Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Thanks to Krazer, this is the anime that featured 'Boa Juice' which dissolved people when they drank too much of it. Searching by 'Boa Juice', I found the film's actual title: Flying Phantom Ship (1969). From IMDb: Hayato's peaceful life with his parents and his dog is brought to a dramatic, terrible end when a giant robot, said to be sent from a flying ghost ship, devastates the city, killing hundreds including Hayato's parents. Shortly before his death, Hayato's father reveals that he is not really their son. Hayato is now alone, struggling in this strange new world left after the disaster, where giant machines and monsters control the world.
