Running away from all problems and into space like | Galaxy Express 999 (1979)

[@thecultofberserk7246]

Rest in Peace Leiji Matsumoto sensei!!! Thanks for all this lovely works from Space opera genre.

[@blandiir4599]

The hand-drawn art style of retro anime is beautiful! I wish more people appreciated it.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

I saw this first in NYC, years ago.... on Nippon Television, it ran late at night and most Americans back then were not familiar with, OR interested in anime style cartoon shows. It won my heart immediately because I love so much of Japanese culture and, always have. I am now 74, and STILL can watch these and love Tetsuro's space-train adventures....

[@Shanaoh]

Such a calssic. My dad had VHS copies of this show and it was truly an incredible show.

[@reyonXIII]

I love hearing these classic seiyuu in their youth and prime. Masako Ikeda's voice being perfect for a classic Matsumoto goddess

[@lorancehack4876]

The voice acting of this era was just so beautiful. Every word just hits so heavy and it's filled with so much gleaming hope. No anime is like this anymore. And no dub could touch this ever. Wish I could rewind my time to when I was more innocent and relive these first experiences.

[@jacobmoss6830]

I'm not gonna lie, the dubs of this do a pretty good job.

[@Oelgo]

I also hope that Matsumoto-sensei has a safe journey to the stars now - R.I.P. Master!

[@mikhailmiller981]

Tetsuro Hoshino's voice actor is Masako Nozawa popularly known voice actor of Goku, Gohan and Goten. ^^

[@NAJ0202]

And Masako Ikeda, Maetel's seiyuu, was the voice for Nodoka Saotome from Ranma 1/2 :)

This was my moms childhood anime and when she found the DVD’s she immediately bought them cause she missed it so much!

[@PapiTrident]

Did your mom ever watch The Galaxy Railways?

[@Gothy_Senpai]

Such a beautiful scene. I think everyone can relate to this. Its why i cherish all my memories because Ill look back at them when im older. Even the bad memories become precious after some time.

[@theawesomebat1244]

I’m surprised that this anime was given a shoutout in ‘Stranger Things’. It’s amazing seeing Galaxy Express 999 getting recognition.

[@shanemiller1182]

What episode?

[@theawesomebat1244]

@@shanemiller1182 Season 4 Episode 2. It’s the scene where Robin chooses ‘Doctor Zhivago’ as her morning movie, despite Steve’s dislike over Double VHS.

[@lord_scrubington]

Original movie was so much better than its sequel

[@dai-f4s]

you mean adieu ge999? damn we have different opinions then

[@jhonnymark7581]

I swear these "relatable" titles from this channel are not that funny, that they are so consistent for it. He's not running away from his problems. He's getting on the train to find the guy who killed his mother. Talk about a poor way of click baiting if that's the case.

[@TheTongueofRa]

The title still works. Yes he "wants" to take revenge on the guy who killed his mother and get a machine body, but as a character he also "needs" to move on with his life and enjoy life.

[@raulbetancourt5795]

It still does apply somewhat, because he also needs to learn to move on which he didnt want to accept that much.

[@jhonnymark7581]

@ The movie wouldn’t be as good with the whole “revenge is not the answer” line. I’m glad they didn’t do that.

[@EqualOpportunityDestoroya]

I just ordered this series from Amazon.

[@AuroraWolf655]

Is there a difference between the movies and the animated series?

[@homingice6444]

Galaxy Railways is different in many ways from Express 999. Though Galaxy Express 999 has many alterations in of itself. So you can say that each Galaxy Express 999 is a bit to widely different then the other Express 999.

[@sanken21]

And there is English dub for this anime

Not for anime but for some of the main movies yes
