Reboot or sequel, how should a 999 revival be done?

>that dude she's kissing
Holy shit is this scene supposed to be serious or funny?
Whoever thought that such an autistic character design was good?
Why is his eye on his forehead? Why does she look somewhat normal while he looks like his head's made of playdough?

>>15475188
the whole point is that he's supposed to be not "handsome" while he's actually "manly"

Who cares?

This. They do change his design up a bit in the movie version, though.

Also, many artists of that time just drew really wacky and cartoonish characters.

Also, there was a revival done in the 90s, it's the Eternal arc of Galaxy Express. It takes place after the original manga, Tetsuro went back to earth and was imprisoned in a small room. At this point, most of the people on earth have become nothing but pigs. Maetel returns and rescues him from his imprisonment and Tetsurou also has a pet cat (Based on Leiji's own cat) and they board the Galaxy Express. This time their destination is planet eternal and they have a new nemesis, the Darqueen and the metanoids. They follow the GE999 at just about every stop blowing up planets one after another. The original run of the manga was published by Viz for some reason because they never did the original series. It ends on a cliffhanger in the original release but was later started again for 2 volumes before being dropped again, probably due to the magazine it was published in ceasing publication. A few years ago a novel called Galaxy Express: Ultimate Journey gave the manga an ending.

It's not as good as the original manga but it's still pretty good. But then again, nothing can beat the weirdly absurd original planets they visited. Although they do revisit some of those like Pluto.

Remaster

Leave the classics alone

id rather have a new Harlock series

They've done planes, trains, and boats in space, so this time it's fucking CARS in space. All the characters are new, except they look just like the old ones and have similar names, but the old ones get to cameo no matter how confusing that is. And it better be weird, silly, romantic, and depressing.

Finish the damn manga at least.

Now I want to post some nice old lewd of her too, but would be offtopic, damnit.

Is the Esmeralda in 999 the same Esmerald in Harlock, i.e. the Arcadia's widow?

iirc, the Emeraldas in the Harlock manga is actually dead

The Queen Emeraldas manga refers to Harlock I think, not sure if it actually showed him. There's also a one shot chapter that shows an abandoned Heavy Medler that mentions the Galaxy Express.

So basically there's like an infinite number of them and you shouldn't try to perfectly fit each one together, but each story seems to share similar events like Tochiro's illness.

People should also separate the anime franchises from the manga versions.

Why?
