I've been meaning to watch it streaming for a while, though I've sort of been holding out hope for a DVD release some day.
I remember watching the movies on Sci-Fi Channel back in the "Saturday Anime" days. I loved it then, even with the lackluster dub track. Leiji Matsumoto has done so much great work. I hope that one of these days there'll be a proper Space Battleship Yamato release. |

Wait, no... the show on HULU is pretty clearly the new series from 2003.
This one is on Crunchyroll: http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Galaxy_Express_999 I still know what I'm doing before I go to bed tonight. |

While The Galaxy Railways is a great show (too bad we never got Season 2 in the US), it's not the series covered in this review. It's a much more recent series from Matsumoto. The show in question can be watched here: http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Galaxy_Express_999 EDIT: You could've just edited your original post. 
Please be advised: the show is 113 episodes long and very much an episodic watch. If you don't especially like Crunchyroll, note that when the Funimation Video Portal comes back up, it'll be there too. The same is true for all of the Toei titles available via streaming. To learn more about GE999, I recommend everyone read the Galaxy Express 999 article at the Captain Harlock Archives. That entire site is exceptional, as Matt Murray is one of the baddest cats on the block when it comes to Leiji Matsumoto-related stuff. |

Thank you.
Any chances someone will put up the tv series for Yamamohto Yohko? I've had the six OVAs for fiveish years and been trying to look for that series since. |

Oh yeah, I need to watch more of this series. Watched an episode somewhere in the 30s quite a while ago and really liked it.
Come to think of it; I also need to watch the 1978 Captain Harlock. Caught a few episodes in the 30s of that series as well around the same time as that one GE999 episode I watched. Last edited by Jedi General on Fri Jun 19, 2009 12:12 am; edited 1 time in total |

I stopped where Live-eviL stopped at episode 33. I plan to continue soon, but I'm lazy. Anyway, the show is pretty much "Maetel and Tetsurou go to this weird planet, maybe Maetal finds a way to blow it up because it's corrupt." I think the idea was that they traveled to 100 planets.
Anyway, I did watch both movies (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and they were magnificent. It's a shame that they're not out on DVD in North America, although I do believe they were on VHS at one point. But yeah, I can agree about the animation being dated in the show, it was a 113 episode show, they had to budget it out somehow. But due to it being old and so long, you know no one except oldfags and nostalgiafags will be checking it out, like myself. Please review Harlock in the future too, you can definitely see an increased budget, and the story is excellent. Harlock is the most stoic and strong-willed hero I can think of in anime. |

Actually, CrunchyRoll is not the best place to watch Galaxy Express 999. To my knowledge CR doesn't have all of the episodes. FUNimation's Video Portal has all of the episodes, so I'd recommend watching it from there... Once it's done with maintenance, that is.

The Yamamoto Yohko TV series is unlicensed and has never been (officially) subbed. There is no legal way to watch it. |

Argh! I was following L-E subs of the show too. I hope to actually continue watching this show in the future. |

Captain Harlock was showing on the Funimation website along with GE 999 before it was closed for maintenance. I think Galaxy Railways was also showing on the Funimation website. It's definintely showing on Funimation on demand. |

Galaxy Express 999 can be a bit long in the tooth but also fun.
Tetsuo resolves the issue of his mother's murderer in the first episode as opposed to the film where it's a longer and more stretched out plot point. Think I enjoyed Space Pirate Captain Harlock more because I was able to get to that story's conclusion a lot sooner. I'd like to see both of these come to R1 but due to the economy and negative possibility of profitability, we'll never see this happen. Still, if you can, also try to find the Arcadia of M Youth movie for a completed Harlock story, but beware: seems people on ebay and amazon are doing the comic book collector's thing and charging like $90 for the AnimEigo DVD, so a convention dealer room may be your best bet. |

...and now I have!
Don't mind that one bit, it gives me something to watch every now and then rather than big long arcs to follow.
You know, this would be a great thread for a Funi rep to give us an update on how that maintenance is going... |

So, this may seem like a strange question considering I'm asking for something awful, but does anyone here know where I could find (legally or otherwise) a copy of the ridiculously terrible English-dubbed Galaxy Express 999 movie? I just remember it followed the basic plot of the show (but, y'know, SERIOUSLY condensed), that Tetsuro had a really long name (like Johnny Subaru Firefighter Awesome Kukuku Smith or something), and that someone died of a "horrible space disease." It was an absolute travesty against Leiji Matsumoto and, really, against art, but it was also one of the funniest things I've ever seen and I'd kill for a VHS tape of it.
 However, my searches have never yielded anything substantial...
