The new future TV 'ABEMA' will broadcast all 113 episodes of the anime 'Galaxy Express 999' for free in sequential order, starting from Thursday, April 16, 2026.
'Galaxy Express 999' is a sci-fi adventure work by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto, also known for 'Space Battleship Yamato'. Set in a world where humans can extend their lifespans to hundreds of years by obtaining mechanical bodies, the story follows a poor boy, Tetsuro Hoshino, who travels through space on the Galaxy Express 999 with a mysterious beautiful woman, Maetel, in search of a mechanical body. Since the TV anime broadcast began in 1978, all 113 episodes were aired, and the franchise expanded into various media mixes including theatrical anime, live-action dramas, and stage plays. As a work depicting a fantastical journey through space with philosophical themes and a poetic worldview, it continues to be loved across generations.
