Yo-suke Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Do you know a novel "Gateway". Its plot is similar to ONI. I think that you surely like it. - People live in an underground of asteroid. - The asteroid is a abandoned base of alien. - They makes town and facility there. - Bounty hunters use alien's spaceship to get a treasure. - Treasure is something useful scientifically in the remains of the alien. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(novel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoakenashi Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I have also seen a few anime that have similar premises or feel similar to ONI: Pale Cocoon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Cocoon Humans live deep within an underground structure with no knowledge of the past. The environmental equipment is failing and the population dwindling. One person attempts to recover information from a corrupted archive to better understand why they are there. (Read the setting and plot on the wiki, it provides a much better description that is much more ONI-sounding) BLAME! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blame!_(film) A small group of humans live in an ever growing automated city with an unknown number of levels. The machines that control the city have identified all humans as trespassers. Some of the people use special suits to venture into the dangerous areas around their village to bring back food.

Angpaur Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 There is a really good Polish comedy "Sexmission" It is about two scientists, who are chosen as guinea pigs for a time experiment: they are placed in hibernation and should be brought back to life after three years. In the meantime, however, the World War III breaks out and a mysterious M bomb is used that causes all man to extinct. Only women survive and they are forced to live underground, as surface is no longer habitable due to radiation. When they wake up, it turns out that not only 50 years have passed but also that they are the only living specimens of the male sex in a new, underground society composed exclusively of women. In the movie there are even same atmosuits as in ONI: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having this said, I would never think that this movie is similar to ONI of course, there is this underground base, but you don't feel this that much. I'd say "Martian" is much more similar to ONI, even if guy sets his base above ground level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that series long, long ago. Must be 25...30 years now. I quite liked it back then. I would not say it is close to ONI in setting though.
