- 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 RUclips 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,

In Italy it was never underappreciated. All my generation adores it
menomale diremo noi e non solo la tua generazione comunque😝
Yup, same thing here in Portugal mate. I still remember very clearly the day the first Ep was aired here in 83. I was completely blown away. Fan for life.
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.
youre exactly the same as me, i watched it in arabic as a kid because my dad loved it back in the day
@@Aurulent I love that there is someone else out there who has that same shared experience as me, thought I was the only one
i love how underrated anime shows are massively popular in arab countries and others like france
@@Malthiusbro me too, but my arab dad translated it for me, nice memories.
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.
In Portugal we lived Conan!
It was my favourite animation series
Great to see so many other countryman's here.
Yes we did live it for sure, and in the 80's, the most magical decade ever!! I made my grandpa build me a wooden harpoon, just like Conan's. And built the Falco and Barracuda in Lego's.
I still watch it now and again, when ever i miss it.
Underappreciated...????? 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!!
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.
Exactly the same here. 1983, on our National TV channel RTP. It's a Saturday morning i'll certainly never forget, when the first Ep aired.
@@conan5885 Same here :). In 1983 there was a big flood in Cacém-Sintra and during the day there was no electric power. That morning my dad connected a battery to the tv and my brother and I saw Conan in black and white with subtitles, great memories...
one of the best anime ever made
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
It has always been unknown in the US because the author of the book the series is based on didn't liked the adaptation and blocked the release of the show in the US for decades. This was only released in the US a couple of years ago.
In most European countries this aired in the early 80's. Every single 80's kid remembers this over here.
I watched this in Mexico and it was my favorite show!
Absolutely one of the best Anime series E V E R
This show is insanely popular in the Middle East
And Europe
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
Here in Portugal we had the original Japanese version with subs, we always had the full opening and ending in every one of the 26 Ep's
Early miyazaki is my favorite, and this show was him in his prime(imo). Nausicaa, Lupin the Third, and Future boy Conan are amazing.
A true masterpiece ! watched it in 1981
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.
Thank you for bringing more attention to this underappreciated masterpiece
People from the 70s and 80s: we had so many great cartoons/animes! Best memories ever!
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.
OMG!!! In Portuguese is "Ana dos cabelos ruivos". My name is Ana. Can you imagine how I feel? This has never left my memory. I still love and remember it, 40 years later!
I still remember some of the scenes from this series which i enjoyed so much more than any of his subsequent movies.
Best work from miyzaky
One of my favorite anime series! More people should watch it
BROO I WATCHED THIS IN ARABIC WHEN I WAS A KID AND IT WAS LITERLY MY FAVOURTE THING EVER
how did nobody know of that?? thats my childhood
Yours and mine both brother. For me it was 1983, i was 10, changed my life. Best story and characters ever!!
@@conan5885 yeaa
I remember seeing a few episodes of this as a kid in 90s. Today I learned the name by chance. I am not an anime watcher by any stretch of definition, but now I can check it all out and finally stretch of that itch that's been stuck in my ADHD brain for almost three decades 🙂
Conan was my child show that shape my youth. Finding friends and sailing I toke it serious. Now I continue preaching for “high harbor”
I watched it just now and I love it. It is literally "Ghibli the TV series." So many ideas from Conan have been later used in Ghibli movies.
Without this show we wouldnt have nadia, megaman legends, grandia, now and then here and there, and many more
shows like Eureka seven also with the "boy and girl in sci fi mecha setting that end up falling in love"
Theres also at least two moments in chrono trigger that are definitely inspired by it
YES! I played Chrono Trigger just after watching Conan and I was so excited running along the wings of the Blackbird and destroying turrets just like they do on Giganto, incredible how influential this show is. I'm so glad you're the first person to point it out, I'd love to know the other moment. Have a great day!
And thank you for making this video, you are a hero!
Totally agree, my favorite TV series!
I watched this show back in the 80s in it's original version back in Portugal. Everyone my age in Portugal will remember this. I reconnected with Ghibli in the 00 never knowing, but suspecting, this show was part of his work!
OH, THIS SHOW. Wow I remember watching this when I was... like... 6? Although I wasn't born when It aired, but my dad had CDs for it, all 26 episodes, and I binged them all, on an old PC. Brings back memories.
I watched “Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!” During the pandemic and just started watching Future Boy Conan and I didn’t draw the connection till I saw the scene with the floating purple ship. I was like “wait…I’ve seen that before” 😮 😂
What a great video! I just finished watching this series and wanted to see other peoples' thoughts on it. It really was a fantastic show.
