I love space anime or any anime that takes place on another planet, I think that all anime with a space back drop make some very good anime. I would like to see what is the best space anime you've seen.
My favorites are: Trigun: It has cool images of spaceships in a few of the episodes. Cowboy bebop: I think the best space anime ever because they show alot of cool looking planets with strange enviroments and good images of space. Vandread: Would have to be my second favorite space anime because of it's CGI battles between ships and mechs, also has cool looking planets and good images of space. |

I love outlaw star and thought it was pretty amazing but that was overtaken for me by Robotech the Macross series which I thought was so innocently funny and yet had some really shock moments in it. So for me its cowboy bebop haha didn’t see that coming did you.

My favorite would have to be Outlaw Star. The way the ships are with the hands and guns is just sweet. Plus they're going from planet to planet, each of which has their own unique design. By far, it's gotta be Outlaw Star.

Hillariously true. I agree, this was one of the first anime movies I had ever seen, you know back in the mid-late 90s when SciFi channel showed them at like 2 am (5am EST). I would sneak out to the living room and tape them and watch them over and over and over again. 999 express takes the cake! Khrim |

Is it available on Dvd in the states? I've always wanted to see 999 or any of the related series... |

None of you seem to have thought much of Mars Daybreak, or Planetes. I haven't seen them either, yet.
But what I have seen would have me voting for Outlaw Star, or Cowboy Bebop. I think I would go for Star. More worlds, and I don't think our solar system will be colonized that quickly as it is in Bebop. I also think that Star did a better job in telling the effects of varying gravities than did Bebop. I think that when people go to other places in space, they will find that "Earth Norm" is anything but out there. Or are we going to have artificial gravity before we have feasible star travel? |

This was the first true anime I ever saw, on an HBO bootleg tape no less, in the early 1980's. Two official VHS movies were released stateside but these are no longer available and there has yet to be an R1 DVD release to my knowledge. The only DVD release I'm aware of is a surprisingly pricey R2 version sans English subtitles. You can find a few R1 DVD's from Leiji Matsumoto's universe, just not the Galaxy Express 999 movies specifically. There is also the original manga and a TV series apparently but I don't know much about either of those. I still have a bootleg version of the original VHS release but mine is in mono and cuts off just as the train is flying off the tracks before the ending credits. 
This movie has a very special sentimental value for me and I will certainly cherish it always, but since there is not an easy way for English speakers to watch it, I'll recommend this title instead: anime#42
Based on the following link, I would say artificial gravity is probably much easier to achieve than interstellar travel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gravity |

Hmmmmm, cool space anime...
I watched the first few minutes of the first Cowboy Bebop episode, does that count? 
I guess Macross Plus is the only space anime I've seen besides...Teknoman? Yup, Teknoman is the coolest space anime I've seen (I didn't like Galaxy Express 999)... *runs* |

Ugh. 7 of the 14 posts so far have hardly any content worth disucssing. Not to mention 5 of them were reported, which is a bit annoying for me to check through my e-mail for.
To those of you who put up some fairly knowledgeable posts, I apologize. To those of you who put next to nothing as to why you thought the said space anime was "cool" (including the author of the thread), try a little harder to be more detailed next time. Thanks. |
