In July 2008, nations use magnetic weapons... probably based on Tesla's work or scalar technology, to start a world war with cataclysmic consequences. The continents sink into the oceans like Atlantis did and survivors attempt to escape the rampaging planet on spaceships. Lacking sufficient thrust, the gravity of terra firma reels the ships back in and many crash into the oceans. Some make it back intact and a sliver of humanity clings to survival in the aftermath.

Mirai Shonen Conan is based on Hayao Miyazaki's anime series Future Boy Conan, itself an adaptation of the novel The Incredible Tide by Alexander Key. In 2008, a devastating war between two super-powers led to a nearly complete destruction of the Earth. The continents sunk into the oceans, and only a few islands remained. Conan is a boy who grew up on one of those islands, a descendant of one of the survivors of a spaceship crash. He meets a girl named Lana, who later gets kidnapped by soldiers of Industria, a developed island with centralized administration. Conan travels to Industria and is determined to rescue Lana, uncovering a much greater conspiracy in the process.

Characters:
- Conan: The main protagonist of the series, Conan is an 11-year-old boy who grew up on Remnant Island and was raised by his grandfather. Conan is very strong, and can even hang from a ledge using only his toes. He is also a superb swimmer and can hold his breath for more than 3 minutes. Despite his strength, he is gentle and kind. Conan is friends with Lana for whom he develops romantic feelings.

- Lana: Lana, who is also 11, is the first person Conan ever meets who is not from Remnant Island, and also the first girl he ever sees. Lana is the granddaughter of Dr. Lao, and she devotes herself to him throughout the story. Lepka wants to use her to get Lao to tell him the secret of solar power. Lana is referred to as possessing ESP, allowing her to communicate with a tern named Tikki, as well as sense the presence of her grandpa. She comes from High Harbor. Lana develops romantic feelings for Conan and a desire to be with him.

- Jimsy: A wild boy living alone on the first island Conan arrives at, Jimsy quickly becomes Conan's first "companion", helping him rescue Lana. Jimsy is a master hunter, and is motivated mostly by his stomach. Initially, Jimsy has a negative view on women, but he gradually forms a relationship with Tera at the end of the series.

- Dyce: Dyce is a citizen of Industria, and the captain of the ship Barracuda. He was originally ordered to kidnap Lana, but let her escape due to his obsession with his captive and his dislike of Monsley and Lepka. Dyce is initially a comedic villain in the show, but eventually becomes one of Conan's allies.

Conan embarks on a 3D action adventure to rescue her and beat the forces of Industria back with his awesome strength and uncommon abilities. D3P used over 30 minutes of animation footage from the original series to give homage to the source material.
