Future Boy Conan/ Mirai shônen Konan

Episode 5 of 26, and he's already in the Industry and found Lana. I wonder where the plot will go next.

The industry itself is about what I imagined. Totalitarianism, treating people like garbage, plants are nowhere to be seen, the main building looks like a prison. I did not expect, however, that there would be such a division into layers in which people are marked as used/second-rate, and that food is secretly made from plastic.

Some adult characters don't seem 100% evil, like the captain. He is the result of the environment in which he grew up and lives, but he still expresses dissatisfaction with what is happening. The contrast is Conan, who lived in nature far from civilization, and learned everything from a kind and wise grandfather. He is not used to seeing this state of affairs, and the reaction is appropriate. Back in the 70s, Miyazaki taught us to look at the world through the eyes of children.

A long-awaited meeting! ;-)

A great series of its time, which still looks frighteningly relevant. It's a good example of Miyazaki's entire future work, and all his fans should definitely watch it.

Actually, it looks a little strange. The series itself is so bright, colorful, and childishly naive, but it's constantly shooting, waving knives, and trying to kill someone (including the main character). And the topics here are quite serious.

Strong boy😅
