Continue in this anime in 2003 dedicated to space railways stellar epic Leiji Matsumoto.
Those who know Leiji Matsumoto knows that the narrative genre in which he left a indelible mark is fiction, but it’s very far from the demands of verisimilitude and the technicalities of science fiction in vogue in recent years: the roots of the inspiration of Matsumoto are in a classical vein, where ‘ scientific aspect is only the backdrop fantastic element, the real protagonist of the manga works. No coincidence that in his most famous works carriers that accompany humanity to the stars are anachronistic means that just pull the “space” to be adjective acts to navigation sidereal: sailing ships from pirates and airships mixed with warships to Captain Harlock , armored ships of World war II for Yamato and steam locomotives for Galaxy Express 999 .
it is from the latter that draws the inspiration for this series, set in the same universe where the trains are vehicles crossing the galaxies and a metaphor simultaneously the inner journey that each person faces in life. We say that Galaxy Railways (in the original “ The Galaxy Railways ” or “ A tale of Railways Galactic “) draws “only” inspired by Galaxy Express 999 because the story is not connected to the events narrated in the predecessor, but takes place in parallel with other characters; beyond that from the point of view of the creative role played by Matsumoto is the producer of the series, leaving the task of the script at Hideo Aihara under the direction of Yukio Nishimoto . The protagonist of the series is Manabu Yuki , a young man who decides early twenties with disappointment the mother of becoming part of the Space Defence Force ( SDF ) , following in the footsteps of the father and older brother both died heroically in action.
As a member of the SDF his task will be to work in an operational nucleus called Platoon Sirio , in order to take action to address the threats from time to time involving the fleet of the Galaxy Railways .
Through a structure made mostly of self-conclusive episodes the exploits of Manabu you go to outline, following the poetics of Matsumoto, as a struggle against a fate that seems inevitable, but to which the young man firmly opposes.
Note in high style Matsumoto is the presence of a primary means of the series: the “ Big one “, the engine used by the Platoon Sirio . The design of the Big One is based on that of the Big Boy Union Pacific , a historic locomotive large produced in America in the ’40s .
