Future Boy Conan
Witness the imagination of Hayao Miyazaki before Ghibli
On NHK G
A Miyazaki-directed adventure that pairs post-apocalyptic worldbuilding with warmth and optimism, following a sheltered boy's journey across a drowned world to rescue a friend.
After the great disaster of 2008, a war that destroyed the planet, the world is now largely ocean with the continents having sunk. Conan lives on a remote island with his grandpa and nature, never having seen another human being. But one day a mysterious girl, Lana, washes up on his beach. The two become quick friends, but she’s soon kidnapped and taken to Industria, a technological remainder from the world before. Conan leaves his island in pursuit, braving new lands and many hardships with new friends and enemies just beyond the horizon.
