So, 'Galaxy Express 999: Can You Love Like a Mother?!!' is an interesting entry in the franchise. It’s a remake of those pivotal episodes from the TV series, diving deep into the themes of love and sacrifice. The animation has this distinct charm, though it feels a bit dated, but in a way that adds to its character. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it builds up tension nicely, especially as the crew tries to save Artemis. That blue-haired woman has a depth that’s pretty compelling, and the whole scenario with the sentient blob is imaginative, if not a bit bizarre. It has practical effects that, for the time, were quite creative, giving it a unique atmosphere that stands out in the realm of 80s anime.
