Future Boy Conan: The Complete Series
Description
"A real joy!" – Jordan Allen, Japan Times
Twenty years ago, a terrible war fought with magnetic weapons caused the Earth's axis to tilt, and the resulting earthquakes and tidal waves destroyed civilization. Conan is born into this new world, raised by his adopted grandfather on an isolated island. But his life is changed forever when a mysterious girl named Lana washes ashore, pursued by shadowy operatives who seek to use her in a new scheme to control what's left of the world.
The directorial debut of Academy Award®-winner* Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away), Future Boy Conan is a landmark in animation history. This crackling sci-fi adventure series, beloved worldwide but never before released in North America, features a new English language version and 4K digital restoration.
*2002: Best Animated Feature, Spirited Away; 2015: Honorary Award
Why We Love It
“Overall, Future Boy Conan is one of the best anime ever made. Not only on its own merits as a great and hugely fun series that demands to be binged watched, but also its ongoing cultural legacy and how it has helped shaped anime storytelling over the fast four decades. While Miyazaki may be lauded for his films, Future Boy Conan is easily his best anime work by far.” – Ollie Barder, Forbes
