I love that Galaxy Express 999 was this wildly successful children's series and every planet they visit on their whimsical adventure is either "the horrors of extreme poverty" or "crushing loneliness that no words can describe." A+

It's a reminder that kids are people too and popular stories for kids can be bleak and melancholy, it's fine.

Today's episode: Tetsuro meets a friendly guy with a wooden cybernetic body, how whimsical! Oh, he's from a dying world that's nothing but dead leaves. Oh, Tetsuro has to watch him him burn alive and gets another speech on the folly of seeking immortality in an impermanent universe. I love this show
