Toss in some telepathy as humans have mutated, good old fashioned pirates, and a general sense of whimsy adventure that is 100% Hayao Miyazaki. Thus begins an adventure where Conan attempts to protect Lana from the forces of Industria, as well as rescue his grandfather from their clutches when he is kidnapped.
However, Lana is being chased by the forces of a land called “Industria” who will stop at nothing to find the secrets of solar energy from her gandpa, one Dr. That is until a girl named Lana washes up on the beach and they find out that there is a LOT more out there than just unending ocean.
The series picks up 20 years later on an island in the watery world where 2 people (Conan and his Grandpa) believe that they’re the last 2 people on Earth. Part of humanity lives on islands and floating ships and other devices, while the rich have their own sort of way of living. Earth basically wipes itself out in an instant, leaving the earth in flux as the major continents break apart and sink to the bottom of the ocean. However, I’m not going to deny the fact that I’ve literally giddy with excitement due to the fact that the show gets a new 4K remaster, a solid dub, and even though it’s missing the movies, is the FIRST time in many many years that this classic show has gotten a home video release.Īiring back in 1978, the show’s premise revolved around humans destroying each other 40 years in the future (2008) with magnetic weapons that were supposedly WAY more powerful than nuclear devices (a plot device that actually makes me chuckle as magnetic weapons can’t really be used as “bombs” like they portray it as). Especially since Gkids USUALLY sticks to their releases of movies vs. Yes, it’s a Miyazaki work and we know that Gkids has been religious about releasing ALL of his works on Blu-ray, but this 1978 seminal anime TV series just didn’t seem to be high on the priority list. Out of all the anime series that we’ve gotten on Blu-ray, and all the Miyazaki upgrades thanks to Gkids, I really didn’t expect to see Future Boy Conan.
