Mirai Shounen Conan

NTHT's setting is an alternate world, a bleak dystopian wasteland that seems to be made up of almost nothing but desert and blood-red sky; the atmosphere is stifling and oppressive, a nihilistic vision where skies are not blue, but blood-red, and there isn't a drop of water to be found, completely opposite of FBC. Enter Lala-Ru, a girl who, like Lana of FBC, holds a power that can save the world from its ruin: a power that has fallen into the wrong hands. NTHT is very much like FBC might have been, had Miyazaki been feeling suicidally depressed. Both of these are tales about the effects that war and abuse of resources have on people. read more 

A sinister man with a large tower as his base hunts a girl who holds the secret to the energy he needs to power it. An outsider boy acts as her protector. Both series take place in a dead/wounded future Earth. Both have the same basic plot progression in terms of what happens to the characters and where they go. Now and Then, Here and There is basically a darker version of Future Boy Conan that takes place on Arrakis instead of Waterworld. Both shows are really good! 

Both take place in an alternative dark world of war and are about a boy who suddenly happens to go into that world because he wants to save a mysterious girl from an emperor who doesn't want to let go of his vision of future but still tries to win the war wich he can only do with the help of the girl. The story is very, very much the same and both are alike in their art and date of production and so are the main characters. Future Boy Conan is not all as dramatic as Now and Then, Here and There and a bit more of enjoyable to watch and is still a bit more of a children's cartoon, however, it doesn't lack much of seriousness on the topic of war compared to Now and Then, Here and There. read more 

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where the protagonists are a young boy and a young girl. Both have the same feel and can be sad sometimes. I think that both anime are classics that everyone should watch. 

Both shows take place in a futuristic apocalyptic wasteland where humans have recently started to attempt to rebuild society. The art style is somewhat similar between the shows, but "Now and Then, Here and There" has a bit more of an orange and yellow hue to it, while Mirai Shounen Conan focuses on lots of greens and blues. In both shows, the main character is a boy who is attempting to save a girl from being used by authoritative government powers against her will. There is a theme in both shows of the main characters attracting evil forces wherever they go, and there are very similar moments in both shows in this vein. read more 

Totalitarian dictatorship in a post-apocalyptic setting. The "government" of each anime is trying to kidnap and use the secondary main character, who are both girls, for their own plans and personal gain. Both main villains begin to lose their sanity as the show goes on and become power hungry. In Now and Then, the case could be made that the villain had already lost his mind from the beginning. Both villains have attractive women as personal guards, both main characters are young boys who have a very black and white view on the world and a strong ethos against killing. They also tend to act without knowing what they're doing or having a real plan in mind. Now and Then is a much more brutal and depressing watch compared to Future Boy Conan. Both have violence, but the themes, implications, and actions of the characters are pretty tragic to watch. read more 

Both anime are about a teenage couple in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future where they fight a military dictatorship built on pre-war arms technology. In both, the girl holds the power to change the world for the better but needs shounen MC to protect her - a mix of Yamato Nadeshiko and damsel in distress. Both touch dark themes and put protagonists and side characters in painful situations. With Mirai Shounen Conan clearly being a kid's show, there never is a doubt those challenges will be overcome. Consider Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku the adult version done by a slightly sadistic director, because here the good guys don't always win. read more 

Both have similar themes. The main character is a boy who does whatever it takes to save a girl. It's full of sorrow and treason, war, military and hope. But Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku is much more harsher. Both give me similar emotions. There's no more similar show than this.  

Both are directed by Hayao Miyazaki~ if you enjoyed Castle in the Sky, you should have just as much fun with Future Boy Conan. Both feature a boy and a girl with a power ^__^ 

the same art, the same director and kinda the same scenes and character designs in both the main character is a girl and a boy, and the boy helping the girl and all that... they're really similar! 

Both are about a boy & a girl trying to make their way to a mythical land, and going up against opposing political/governmental forces that get in their way. The leading girls in both also have something the governmental forces want to obtain to use for malicious purposes, and they chase them down and attempt to capture the girls in both because of this. Both of them feature airships, and have battles that take place in the sky. The art style is also very similar in each, which isn't surprising, considering they share the same director. 

Two very similar works by Hayao Miyazaki. A fantasy adventure film about a boy rescuing a girl from an evil man who needs her to gain the power to destroy and rule over the world, using the weapons of the old world before the apocalypse happened. 

Both anime revolve around a boy who meets a girl who go on a adventure to protect said girl from antagonists with their own sinister agenda, the artstyle looks similar and both are directed by Hayao Miyazaki. 

Both the film and TV series were conceived by Hayao Miyazaki using early concept elements for an adaption of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. In both instances, a boy and girl are traveling together to uncover the mysteries of a lost civilization while being pursued by an evil organization. 

They are both amazing adventure stories based with lots of sailing and a real world setting. They both have young male and female protagonists. Both series have roots in a planned but never-produced anime based on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. 

Both series are adventure tales that take place primarily on the sea, travelling to different islands. They also feature a similar lead cast, with a scrappy excitable young boy, and the pensive female lead that accompanies them. There's even ship captains in both shows that aid the lead roles. There are some minor differences, but the one major difference I can see would be the animation styles... which, in both shows, are contemporary of the era they were made in. 

Both share an atmosphere which is in many ways reminiscent of the World Masterpiece Theater series. Both directed by influential anime directors. 

The directors of both shows had worked together on many projects up until this point (Heidi, Haha wo, Akage no Anne). Gundam was created almost as a reaction to Conan, mimicking it in many respects, while still having much to say of it's own. Both shows have a worldview strongly influenced by their directors, on account of both directors storyboarding almost the entirety of their respective shows. Both shows also have remarkably high quality animation, having some of the best animators of their times push themselves to their absolute limits with uncommon production methods (layouts). Similar core themes of humanity's self destructive nature, and questioning if that human nature is set in stone, but hugely different approaches. Both are absolute must-watches for anyone interested in Anime's history. read more
