The Castle Of Cagliostro is a fantastic movie. Inspired by a recent Miyazaki thread, I recently watched two TV series directed by him: - Future Boy Conan - Lupin III (partly Miyizaki, partly Takahata, partly other directors) Lupin III was ok, but I wouldn't particularly recommend it (the TV series, as mentioned the film is excellent). But I would wholeheartedly recommend Future Boy Conan (also known as "Conan, The Boy in Future"). I thought this was every bit as good as his movies, with the bonus that it's almost 13 hours long in total.

> Future Boy Conan Mirai Shōnen Konan ... I watched this with my kid when he was 7-ish ... man was that series great, my kid was addicted ... and yeah, it lasts for ever even though each episode is short.

watched in Italy when I was a kid. "Conan il ragazzo del futuro". Its aesthetics and post-apocaliptic world fascinated me.

  Same here, in Latin America. The new Italian dub just came out. I will have to wait until December for the Spanish language release.

Future Boy Conan - renamed “Adnan wa Lina” (Adnan and Lina) - was (and still is) one of the most popular cartoons in the Middle East and North Africa. It and UFO Robo Grendizer (and a bunch of other anime) were picked up by a Kuwaiti dubbing studio and blew up all over the region in the late 70s and 80s. If you ask anyone who grew up in the region from the 70s to 90s, they’ll very likely know these two shows.

  Correction: Grendizer was dubbed by a Lebanese studio. In general, Lebanon, Syria, and Kuwait are the big players in the anime dubbing space. Egypt is known for dubbing US cartoons.

  Grendizer!! Oh man that takes me back. Star Blazers was the other show I couldn't get enough of at the time (circa 1982?) as a pre-adolescent.

There's a reason that Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, the anime about making anime that made a New York Times "Best TV Shows of 2020" list[0], references Future Boy Conan as the original inspiration of one of the main character[1][2]. Also, Future Boy Conan apparently just got a new 4K release[3] [0] https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/01/arts/television/best-tv-shows.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/01/arts/television/best-tv-s...

  > Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! One of the best animes I have ever seen. Celebrates the inherent deep joy in making, set in a low key solarpunk world. A breath of fresh air. No surprise Masaaki Yuasa was involved, his latest movie Inu-Oh gave me similar feelings of ecstasy by combining off the walls psychedelic animation with a 14th century historical Noh theater inspired rock opera. So good.
