Future Boy Conan
In 1978 Hayao Miyazaki directed a 26-episode series called "Future Boy Conan", based on "The Incredible Tide." The themes of living sustainably in harmony with nature rather than coercing it with technology, and of villains trying to recover the technology that nearly destroyed the world in the past, both recurred strongly in the first full-length film Miyazaki later wrote and directed, "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" (1984), and in the 1982-1994 manga of the same name by Miyazaki on which he partly based his film.
