Milky☆Subway Movie Unveils New Scene Photos as Creators Including Yusuke Murata and Gen Urobuchi Offer Enthusiastic Praise

The theatrical anime Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express Movie reveals new scene photos from its newly added segments, along with passionate comments from prominent figures across various creative fields.

Newly Released Scenes Highlight New Characters

Three new scene photos from the film’s newly added content have been released. The images introduce Asami, a new character appearing in the theatrical version and voiced by Kensho Ono, alongside Haga, voiced by Robert Waterman, and Ryoko, voiced by Mikako Komatsu, who joins them inside a police station.

Set during an emergency in which a runaway galactic express train bursts out into space, the scenes capture Asami maintaining a composed and carefree demeanor, Haga passionately speaking at length, and Ryoko showing increasing signs of fatigue. The contrast in personalities and the sense of distance and relationship among the three characters stand out.

In addition, comments have arrived from well known creators and personalities described as devoted fans of Milky☆Subway.

Comments From Creators and Cultural Figures

■Gen Urobuchi (Game Scenario Writer, Novelist, Screenwriter)
Nothing is farther away than the past. The Showa era scenery of my youth now lies beyond reach, in a distant eternity, no different from the far edge of the galaxy itself. Which is precisely why, if it is the edge of the galaxy, then Showa era scenery fits perfectly. This is a true sense of wonder born from a reversal of perspective. Perhaps the singing voice of Candies has by now traveled 45.9 light years to reach Star 47 of Ursa Major. I hope there is an Earth like planet there.

■Yusuke Murata (Manga Artist)
A unique Kameyama verse where grand space science fiction and nostalgic Showa era motifs coexist in perfect balance. The characters’ raw and lively exchanges. From departure to final stop, it was an instant of pure fun. Personally, I love the duo of Cart and Max, and I cannot help but hope to see them get caught up in new difficult cases and shine once again.
