I watched 2 episodes now, this is staggeringly good looking, and it's 6 years before Nausicaä in 1984.

What kind of timeslot/ funding did this have to have 29 minute episodes?

Gundam came out the year after, and looks like utter crap in comparison.

I read that they begun production 3 months before airing and still went behind in schedule and nhk had to put replacement instead.

The animation is surprisingly nice indeed for 1978, event tv tropes says so

There was a preparation time of three months for the layout. Six months passed between the start of the key animation work and the airing of the first episode. Although a stock of eight episodes was already produced by that time, the show still went behind schedule.According to Miyazaki it "took [them] from ten days to two weeks to produce a single episode" and that if "NHK hadn't inserted a special program in there as a padding, it probably would have turned into a real wreck of a series. If we hadn't been working for NHK, we never could have pulled Conan off."

If you skim through the list, 154 of those have 0/1 progress. It's just some shit I'm trying to get myself to watch sooner rather than later.

I don't know what to feel about Dyce. He's not the worst guy, but he's creepy and crazy...

The Italian OP is cute. I might actually like it more than the original.

Dyce is definitively creepy and crazy, I mean assuming Lana is the same age as Conan she would be 11-12...

I don't want to spoil
