Geneshaft's an anime. *Lots* of books more transhumanist than Geneshaft.</blockquote><div><br>Ah! I hadn't heard of that, might look it up. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
My girlfriend Erin would add "Ghost in the Shell" and she'd be dead<br>right, come to think of it.</blockquote><div><br>*nods* I've heard good things of that, on my to-watch list.<br><br>Another interesting one is .hack, which is a game and anime series in four parts, each game comes with one episode. I played #1 which was okay, fun in a quirky way, but got very repetitive towards the end, and I'm told it just keeps going like that for the other three parts; and watched the first episode of the anime which was very good, wanted more, would happily buy if they'd stick all four episodes on a DVD for a reasonable price; but given that the other three episodes only come one per game, I'm not paying 60 euro an episode for it :P
<br><br>Another one that comes to mind is Mai Otome. (Its sort-of prequel, Mai Hime, is also very good, but with a different theme; I can't really grant it even honorary transhumanistic relevance. I can still recommend it though.)
