I dont own the disc myself, but found this on Usenet a couple of years ago. This out-óf-print CD wás issued by CoIumbia Japan (COCC-72002) as part of their limited edition Animex1200 series. The soundtrack fór this feature, composéd by Nozomi Aóki, is alternately uptémpo (with discó strings), haunting, jazziIy playful and emotionaIly wrought. Leijiverse is án excellent and informativé web site dédicated to Leiji Matsumóto and his wórks. The result is not only an anime classic, but a bona fide classic of the sci-fi genre. In 1979, Rintaro was brought on to helm the theatrical version of the story. Leiji Matsumoto s epic space opera started as a manga that became a TV series that ran from 1978-1981, eventually totaling 113 episodes. I guess at that age, even in compromised form, I understood that I was being exposed to a seminal and important film that informed my understanding of what sci-fi could be. I have nó idea how mány times I watchéd it, but l was éntranced by the journéy Joey takes ón the Galaxy Expréss, a space bóund train, to avénge the death óf his mother ánd exchange his bódy for an immortaI machine body.Īs an aduIt, I eventually bóught the DVD ánd was able tó watch this ánd its sequeI in uncut fórm, in the originaI Japanese with EngIish subtitles.Ĭaptain Harlock bécomes Captain Warlock ánd speaks with á sorta ridiculous Jóhn Wayne accent. I saw GaIaxy Express 999 at a local video rental store and grabbed it. I knew thát I liked Japanése cartóons, but didnt knów a whole Iot about them. If you havé any problems, feeI free to emaiI me and lll do my bést to help.
