Future Boy Conan is the NHK's first domestically produced animation and is considered Hayao Miyazaki's first substantial directorial work. During its initial broadcast, it achieved an average viewership rating of about 8%, a somewhat disappointing result. However, its popularity grew through reruns, and a theatrical version, edited from the TV series, was later released.
00:19Future Boy Conan was NHK's first domestically produced cel animation, and is said to be Hayao Miyazaki's first directorial work.
00:33When it was first aired, the average viewership rating was around 8%, which was a bit disappointing, but its popularity increased after reruns, and a movie version edited from the TV version was later released.
00:50Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:55The original story of Future Boy Conan is a science fiction novel by American novelist Alexander, titled "The Remaining People," and a total of 26 episodes were aired in 1978.
01:10The story begins in the year 2008, when a final war breaks out using super-magnetic weapons with greater power than nuclear weapons, causing the five continents to deform, the earth's axis to bend, and many cities to be submerged underwater.
01:27Twenty years later, Conan and his grandfather were living peacefully on a small island called Abandoned Island, using a crashed space rocket as a house.
01:41One day, a young girl named Lana washes up on the shore, and he takes her in for protection, but her grandfather dies and Lana is taken away by people from the science city of Industria.
01:55Now alone, Conan sets off on a journey to Industria to retrieve Lana, who has been kidnapped.
02:04First, let me explain about the main character, Conan.
02:09Conan is the only human born on the island left behind after the final war, and his parents are thought to have been a man and woman who escaped on the spaceship rocket that was being used as a home on the island.
02:24He was already a boy of great discipline, and his grandfather had essentially raised him as his parent.
02:30He is 12 years old, has incredible physical abilities, and lives in Morimoto, the same forest where he lived as a dorm. No matter how dangerous the situation, he remains calm and overcomes it with indomitable determination.
02:44He also has a gentle personality and respects life, not wanting to resort to the ultimate solution of killing, even if it is an enemy.
02:55Because of this personality, Dice and Monsly, who were initially enemies, become comrades and fight alongside him in the latter half of the show.
03:05Also, Lana, a 12-year-old girl who was the cause of Conan's journey, was abducted from High Harbor, where she had been living, and forcibly taken to Industria.However, she managed to escape on her own and was left behind, washed ashore.
03:25In fact, Lana is a girl with telepathic powers who is being pursued by Industria because she can communicate with her missing grandfather, Dr. Rao, who holds the key to reviving solar energy.
03:41His parents had already passed away, and due to his loneliness, he often communicated with animals such as terns.
03:49In addition, there is Jimsey, who becomes Conan's first human friend after he leaves behind.
03:59Although he is only 10 years old, he has physical abilities that are comparable to Conan's.
04:05After meeting Conan, he always acts as his partner, and in the latter half of the show, he forms an odd couple with Captain Dice.
04:16And Dr. Rao is the reason why Lana is being targeted by Industria.
04:25He is the sole survivor of a team of scientists involved in the development of solar energy before the final war.
04:33It is interesting to see how the practical application of solar energy led to the final war.
04:38He was seriously injured while escaping during the final war, and his appearance changed dramatically, causing him to become a different person and go missing.
04:50While working as Patch, the head of a salvage ship, he meets Conan and Lana.
04:57Lana's telepathic communication reveals that it is Dr. Rao.
05:01After that, he goes to Industria, but is captured by Repska and tortured.
05:09In the final episode, he passes away with Conan and the others watching over him.
05:15Industria will be in conflict with Conan and Lana.
05:20Industria is a place where, before the final war, the waters of human technology were collected and
05:26It refers to a huge city built around a huge or triangular tower.
05:33Even after the final war, a few humans managed to survive.
05:38I was facing a chronic lack of energy.
05:42Therefore, the leaders of Industria
05:46To revive the solar energy system,
05:49They were searching for the missing Dr. Rao, who possessed the technology.
05:54There, you can find out where the doctor is.
05:58He ends up kidnapping his only human, his granddaughter, Lana.
06:03He escaped from a ship heading to Industria,
06:06They are left behind and washed up on an island.
06:11Now, let me explain the characters related to Industria.
06:16First, he appears in the first episode and
06:21Montsley, who was left behind and taken away from the island, will explain.
06:26He also reports directly to Repska.
06:28While he acts faithfully in his duties,
06:31Conan's strong will,
06:34Considering the high level of physical ability,
06:36As an Industria citizen,
06:38I try to educate.
06:40However, on the other hand, Repska's extraordinary personality and
06:44He realizes his strange friendship with Conan and the others.
