The plot follows Tetsuro Hoshino, a young boy wishes to possess the body of a machine which will grant him eternal life and immeasurable power. Unfortunately for Tetsuro, he is very poor and the machine bodies cost a great deal of money. Rumor has it that in the Andromeda galaxy, the machine bodies are free. To get to the Andromeda galaxy, Tetsuro must ride the Galaxy Express 999 all the way to the end of the line. Tetsuro's mother is killed while they are trying to save money for Galaxy Express 999 tickets and he vows to continue with the journey. He decides to go on, and to kill Count Mecha, the man who ordered his mother to be killed. Tetsuro soon meets Maetel who offers him an unlimited pass to the Galaxy Express 999 as long as he travels with her. Tetsuro notices Maetel resembles his dead mother and decides to travel with her. Along the way to Andromeda, Tetsuro and Maetel encounter various humans and machines along their journey. When they reach the final stop, however, things aren't exactly as they seem.MORE
