Future Boy Conan (未来少年コナン Mirai Shōnen Konan) is a 70s post-apocalyptic science fiction anime series which premiered across Japan on the NHK network between April 4 and October 31, 1978 on the Tuesday 19:30-20:00 timeslot. The official English title used by Nippon Animation is Conan, The Boy in Future.
The anime is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth covered almost entirely by water, a result of the terrible and advanced electromagnetic weaponry used during World War III.
Spanning a total of 26 episodes, the series was produced by Nippon Animation and featured Miyazaki Hayao (director, character designs, storyboards), Takahata Isao (storyboards) and Tomino Yoshiyuki (storyboards). It is an adaptation of Alexander Key 's 1970 Sci-Fi novel The Incredible Tide.
A video game version of the series by Telenet Japan was released in 1992 on NEC's PC Engine console. The game was released on the Super CD-Rom format and was only available in Japan. A PlayStation 2 action and adventure game adaptation was also released in 2005 only in Japan.
