Does anyone happen to know of this one-shot I remember reading a few years ago? The protagonist is some kind of AI tower that survives thousands or millions of years. I think either mankind becomes extinct and aliens eventually find the tower at the conclusion. Also looking for some other hard scifi manga recommendations outside of the usual Planetes , Futatsu no Spica...etc. Thanks!

Qualia the purple. One of the best hard Sci-fi that ADTRW introduced to me. If the plot isn't pulling you in initially, finish chapter 10 and then decide if you want to continue.

2001 Nights, a very Clarkian multi-generational space opera.

You mentioned Twin Spica, but I'm just gonna recommend it to everyone. Both heartwarming and tragic

There was a cool show (not manga sorry, it was a Light Novel adaptation) that I never hear anyone talk about called Starship Operators. Long story short: A planet with a navy of two warships gets attacked and one immediately surrenders. The other was out running training manuvers with a bunch of junior cadets and they end up refusing to surrender and start up a government in exile on the ship. Also they fund the war by selling the rights to thier story and having it transmitted as a reality TV show They take the space fighting very seriously, even if the relationships and TV plot stuff is kind of silly. Thier first engagement is against a mass driver installed on an asteroid, and it effectively has infinite ammo because it can keep digging up asteroid chunks, for example. Not a 10/10 show, or even a 7/10 show by any means but I enjoyed it just because it had some interesting stuff in it.

Five Star Stories is basically Dune with giant robots, I dunno how much is translated through and it's probably eternally unfinished (also like Dune).

I don't think all aspects of it were hard sci-fi, but Infinite Ryvius played it fairly hard when it came to how space combat worked. The first ep of the OVA To was hard SF, but the explanation is spoilers.

Sakurazuka posted:Five Star Stories is basically Dune with giant robots, I dunno how much is translated through and it's probably eternally unfinished (also like Dune). The rumor is that he will stop after he concludes the plot of The Majestic Stands. But given that we've been on that arc longer than Guts has been on a boat, it will probably take him another 10 years to finish. Personally I just pretend the story ended at the Atropos arc. Even during that arc Nagano stopped explaining a lot of the background info to readers and instead putting them into his supplementary magazine. He's always done that before but in the early books you can still get the gist of the stories. In the latter books it's basically became a game of guess which character is in this panel if you didn't read Tales of Joker. The series now is just the author writing what he wants to read instead of what's comprehensible to the reader.
