On this episode, we talk about Alita: Battle Angel, trans-humanism in media, and we discuss the oft-quoted, “More human than human line,” from Blade Runner. Alita just hit theaters on Valentine’s Day (or Singles Awareness Day for all the single people out there like us), and we loved it! In fact, we enjoyed it so much it spawned this discussion.
If you haven’t seen Alita yet, have no worries—there are no spoilers here. But seriously, what are you waiting for? Go see it! It’s based on the Gunnm manga, which was also adapted into an OVA, so you can also check those out if you’re not much of a theater goer.
If you’re interested in Propeller Anime and their Anime Night meetup we mentioned, you can find more information in the links below. They’ll be showing the Battle Angel Alita OVA on Thursday, February 21. Maybe we’ll see you there?
As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, be it on the trans-humanism topic, Alita, or any of the stories we mentioned in this episode. Show us how human you are!
