You can stream Galaxy Express 999: The Movie (1979) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

In the future, one can achieve immortality by obtaining a mechanized body. Orphaned, young Tetsuro hitches a ride on the space train Galaxy Express 999 in the hope of obtaining a cyborg body to avenge his mother's death. Along the way, he meets Maetel, who is the spitting image of his dead mother.

A soulful, maternal warmth radiates through every line of the mysterious Maetel as she guides a desperate boy across the stars. This cosmic journey trades simple heroics for a melancholic meditation on what it truly means to be human.
