>>	Anonymous Sat, Sep 28, 2024 07:51:02 No.23852227 >>23852136 Hmm this reminds me to a cartoon with the same beginning. Symbiotic titan/Symbionic titan was the name I think. Sci-fi too, to put in few words it was basically evangelion.

>>23852136
There's several old tales from around the world with themes like that, people traveling to and from different heavenly bodies even fighting battles there. but I think the "early sci-fi" in the chart is supposed to be the first stories that actually read like proper science fiction, as in, speculation based on science and philosophical thought, and not just folk tales about how funny people live on the sun. Micromegas is probably the first story like that.