06:47He will fight alongside the rebels.
06:51Also, in the final episode,
06:53It was within the prefecture,
06:54She is married to Captain Dice.
06:57That Captain Dice,
07:00He is in charge of the Barracuda, the anti-war flagship.
07:03Usually from the islands,
07:05Energy fuel,
07:07Dig out the plastic
07:08It is being transported to Industria.
07:11Although he has a slightly frivolous personality,
07:14He is a kind-hearted man,
07:15I fell in love with Conan's manliness,
07:17Together they will fight against Repska.
07:21During the battle,
07:22Repsuka,
07:23With solar energy,
07:25When Gigant was revived,
07:27Conan and
07:28With Jimsy,
07:29Boarding the Gigant,
07:31It's destroying the squadron from the inside.
07:35and,
07:36Reviving solar energy
07:39Aiming for world domination,
07:40There's Repska.
07:42In Industria,
07:44He is the Director of the Administrative Bureau.
07:45Aiming for dictatorship
07:47He was also a hawk.
07:49Except for myself,
07:51An enemy?
07:51They only see it as a tool,
07:53He has a cold personality,
07:55Those who oppose me,
07:57Rebel,
07:58or,
07:59As a prisoner,
08:00It was close to being chased.
08:01but,
08:03With his high intelligence and leadership skills,
08:05In Industria,
08:07He has considerable power,
08:09Only naive conclusions are drawn,
08:11He abandoned the elders of the Supreme Council,
08:14After reviving solar energy,
08:17Finally,
08:18strategic bombers,
08:19Revive Gigant.
08:23here we go,
08:24Finally,
08:25This is the final episode.
08:26strategic bombers,
08:29In the deadly battle at Gigant,
08:31Somehow,
08:32Gigant crashed,
08:34Captain Dice and Jimsy
08:36Floating on the sea,
08:37On top of the remains of Gigant,
08:39Somehow I managed to survive.
08:41There,
08:42Due to crustal movements,
08:44Escaped from the submerged Industria,
08:46With Lana,
08:47Montsouris' ship appears,
08:49Rescue the two of them.
08:51but,
08:52Regarding Conan:
08:54When Gigant crashed,
08:55Because it was a separate action,
08:57Both of them,
08:58Conan's life and death
09:00It was unclear.
09:02after that,
09:03With the encouragement of Dr. Rao,
09:05Lana is
09:06Using telepathy,
09:07Find Conan,
09:09Rescue.
09:11and,
09:12Conan and Lana
09:13Dr. Rao was lying on the bed.
09:15The destruction of Gigant,
09:17I will report the end of Rzepska,
09:19Were you relieved to hear that?
09:21The doctor
09:22He quietly passes away.
09:24In the midst of sadness,
09:26The ship,
09:27After Dr. Rao's aquarium,
09:29Lana's hometown
09:30Head to High Harbor.
09:33Upon arriving at High Harbor,
09:36One day after a while,
09:37The village
09:38Two celebrations,
09:40It was exciting.
09:42One is,
09:43Sitting down,
09:44Pulled out of the sea,
09:45Repairs to the Barracuda are complete.
09:48It is a new flooding method,
09:49The other one is,
09:51Captain Dice and
09:52It was Montsouris' wedding.
09:55The villagers
09:56For these two events,
09:58Soon,
09:59I was heading towards the coast.
10:01Among them:
10:02In High Harbor,
10:04Married sailor couples,
10:06This includes children.
10:08Amidst the celebratory fireworks
10:10The Barracuda,
10:11The flooding method,
10:13It ended safely,
10:14This time,
10:15On that battlefield,
10:16The wedding took place.
10:18after that,
10:19this,
10:20Using the Barracuda
10:22Immigration to the remaining islands began.
10:25of course,
10:26There,
10:27Conan,
10:28Lana,
10:28There are also Jimsey and others.
10:30and,
10:31It's about time,
10:32It's about time we see the remaining islands,
10:34For some reason,
10:36There,
10:36Not a small, abandoned island,
10:39A large island will appear.
10:41Conan and Captain Dice confirmed,
10:44At the top of the island
10:46It was Conan's house.
10:47I saw a rocket.
10:49it is,
10:50Due to visual fluctuations,
10:52It was submerged,
10:53It seemed like the air around the island was blowing.
10:56Finally,
10:57By returning to the island,
10:59Conan and Lana
11:01Hugs,
11:02In the smiling scene,
11:03The program ends.
11:04So,
11:07where:
