If you loved Adieu Galaxy Express 999, try Galaxy Express 999
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Rintaro, and they both carry the bittersweet, epic mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Adieu Galaxy Express 999, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Galaxy Express 999 is
A runaway teen and a ghost-mom doppelgänger ride a bullet-shaped rail through the galaxy. After his planet is strip-mined for parts, Tetsuro boards the Galaxy Express 999 to trade his flesh for a weapon. Maetel tags along, looking exactly like the woman he lost. The train’s next stop: immortality.
