Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy

Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy (1998) is a Japanese anime feature you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Konosuke Uda, the film picks up a year after Tetsuro's victory over the Metanoid Empire — and immediately puts him in chains again, this time under a human tyrant.

Maetel arrives with the 999 to break him free, returning his gun and hat just in time to face a new threat: the deadly knight Helmazaria. At 55 minutes the film runs closer to an extended episode than a theatrical release, but it holds the Leiji Matsumoto atmosphere intact — retro-futurist trains crossing space, and every departure carrying the weight of something final.
