Information

Description

In the distant future, humanity has opened up large parts of the galaxy. Wealthy people can afford to transfer their consciousness into machine bodies and thus achieve immortality. Poor people, on the other hand, are destitute in the slums and dream of immortality.

The half-orphan Tetsurou Hoshino comes to Megalopolis with his mother, where he wants to earn money to travel to the distant planet Great Andromeda on the space train Galaxy Express 999. There, machine bodies are said to be plentiful, so they, too, can be granted immortality. But before they reach Megalpolis, his mother is shot by Count Mecha. Tetsurou is found buried in the snow by the blonde woman Maetel and rescued. When he learns that his mother’s killers are nearby, he sets out to kill them. In the process, he is chased by the cyber police and is rescued again by Maetel. Maetel has a pass for the Galaxy Express 999 and is willing to give it to Tetsurou if she can accompany him on his journey because the boy has not given up his dream of immortality. From then on, the two travel on the Galaxy Express 999, which looks like an old steam train.
In einer fernen Zukunft hat die Menschheit weite Teile der Galaxie erschlossen. Wohlhabende Menschen können es sich leisten ihr Bewusstsein in Maschinenkörper zu transferieren und deswegen Unsterblichkeit erlangen. Arme Menschen dagegen verelenden in den Slums und träumen von der Unsterblichkeit.

Der Halbwaise Tetsurou Hoshino kommt mit seiner Mutter nach Megalopolis, wo er mit ihr gemeinsam Geld verdienen möchte, um mit dem Weltraumzug Galaxy Express 999 zum fernen Planeten Groß-Andromeda zu reisen. Dort sollen Maschinenkörper angeblich in Hülle und Fülle vorhanden sein, sodass auch ihnen Unsterblichkeit vergönnt sein kann. Doch bevor sie Megalpolis erreichen, wird seine Mutter von Count Mecha erschossen. Tetsurou wird vergraben im Schnee von der blonden Frau Maetel aufgelesen und gerettet. Als er erfährt, dass die Mörder seiner Mutter sich in der Nähe befinden, macht er sich auf und tötet sie. Dabei wird er von der Cyber-Polizei gejagt und wird abermals von Maetel gerettet. Diese hat ein Pass für den Galaxy Express 999 und ist bereit ihn Tetsurou zu geben, wenn sie ihn auf seiner Reise begleiten darf, denn der Junge hat den Traum zur Unsterblichkeit nicht aufgegeben. Fortan reisen die beiden mit dem Galaxy Express 999, der das Aussehen eines alten Dampfzuges hat.
