A "must have" for all anime fans Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Galaxy Express 999" richly deserves its great reputation. Yes, the animation from this 1979 production is decidedly retro by today's standards, but the film has a richly mythic storyline, iconic character designs, plenty of very striking visual images, and a lushly symphonic musical soundtrack.

At the film's outset, young Hoshino Tetsuro watches as his mother is slain by the cyborg Count Mecha. Tetsuro vows to gain revenge against the cyborg and believes that he, too, must shed his human form and become a cyborg in order to accomplish this purpose. Accompanied by mysterious Maetel (who, coincidentally, resembles his mother), Tetsuro boards the Galaxy Express 999 (a spaceship in the form of a train) in order to journey to a distant planet where he can achieve this desired transformation into a vengeful cyborg.

Along the way, Tetsuro meets a host of colorful characters -- including the legendary Captain Harlock -- and experiences hair-raising adventures. Before he has a chance to become a cyborg, he is confronted by Count Mecha. Can the intrepid tyke manage to defeat the fearsome and ruthless Count? "Galaxy Express 999" definitely is a trip worth taking! (Note: I watched the 2011 Eastern Star DVD release of this classic anime that is available in the US.)
