Future Boy Conan
"Next World" is the second of Osamu Tezuka's early epic science fiction trilogy, consisting of "Lost World" (1948), "Metropolis" (1949) and "Next World" (1951). They were some of the earliest works featuring steampunk elements, which have since consistently appeared in mainstream manga. These steampunk elements eventually made their way into mainstream anime productions starting in the 1970s, with television shows including Leiji Matsumoto's "Space Battleship Yamato" (1974), Hayao Miyazaki's "Future Boy Conan" (1978), and the 1979 anime adaptation of Riyoko Ikeda's manga "Rose of Versailles" (1972).
