Why is the partial transliteration "Ginga Tetsudô Three-Nine" and not "999"? A-giau 02:55, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I've seen the Japanese version and there are clearly saying English Three-nine. It isn't even pronounced like 'Surii-nainsu', they actually get the English pronunciation right. Alexander 08:20, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Isn't "Kyū~Kyū~Kyū" literally nine-nine-nine? So is it Three-Nine or Nine-Nine-Nine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.245.238.249 ( talk) 18:34, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
I don't know why someone has removed the Nietzsche reference, I thought it was a welcome addition to the article and makes a lot of sense -- 86.18.156.77 15:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know WHY GE999 is out of print? Is it a rights issue? This would be useful information for the article.
Viz hasn't given a solid reason as to why the GE999 movies are out of print, but I'd guess the usual answer that older anime simply doesn't sell well would be a major point. Leiji Matsumoto-based anime in general also has a tougher time in the modern market most likely due to his unique art-style, which has been known to put off people used to modern-day cookie cutter designs. There's also the fact that there are very few older properties from Toei, especially ones popular in Japan, that are currently licensed in English. The cost may simply be too probitive. 81.159.240.109 15:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone have any information on the four TV specials and the featurette, 'Glass no Clare'? I can't find any details on these anywhere. -- Mantrid2001 09:45, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone verify the existence of a Japanese musical based on GE999? -- Bart weisser ( talk) 06:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
It might be worth mentioning that animations from this game were used in the idiotic/impossibly hard Phillips CD-i game "Escape from CyberCity". See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQxnGMC-2ZU&feature=related for a video about the game. Doregasm ( talk) 08:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
I think we should explain that space trains are actually high technology spacecraft that are built to cosmetically resemble steam trains, although obviously the wheels and suspension are functional to enable them to use railways as landing pads — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vmaldia ( talk • contribs) 13:08, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

"their minds (but not their emotions)"
Not only is this flat wrong, it misses the entire point of the story! Did the editor who added this even watch the series? The first time we see a robot crying is in episode two.
In general the plot summary leans very heavily toward the movie at the expense of the TV series. (e.g. Tetsuro in the series is not an urchin.) I'm not sure how to go about fixing thishaving separate sections for the movie and series would be somewhat redundant but just pointing out each difference would be pretty distracting. 173.206.251.69 ( talk) 13:55, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

I feel the figure caption should clearly state that the locomotive was intentionally fitted with a 'non original' Galaxy Express 999 prop. 193.71.191.79 ( talk) 08:43, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
The omission of the influence of Maurice Maeterlinck's "The Blue Bird" is surprising and disappointing. Galaxy Express 999 is essentially a retelling of the classic play. Maetel's name is a literally taken from the character Mytyl, and Tetsuro is a stand in for Mytyl's little brother, Tyltyl. Miyazawa's novel was merely the inspiration for the train that takes them to meet the various "Luxuries" that teach Tetsuro (like Tyltyl) the true meaning of happiness.