I was exactly the same! I couldn't believe how little information I saw about it considering how amazing it is and who made it. I'd love it to get the recognition it deserves in the West. Thanks for your kind comment and I hope you have a lovely day!
The comparison to Evangelion might actually make me watch this! Loved the video!
this show is soooo good
my dad showed me this anime, it was my first cartoon in general, and i loved it so much that even 17 years later, i'm still listening the soundtrack😍. My favourite characters were those brown soldiers, they are just like stormtroopers, they never hit anyone🤣
Yeah me too i like the brown soldier , This is Giganto's special uniform same as the green soldier but more badass & virile
I still remember watching this as a kid and the scene with Conan throwing those rocks 😂😢
i don’t know why but whenever i watch conan i fell like i want to cry so bad
I watched this series like twice and loved it making it my favorite anime before finding out it was made by the co founder of studio ghibli
I've only discovered this after watching Dororo and I wanted to find some old anime that isn't Astroboy or Gundam. Watching this makes you think, whoever made this, had potential. And he did. I see a lot of elements here that Miyazaki used for his films. Won't be surprised if there is one refence to this show in the Boy and the Heron.
Based on Alexander Key’s the Incredible Tide.
The Incredible Tide
Why do the protagonists remind me of castle in the sky’s protagonists
Because they where literally built upon the Conan and Lana base characters, both visualy wise and personality wise
Post the Tsunami of 2004, animax strangely started broadcasting, and that is how I discovered this masterpiece...
I am from Andaman btw...this show came to me after weeks and weeks of blackout.....
couldn't agree more.
Future boy conan was and still popular in the Arabic countries as dubbed عدنان و لينا adnan wa lina. ❤ I was surprised to know it was made by him.
I remember seeing this masterpiece in catalan
Watching future boy Conan when I was living over seas back in the early 90s, Arabic dub was called “عدنان وا لينا" which means Adnan and Lina where the Conan’s name was Adnan. Anyway that was my introduction to anime and I fell head over heeel for it
Everyone in Jordan knows this classic. It was called Adnan and Leena dubbed in Arabic.
Incredible video
Great video as always! I didn't even realise this existed. I'm going to check it out this weekend. Also, what's the music playing at 8:00? I recognise it, but can't place it
Hateno Village (Day) from Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Thank you!...
i watch Future Boy Conan with ani-one very good if live in asia can watch it
I’m surprised how many seasons it got I thought it could’ve had at least 3 seasons unfortunately it didn’t come out at the right time. I don’t watch it because I don’t like the voice acting and the script of the show, but I do believe if it would’ve came out during the late 90s-20s it would’ve been absolutely huge
Spread the gospel.
This is one of the cases where the "movie" or should I say show was better than the book that inspired it. I read through Alexander Key's "The Incredible Tide" and this wasn't that good at all. It had incomplete characterization, very sudden and illogical story progressions and unlike the Miyazakian masterpiece this volume spawned it was almost impossible to identify with or have any empathy with the characters. It was a rote, very 2 dimensional children's book of 120ish pages that took about 3-4 hours to read and I took my time reading it word for word trying to find and tease out all the elements from the show. They were certainly there like Lepka and the landing on the beach or whatnot but Miyazaki pulled it off far better. If you just compare the time it takes to watch the show which involved a running time of about 12 hours vs just reading the book which is a small fraction you can understand why the book was so superficial by comparison.
For all the media I have seen FBC represents my absolute favorite movie or show. The depth of the story, how the characters evolve, the imagery, music, conflicts, tension and resolution and artwork is breath taking even after nearly 50 years of its initial publication. Surely the animation is dated in some ways but absolutely timeless. Highly recommend watching.
09:00 I'm sorry. I didn't find anything called 'club's creations'. Whats the film called?
Hahaha I see how I could've written that more clearly. Just incase you're still looking for it, it's a TV show called 'Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!'. It's about a high school film club (Eizouken means film club in Japanese), so when I said 'the Film Club's creations' I was referring to the films they make in the show. I hope this clears things up and please have a great day!
Great
Anime was real and ment something before. I feel like Hayao himself destroyed anime with all the wierd stuff he made later. Now anime is just wierd. One used to learn something from Anime before. Now it’s all about gross drama and fighting…..
Movie name please
Can I get english dubbed by any chance ?
there is a dub! And it's really really good
@@rebaz7256yes. I think it's dubbed by GKIDS
Which is Poby in this movie?
He's the guy right at 3:51, his name's been changed to Jimsy in the original Japanese ones.
Movie maam
