Mirai shônen Konan (1978)
One of the best anime works to ever be created
Seeing Conan as a child thanks to my father, I can confidently say this movie opened the way to the various other works of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli movies.
Now, many years later (I am 22), after watching many other animated series, I can assurely argue that this is one of the best animes ever created.
In a style similar to Akira, Future Boy Conan set a standart and an example for animes such as Cowboy Bebop, Rurouni Kenshin and many others who would later be considered the breakthrough animes of their generation.
The series consists of only 26 episodes, being short without disregarding character development, displaying amazing creativity and attention to detail and leaving the viewers with the satisfied sensation that they have lived the whole adventure, which is now complete. Not having a dull moment, a filler episode or any sort of fan service (a bit like Hunter x Hunter, Full metal Alchemist, Mob Psycho 100 or Death Note).
Truly a masterpiece, funny but with depth, beautiful story telling and beautiful animation.
A Miyazaki's work ahead of it's time which sadly remains unknown for the majority of the younger generations which many times ignore great animes for being too old.
