Future Boy Conan: Hayao Miyazaki's TV Show

In this one I learn that sound effects are funny.

I gather it's actually pretty popular in the Middle East.

I'm so sorry Jimsy for cutting you from the thumbnail. I agonised trying to get Lana and Conan in at a decent distance, and using just one image would leave black bars 1/8th of the screen on either side.

This show is so unknown that I can't even watch the intro on Youtube to sing a long to. And the outro has less than 100k views. It's gosh darn Hayao Miyazaki's directorial debut! I genuinely think you could upload the full series and it wouldn't get taken down.

If you're reading this, have a great day!

Lots of Love,

I remember watching this show as a kid fully dubbed in Arabic, apparently it was something my parents had enjoyed before me. Thank you for bringing it up.

In Italy it was never underappreciated. All my generation adores it

This anime is widely spread among us in the Middle East, since it was dubbed in Arabic in the early eighties, it is in a special place in my heart.
I love it sooo much it’s one of my favorite thing in my life, Complete, exquisite, flawless piece of art. As you mentioned at the beginning of the video that it is Miyazaki’s greatest and most extraordinary work. It is perfection and breathtaking beauty starting from the Gorgeous engineering designs of the fabulous planes, the Geometric design of industria wow just wow, the aesthetic of the horizons that captivate hearts. The wonderful artwork, especially abandoned buildings after the apocalypse you can see the overgrown in every aspect of anything in anime man look at details it’s in 1978 and still waaay much better than a million of anime streaming today. the unique animation style, the composing that brings you into the atmosphere of adventure never heard like it before, the plot of the legendary story make it a unique work of its kind and one of the best in the history of seventh art. i love everything about this anime but i adore much is the aeronautical style man look at the Falco design or giganto or the Frigate and the brown & green soldiers they are my favorite characters. I hope i cosplay them someday.

You've got to be joking.... I mean, really...
Maybe you mean "unknown" in certain countries like the U.S., till recently.

You ask *ANY* 80's kid in most European or Arab countries about Future Boy Conan, every single one of them will say it the best animation series ever and an *icon* of their childhoods. I still remember *vividly* that Saturday morning in 1983 when the first Ep aired in my country. I was 10, changed my life, and i'm a fan of this show, it's story and characters for life!!

In Portugal we lived Conan!
It was my favourite animation series

[shougatea]

I’m currently watching the show and it’s shocked me how few people in the US seem to know about it. there is so little discussion on the series and it’s such a shame because it’s so wonderful

[AnJudivineone]

I am almost 50. This was one of my favourite TV shows when I was a child, in Portugal. Original, not doubled. Still amazed! Thank you for creating this.

[Nobody-trdj]

This show is insanely popular in the Middle East

[micheleviciguerra]

This Is such a beutifull series...
I'm from Italy and I watched the old master many times and I love It.
You described the series well, but you have to know that the opening in the old master happend only at the start... It was a decision of the DVD producers to put the opening on every eppisode.
Good video. Bye

[itsoutahere]

Absolutely one of the best Anime series E V E R

[fintan]

Early miyazaki is my favorite, and this show was him in his prime(imo). Nausicaa, Lupin the Third, and Future boy Conan are amazing.

[jalalsafdar]

A true masterpiece ! watched it in 1981

[zeamaiz]

Thank you for bringing more attention to this underappreciated masterpiece

[onelphil]

The full series was on youtube about a year ago, and it was up for close to a decade. That was when the series was in licensing hell, but then GKids acquired the rights for the blu-ray release and the rest is history.

[soulbronumberone]

I still remember some of the scenes from this series which i enjoyed so much more than any of his subsequent movies.

BROO I WATCHED THIS IN ARABIC WHEN I WAS A KID AND IT WAS LITERLY MY FAVOURTE THING EVER

[attackofthecopyrightbots]

Without this show we wouldnt have nadia, megaman legends, grandia, now and then here and there, and many more

[ipooni]

I grew up watching this in Korea in the 70/80s. One of my favorite animation ever. I watched every rerun too. He then made Anne of Green Gables. That was my favorite too.

[RyanGrille]

One of my favorite anime series! More people should watch it

[rileywilliams]
