[edit] Brave New World inspired?

It seems to being a bit inspired in Brave New World, specially the stuff about Industry, the extreme meritocracy system and Conan being some kind of "savage". What do you think?

I live in the UAE, I believe I watched the anime dubbed at least five years ago. It was dubbed into Arabic and aired in many Arab countries, to my understanding, possibly before 2000. I think you should include it. MB 18:13, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Future Boy Conan was dubbed way back in the early 80's by an Iraqi/Kuwaiti team (Ironic isn't it?). It was definately one of my favourites growing up. And as for the "Brave New World" influence, if there was any it came directly from the novel Conan is based on; "The Incredible Tide" which I read some time ago on the internet.

[edit] Similarities to Laputa

FBC has many similarities to Miyazaki's later movie Laputa: The Castle in the Sky. Does any have any verifiable sources that discuss these similarities to we can add it to this article? zzymyn 00:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

This movie and also Laputa have actually a lot of common with Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, and the reasons for this are explained there under the title "Trivia". --Allgaeuer 00:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] conan name

Does this anime have any relation to Detective Conan? Wooyi^{Talk to me?} 22:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

No relation at all. Future Boy Conan is named after the character he's based on from the book "The Incredible Tide", and Detective Conan is named after the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Mohi 08:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

It might be worth pointing out that the series has nothing to do with the other Conan, the Robert E Howard one. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
