Good concept, poorly executed.

Fantastic!

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

First off let me start by saying that the current cover as of 10.31.2015 for this series is wrong. I grew up watching this show. It aired where I lived in mid-late 80's. It became an instant classic. Most people do not realize that this is a Hayao Miyazaki production. For its time this was beautiful and remains so to this day. The story is captivating and the music is phenomenal. I can say that Future Boy Conan is children friendly. It has an older Disney feel to it. Keep in mind this series was first aired in 1978. But it was released in HD for those interested. I recently (no more than 2 months ago) re-watched the entire series. Considering how rare this series is, If you can find this series, buy it. I assure you, you wont regret it.

Highly dramatic and engaging, this TV series was near perfect and shows Miyazaki's talents for the first time he directed something. Interestingly, Miyazaki's characters that he developed in this TV series served as prototypes for the films he made. Indeed, this TV series is actually one 26 episode long film with many subplots that constitute each of the episodes.Also, it is impressively dramatic considering it was a TV series marketed for children. The Japanese animated TV series were always much more dramatic and complex than American animated TV series, but in the 1970's anime it was still in its early stages and wasn't as well developed as it became in the 1980's, when it's range expanded to all demographic groups.An excellent TV series, indeed, one of the most powerful ever made. Yes, I said powerful for an animated TV series from the 1970's, because it is.

It is one of the few animation series that I remember being broadcasted here in Portugal when I was younger (1984). I didn't know who the author was, but I loved it. Best of all, in those days here in Portugal, they would show Japanese Animation with the original voices (Japanese) with Portuguese subtitles.Now about the series: It has drama, it has action, and it has comedy, all packed in fantastic animation (for 1978). In one series we see all the themes Hayao Miyazaki would use in his films. And a lot of characters are prototypes of others he creates in his films. Fantastic!
