Galaxy Express 999!!!
Helen:
Volume 15 would be the Japanese edition from Big Comics, and is the equivalent volume to Viz's Volume 1 of the "Eternity" storyline. BC are up to volume 21 "Ginga Tetsudo Monogatori" which contains the side-story that lies behind the recent "Galaxy Railways" Anime. Viz are now two volumes behind (and flipped to boot! What - they think no-one will notice that two of the main characters have distinctive facial scarring on the *left* suddenly on the *right*?!!) ;-P However the Viz translation also leaves a *lot* to be desired in places...
If you read French, Kana, the French publishers who translated the Space Pirate Captain Harlock and Nibelung no Yubia ("Harlock Saga") manga, are translating GE999, but I'm not sure whether or not they started with the original series or not, postage from Amazon.fr being bleeping expensive - and me only on the other side of the channel! (and since the Japanese is furigana'd, not much point in buying a French copy to read! I already made *that* mistake with Versailles no Bara...)
The Japanese currently have at least two editions in print of the original series (Usually distinguished as the "Andromeda" storyline )- I've got the tiny, pocket sized Shonen Gahosha Bunko edition which runs vols 1-12 - and is gratifiyingly furigana'd for kanji-deficient novices... <g> Big Comics runs a smaller page count but a larger print size in 14 volumes (no idea if they're furigana'd though... editions can vary!) It's this latter edition that started the 'Eternity' Series directly after the orginal!
If anyone cares, a tankobun called "Space Natural History Mars Hotel" seems to be set during the Eternity Series, and Tetsurou, Maetel and Harlock show up for a few chapters - since this one turned up on my radar out of the blue, there could be a few other side-stories lurking out there that add to the story (which is getting more convoluted by the volume! He does like to waffle on, does Leiji-san...!)

I'm really digging the plot to this show so far, I'm pretty new to the Leji Matsumoto (Man I hope I spelled that right) shows, but they all seem really good so far. :)
psychogoatee:
LE, you rock for taking on a project as huge as Galaxy Express. I'll still be following your subbing of this series for years to come. ;)
aX:
Hey, need to ask about GE 999.
Only found episodes 1-7 subbed by Live Evil, but how many have u guys subbed, and where could i get the rest of them ?
Its been about 10 years since i last saw it...nice too see it again.
I could kill somebody if i`d get all the episodes with english subs.
gumbaloom:
Someone obviously can't be bothered to read other threads in this forum ne?
Oh and if you're asking for *all* the episodes subbed in English you'd be asking for HK bootlegs. Live-eviL does not support the distribution of HK bootlegs.
