Campanella and Giovanni from Night on the Galactic Railroad!

This illustration is based on "Night on the Galactic Railroad", a work by the great Japanese writer Kenji Miyazawa.

I was fascinated by the somewhat lonely writing and the fantastic descriptions of the scenes.

What fans say:

Night on the Galactic Railroad:

Two anthropomorphic Italian kittens go on a trippy railroad adventure across the stars that definitely isn't some kind of Buddhist metaphor about enlightenment, death, and how to live. It's weird and atmospheric and aesthetically interesting and sometimes scary. It's *that* kind of kid's movie. And you can just TELL it's based on a classic children's novel, the vibes are off the charts.

Metropolis:

Beautifully animated with surprisingly smooth integration of both 2D cel animation and 3D CG environmental aspects, Metropolis is so clearly a labor of love — not only to the source material that it takes its plot from (the 1949 manga of the same name), but to Tezuka’s work in general — it features characters featured in plenty of his other work and there are plenty of references for fans to catch, but it’s also plenty enjoyable with no knowledge of anything he’s ever written. The jazzy soundtrack is immaculate, the character animation especially is top notch, the backgrounds are beautifully illustrated, and its writing and themes of transhumanism run deep especially for a movie with such a short runtime.

Night on the Galactic Railroad, Gisaburō Sugii, 1985

The Night on the Galactic Railroad gives off Hawaii Part II vibes. Decided to make an Au with mine and @snowpuff79 shared ocs.

We collaborated on the drawing.

Honestly a bit of an excuse to draw them as babies, just look at them!

"天の川" "Milky Way" The Hash Band

10余年続いている朗読演劇 "極上文學" シリーズの劇中曲のバンドライブ編。作曲：橋本啓一

Reading drama that has been around for more than 10 years, a band live of a song made as music in the "Gokujo Bungaku" series. ”Gokujo” means superb, and “Bungaku” means literature. Composed by Keiichi Hashimoto.
