I LOL-ed the Star Wars reference :D
I guess that mother and child had something to do with the incident with Tetsurou. I kind of felt sorry for them.~

Gun appears out of nowhere.

Well, that episode was pointless. But I loved the soundtrack at the end, an instrumental version of the ending.

So every episodes from now on will unfold in lawless planets? I guess that's interesting.

Wonder if Tetsuro will surpass Lucky Luke and shoot faster than his shadow. The concept of the Comet Station was hilarious, especially when that guy steps on a cigar. It's as if there were invisible roads.

yes the Star wars reference there was pretty cool as the anime itself is from those years, I reckon.
Interesting to see finally a price list there for the different body parts. And damn. Every episode is so sad. The mother with the kid who wanted to get on the train reminded me of the situation of the refugees trying to get into Europe. So sad.
Well yes..I am curious now that they are outside the solar system.
And lol isn`t killing cyborgs the same as killing humans? I mean they have still the same thoughts as they had while being humans? No?

Yeah... On the one hand, it's simple, naive, childish and on the other hand it's deep, atmospheric, conceptual

It's the same. Not sure if if the cyborg this time was killed, though

Leiji advertising himself what a bastard lol
Even more lol at the Star Wars reference

Welp, that was more depressing than the last
I actually teared up from the mother and daughter

This shit's getting better and better. Can't wait to see Harlock and Esmeraldas. If Captain Harlock is Phantom Kingdom and Queen Esmeraldas is Marl Kingdom, then 999 must be Disgaea. woohoo where's my cookie i want a condom too so i can put the cookie inside and bake it

Well, this comets depiction is a funny concept, so was the station. The intrigue on the other hand....

3/5

This show is slowly reminding me why I was satisfied with the french version (only 40ish eps): I see myself disliking it very easily once I will not be able to stomach its redundancy anymore...
I guess I'll eventually search for an episodes list and make my own menu.


"I guess that mother and child had something to do with the incident with Tetsurou."
What?!


@FMmatron And I was watching it one episode a day or something. ^^"
(Where are you getting the episodes by the way? It was KissAnime for me since it was "3DS-friendly" before their final year.)

Meanwhile I'm still enjoying it a great deal. Every episode offers a change of pace, especially in regards to the location and some more or less silly story xD

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The train is the hope of many desolate people... But unfortunately it is not attainable for all people.

Sad reality, indigestible cruelty. And so, GE 999 leaves the Solar System.

I felt bad for the mother and child, but Tetsurou had to let them go, which was very hard for him to do.
