand why such an excellent series is not available in the united states. not only its an excellent science fiction story but its also very educational. I would definitely want to show it to my children. its simply unforgettable.
