Ah ;).. U31 was great too ;)...
I'm from Belgium, i've probably watched the same cartoons as you...
don't forget :
Albator (captain harlock): intersideral travels
Capitaine Flam : intersideral travels, AI, robotics,...
galaxy express 999 : immortality /robotics
Jayce et les conquérants de la lumière : transhuman
biotechnology/robotics
Ken le Survivant, dragonball Z : transhuman art of war
Les Schtroumpfs (the smurfs) : lilliputian posthumans
Les Transformers : transformation of the self
Le Village dans les nuages : transhumanist technologies
Alice au pays des Merveilles (Alice in wonderland) : virtual realities
Le Croque-monstres Show : transhuman bodies
Les Trois Mousquetaires (un pour tous et tous pour un) : iterated
prisonner dilemna
;))))
but seriously, perhaps we could discuss the most transhumanistic
cartoons we know of ??
