    • Trivia
      Loosely based on "The Incredible Tide" by Alexander Key. The basic premise is same, but the story in the anime is mostly Hayao Miyazaki's original. In the book, Conan is 14, while in the anime he is 11. Conan doesn't have superhuman strength in the book, as he does in the anime. 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.

    A classic
    This is one of the first Miyazaki's. He made it in 1978. Was originally released in Italian then dubbed to Japanese. Future boy Conan is a story about a boy and his grand father who were the only survivors of the third world war. Apparently, there were more survivors who did not learn the lesson of preserving life. The anime is not about super beings or the supernatural. It is about ordinary people with ordinary powers driven by pure feelings of goodwill and platonic love. Miyazaki engraved his name in history and in the heart of generations to come with this anime. He gave life to those characters who live in our heart as people we know and learn from. The story line is superb. The characters are lovely. The drawing is magnificent for a 1978 anime. What else are you waiting for....don't miss this anime.
