Himiko and the Galaxy Express 999

Tue, June 30, 2009, by Muza-chan

When I took a ride with the water bus Himiko on the Sumida river, from Asakusa to Odaiba, I was surprised to see on the deck a few characters from the anime series Galaxy Express 999.

I found out afterwards that the ship was designed by a mangaka, the creator of Galaxy Express 999 and Captain Harlock, Leiji Matsumoto.

Himiko has a really great design, teardrop shaped, with a glass roof.

Atunci când m-am plimbat cu vaporul Himiko pe râul Sumida, din Asakusa şi până în Odaiba, m-a surprins faptul că în interior am văzut câteva personaje din seria anime Galaxy Express 999.
