Requesting some information on a show called Galaxy Express 999.

I'm interested in it, but it's pretty long. In my experience, generally shows that run for that long fall into having episodic plots that aren't really relevant to the overarching story. I'm hesitant to call it filler due to the confusion with "filler arcs" in anime (which in my opinion can actually be beneficial if they make a point of threading them into the story and adding to it), but I suppose that's what I mean. Is this that kind of show, or does it do something different? I'm not saying it's something I wouldn't enjoy but it's not something I'm looking for.

While I'm at it, any other recommendations for shows (doesn't have to be anime) that are long but not highly episodic?

I haven't actually seen the anime, but from what I've heard on /a/, one of the biggest flaws is episodes that are reskins of reskins of previous episodes. It'll start to feel really repetitive after a while. But if you watch it on TV, or just one every week or something, it may be fine, I don't know.
But as I said, I haven't seen it, but a common criticizm is that it gets repetitive and recycles episode plots.

I see. Exactly the kind of thing I was worried about, so that's a shame. Maybe I will try it when I want to watch something slowly, though. Thanks for the answer.

I'm aware of this one but thank you for this as well. From what I've watched of it, it seems to be one of the greatest examples of what I'm looking for.

Galaxy Express 999 is now too old to be properly enjoyed, what you are seeking is Space Symphony Maetel.
