| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Conan finally gets to Indestruia and finds Lana :) in a running and action-packed episode. |
 |
| That Fuhrer guy sure doesn't seem too nice and Industria is not very welcoming of strangers... But it felt good to see Conan and Lana reunite in the end :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| So far this show feels like a drawn out hybrid of Nausicaa and Mononoke - two Ghibli films that I honestly don't care for. The stories feel farfetched and the villainization of technology comes off as preachy. Conan has its charms: I love the depiction of island life in ep. 1 and Conan's interactions with Lana are adorable. But if the story continues on a generic save-the-heroine-and-the-world track, I might have to call it quits. |
| I don't get why Conan got so attached to Lana, I mean they barely know each other. If they were spending more time together back when they're in Remnant Island, it could be more believable. Just a minor complaint though. |
| I feel kind of conflicted about Industria. Sure, the brown-coat guy is a child-abusing asshole, and is clearly taking a villain role, especially with how he threataned Lana with that branding gun. However, Industria itself doesn't appear to be evil, as evidenced by the council, who are simply working in the interest of helping the human race survive, through the use of solar energy. This makes me think less of Lana's grandfather, who abandoned Industria taking with him the secret of solar power. Of course, the council still decided to hold Lana against her will, even though they agreed that kidnapping her was wrong. So maybe they're not as good as they first appear. It's an interesting dichotomy, and there doesn't appear to be any clear-cut good and evil in the show just yet, that's pretty impressive for a show from 1978. Anyway, I guess I'll see how things pan out from here. Impala said: I don't get why Conan got so attached to Lana, I mean they barely know each other. Because she's the first girl Conan ever saw in his entire life, and he's a young boy who is heavily swayed by his instincts. I feel like that's enough of an explanation to me. |

| I knew Conan was strong but not THAT strong. JESUS and of course, the obligatory square-headed, broad-bodied business-suit-donned Miyazaki villain seriously 1978?? still can't believe it the quality of this shit is just GREAT |
| Industria isn't exactly the nicest looking place. A lot of corruption going on there. Conan and Lana have finally reunited, but can Conan help her escape? |
 |
| Don't know how to feel about Industria,but I'm curious to see what's beneath the nice facade. Conan and Lana reunited,simple,but cute coment. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| How the heck is Conan that strong?! Does he have a devil fruit? |
 |
| Seems like Industria isn't filled with bad guys, like the old men committee. The squared jaw guy seems like he owns a private prison for profit or something, the place looks huge. |
| Episode 5 out of 26, and he's already in Industria and found Lana. I wonder where the story goes from here. Industria itself is what I imagined: a dictatorship of big wigs, no plants in sight, treating people like garbage. The main building looks like a prison. Didn't expect them to mark people as second class citizens, produce food out of plastic, and shoot children. It's not stuff you can cover with a promise of saving the world with solar power, the whole system is rotten. What's more interesting is that some older characters, like that captain, don't seem 100% evil. They have some positive traits, and they're more of a product of their environment. That's why Conan, who lived on an island full of nature with his kind and wise grandpa, is so different. Miyazaki was teaching us to view the world through children's eyes even back in the 70's. |
