Himiko and the Galaxy Express 999

By Muza-chan on Jun 30, 2009 | In Did you know... | 3 feedbacks »

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.

The water bus is great. I wonder how long will it take before we have something like that here in the US?
