Future Boy Conan

July 2008. Mankind was faced with the thread of extinction. An ultra-magnetic weapon, far more devastating than any nuclear weapon known, had destroyed half the world in a single instant. The earth`s crust was rocked by massive movements, the earth was thrown of its axis, and the five continents were torn completely apart and sank deep below the sea...
The attempt by a number of people to free [sic] to outer space failed. Their spaceships were forced back to the earth and vanished with their hopes shattered. But one of the spaceships narrowly escaped destruction and crashlanded on a small island which had miraculously survived the devastation. The crew members of the spaceship settled there, as if they were seeds sown on the island.

After years, a boy was born. He was a new life in the desert, a ray of light in the darkness of the annihilated earth...

And there this story begins.
