green_trilobite is now re-watching the 2004 Astroboy tv series. Two things I've noticed so far:

1. The animation is gorgeous.

2. For a high-tech society, they sure don't take any trouble to do background checks - many of the plots turn on villains just showing up and asserting something, or claiming to be from a science foundation that doesn't exist.

It's possible there's only so much effort, funding etc, available for technological development, and that the universes that develop old-school space-opera tech and fully autonomous robots don't get databases or the internet.
