Galaxy Express 999
Anyone ever see this anime? Its kinda old. 1981 old!
Its a cool movie though, one of the first anime movies i'v ever seen. Its about a boy named Tetsuro hoshino, whos... well here let me just cut and paste! The story of Galaxy Express 999 is set in a space-faring, high-tech future, where mechanized people with "machine bodies" are pushing humanity towards irrelevance and extinction. A street urchin named Tetsuro Hoshino desperately wants an indestructible machine body, giving him the ability to live forever and have the freedom that the poor humans on Earth don't have. While machine bodies are impossibly expensive, they are supposedly given away for free on the planet Andromeda, the end of the line for the space train Galaxy Express 999 (Technology has advanced to the point where space-faring vehicles can assume any shape, such as the classical locomotive in the story.). Tetsuro meets up with a beautiful woman, Maetel (sometimes translated "Maeter", both from the Greek mitir [and Latin mater] for mother), who is the spitting image of his dead mother. Maetel offers him passage on 999 if he will be her traveling companion. Tetsuro agrees. Another notable character in both the manga and the anime series is the seemingly strict, mysterious alien conductor, that sometimes gets involved in Tetsuro's and Maetel's adventures Anyway, there is more but it has spoilers. And you dont want to spoil it! Its a cool anime! If your a fan of anime, then you definitely want to check it out :P
