** [[spoiler:The Industrian High Council]] letting themselves be killed by [[spoiler:their island sinking]] is treated quite casually, and Dr. Lao basically tells Lana not to stop them. Committing suicide out of extreme shame could be considered at least somewhat normal in [=1970s=] Japan, but in many other places and more recent times it would be considered a bizarrely dark thing to allow, especially considering Dr. Lao's words to them seemed to have inspired it.

*CompleteMonster: [[AmbitionIsEvil Lepka]] is the ruthless Chief of Administration in Industria, one of the final bastions of humanity after war ravaged the Earth. Lepka seeks to repeat the mistakes of the past for the sake of his own power by utilizing one of the ancient warplanes that devastated Earth to conquer it. Already responsible for having branded and thrown hundreds of people into Industria's dungeons--a fate he threatens for the two young protagonists--Lepka steadily becomes worse as the plot goes on, betraying Industria's Security Council and attempting to drown thousands of innocent people to flush out the heroes, all after lying that he would save them if they caved into his SadisticChoice. Lepka tortures the old, pacifistic Dr. Lao to the point where he goes both blind and deaf; repeatedly threatens to kill Lao's granddaughter; and he has no compunction killing his own men and abandoning them all to die when his plans go south. As a spiritual predecessor to future [[Creator/HayaoMiyazaki Miyazaki]] villain [[Anime/CastleInTheSky Muska]], Lepka is unusually and totally BeyondRedemption in an otherwise idealistic series.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The show's animation is very nice and smooth, especially by 70s standards (and even most modern TV anime ones). Indeed, Miyazaki later took many of the animation staff for this series with him to Creator/StudioGhibli.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show was very popular in the Arab world and still is today. The dubbing was performed by Arab Audio and Video Center, which was based in Kuwait. The cast included a number of Kuwaiti TV stars such as Jassim Al-Nabhan, Ali Al-Mufidi, and others. Conan's name [[DubNameChange was changed]] to Adnan, Lana's was changed to Leena, and Jimsy's was changed to Abbsi [[CulturalTranslation so that they could]] [[{{Woolseyism}} have names similar ]]to Arabic names. Unlike most Arabic dubs of anime, ''Future Boy Conan'' has retained most of its plot details without any altering.

* NoExportForYou: This series is very popular and well-regarded in just about every corner of the world - except in English-speaking North America, where it is little known despite being a Miyazaki work. Part of this could be the fact that it is a Nippon Animation production made years before Studio Ghibli existed. (An English dub was made, but was shown only in Asia.)
* [[HeAlsoDid She Also Did]]: Four years after playing Lana, Mieko Nobusawa would play another character named Lana, in another NHK-televised anime: ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold''.
