Future Boy Conan

About

Future Boy Conan is a Japanese post-apocalyptic science fiction anime series created by Hayao Miyazaki. It is based on Alexander Key's novel "The Incredible Tide." The story begins in July 2008, where a devastating war using ultra-magnetic weapons leads to a catastrophic shift in Earth's axis, causing massive earthquakes and tsunamis. The continents are torn apart, and humanity is forced to live on isolated islands. The series follows Conan, a young boy born on an island called Remnant Island, where survivors from a failed space escape attempt have settled. Conan's life changes when he meets Lana, a girl from High Harbor, who is pursued by Industria, a dystopian society struggling to maintain its industrial economy. Industria seeks Lana's grandfather's research on solar power, which could restore the world but was also a factor in the apocalypse. Conan embarks on a journey to save Lana and uncover the secrets of the past. The series explores themes of survival, friendship, and the impact of industrialization on society, providing a compelling narrative of hope and rebuilding in a post-apocalyptic world.
