Galaxy Express 999 (English Subtitled)

The Conductor lazily says, "Ehh, the next stop is Loose Zone. We'll be stopped for twelve hours or so. Yes we're arriving at Loose Zone." Feeling just as lazy and loose as him, Tetsuro ends up being ejected from the 999. Maetel and the Conductor search to find him, while he clings on to dear life. Unfortunately, the search is fruitless and he is flung off the train. He ends up in a space tunnel filled with garbage. Running away from the giant garbage monster there, Tetsuro ends up on the path to get to planet Loose Zone.

They land on the Planet of Dream Pursuit. This is a planet of overrun logic where those who do not work hard are put to death immediately. For the reason, people's jobs are assigned by the government. A young rocket mission control officer named Aaron loves comics so much that he's often scribbling pictures on the forms at his work place. He wanted to be a comic book author but the government assigned him to a role as a rocket mission control officer. However, he couldn't throw his dream away...

On the planet of the Queen's Rebellion, the Hornets, Wasps, and Honeybees all coexist. However, because of the Queen's polarizing personality, the honeybees and the wasps are fighting. A young wasp named Damu is frightened as the sudden fighting breaks out throughout the town and the air. Filming the rebellion with a hand-made camera, he tells of the impending war to Maetel and Tetsuro.

The 999 is attacked suddenly on Planet Ali Baba and crash lands deep in the desert. Tetsuro and Maetel go to head to town while the Conductor heads to the station to contact the Galaxy Railways Authority. They are forced to cross the desert. Ali Baba is a land known for being filled with thieves. Not surprisingly, Tetsuro and Maetel are captured by a group of bandits before making it to town. Forced to strip to their underwear, except for the Conductor who is conspicuously missing, they are taken to Ali Baba, the leader of the bandits...

Tetsuro is attacked by a mysterious bird assassin, Roc, while Maetel is attacked by a mysterious woman. And it looks like a fight as begun between this woman and the bandits who captured Maetel. It turns out that this woman is the true Ali Baba. She lost her position as the top bandit in Ali Baba to the woman they met before, the fake Ali Baba. After Tetsuro and Maetel are rescued by the true Ali Baba, she joins with him to defeat the fake one.

On planet Legend, Tetsuro notices lots of people straggling by the wayside. Maetel points out that they are cyborgs who have lost the desire to live. Two young people, Meim and Saki wake up Tetsuro in his hotel room. When Tetsuro refuses to fight against the leader of the cyborgs, he is going to be put to death. When Tetsuro is spared by the leader of the cyborgs, we learn that he is trying to make this a planet only for cyborgs.

"I want to board the 999, too," says brothers, without form, who float off in the distance. Feeling pity for his brother Crosalis's words, Aron stops the 999 in hopes of mechanizing themselves into Ghost Station No. 13. The 999 is forced to make an emergency stop on Station No.13. Though the Conductor agrees to stop there, when asked by the Locomotive, neither him nor Maetel have heard of this planet. Sensing something is amiss, the Locomotive orders them to withdraw.

The planet, the Knights of Kilimanjaro. Chivalry lives on here and two countries are fighting a proper, open war. There, Tetsuro witnesses a biplane dogfight. He spots one pilot who is slacking off during the dogfight. The name of this pilot is Izaka. He's not of high lineage like the other pilots and wants nothing more than to fly the skies like a bird. But, his dear friend Kikuo is killed from another plane's attack. Izaka explodes in rage while he watches everyone celebrating the ceasefire, ignoring the fact that his friend was sacrifices.

Main and Sab are passing the time by acting out a war. They are the last two people living on this planet where everything is controlled by Mother Computer Junior But, bored with war, the two plot to use the 999 to escape the planet. Since they need two people to use as scapegoats to trick Mother Computer Junior, they choose Maetel and Tetsuro!

The 999 enters into a warp at high speed to make up for a large amount of lost time. But, the flow of time inside the warp is messed up and they encounter a 999 from a different time! They suffer a minor accident. On the 999 from the past, or maybe the future, is Maetel, the Conductor, and a young boy who looks similar to Tetsuro, named Redril. Redril has the same warrior's gun as Tetsuro. Then they head towards a drifting planet where a new danger awaits!

The 999 has encountered a 999 from another time inside of the warp. The two Maetels ended up landing on the wandering planet, Phantom, which is populated with strange life-forms. They are let go once they realize they are humans. But, the Conductor is captured by a different create altogether! They want to use the 999 to escape. It turns out that, on this wandering planet, the cyborgs are persecuted by the humans!

The Bat Planet is the last stop before the final station, planet Promethium. Because of this, this is where many passengers come and ponder as to whether they should become cyborgs or not. Tetsuro is one of these people. There, they meet an aspiring animator named Masai. He works by drawing portraits of travelers to save money to get a mechanical body in order to overcome his weak physical body and pursue his dream of making cartoons. But then, he steals Tetsuro's pass...

Tetsuro finally arrives at the final destination, Promethium. However, he still cannot choose whether or not to become a cyborg. He is given twenty-four hours to make up his mind. But, during that time, Tetsuro speaks to a cyborg who was sick of eternal life and attempts to commit suicide. This man tells Tetsuro of Maetel's true identity as Promethium's daughter. Then, his guide, Mirai, tells Tetsuro that he has been chosen to be a vanguard soldier of the Mechanized Empire. Tetsuro confronts Maetel...

Upon choosing not to get a mechanical body, the Queen tries to send Tetsuro and the 999 into the black hole. And Maetel and her father, Ban, are both imprisoned for being traitors. But she breaks out and rescues the 999 from peril. Maetel is reunited with Tetsuro. They will use the energy from the pendant that Maetel's father was sealed in to defeat Promethium!
