Let's gather some recommendations for hard or hard-leaning sf Cinemaphile media and discuss them. If this thread is successful, it might get turned into a general.
Here's a quick classification of what counts as hard or soft sci-fi: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SlidingScale/MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness but will consider making a pastebin document if this becomes a general.

>OP’s image is alchemical-fiction
animu, but Planetes is pretty ok.
Habitat by Simon Roy might fit the description
>Planetes
It's shit.
Better than anything recommended in this thread.
It's worse than most of the shit recommended in this thread. That's why I singled it out.
The Forever War by Haldemann and Marvano
Oh no, the sci-fi schizo is back.
No, I'm the one who suggested the hard sf Cinemaphile general in the last thread, and that anon is probably against it for some reason
Here are some recs from the last thread:
Animation:
>Pantheon
Comics:
>Arca
>Sky Doll
>The Expanse
>Dirty Pair
Not gonna read ARCA, too steamy for me.
I picked up a random issue of the Expanse comic thinking my knowledge of the show would ben enough to clue me in, and I was completely lost. I want to give Dragon's Tooth a shot some time, though.
So this means you basically gotta watch the whole show before reading the comics? Guess that's one show added to my watchlist
read the books instead, only watch space battles s4-6 (amazon)
Anybody read Mare Interum? I've been meaning to read it since it finished, but never got around to it.
The art doesn't look appealing to me, but the story may make up for it
Shangri-la by Mathieu Bablet is the closest recent hardish scifi I can think of. Others from my shortlist:
Ion Mud by Amaury Bundgen, picrel
Worlds of Aldebaran
Mare Internum
Cold Sun - more post apoc with slightly futuristic tech
Sky Doll
I liked the different take on alien forms/symbiosis but the ending felt too rushed.
Look at that c**t trying to make a good thread on Cinemaphile
It won't work.
Especially since it's a rec thread. You guys don't want discussion, you want to be spoonfed.
This sad fact doesn't help.
you've salted the board scihomosexual
Hey look it’s The Incal, Hi The Incal!. I want jodos Dune so bad so much!!
Metabarons comic is pretty cool too.
If you want old school hard-ish scifi comics, go for Jeff Hawke.
A lot of the very early scifi ideas can be found in them, those comics were the popular publications of things they wrote in literature, like ideas of Isaac Asimov and such.
I just remembered that Pantheon's first anniversary is two days from now. Time sure flies by
incal isn't even on the same plane of existence as hard sci-fi
i mainly read old dredd and sw comics
>sw
More like sJw.
I wouldn't call JD hard sci-fi. If we are at that, everything posted here is too soft for me (not like it's a bad thing). But with Dredd yeah, it's more of a adventure comics than it is sci-fi.
Most of these replies aren't hard SF.
there is no Hard Sci-Fi in funny books
hard boiled
