It hasn't been mentioned yet for some reason, but the "Firefly" series and the follow up movie "Serenity" are great examples of steampunk.
.. i'd also like to add "Mutant Chronicles" to the list for one of the best flying steampunk machines ever.
Most Miyazaki Aime's are a good watch. Howl's moving castle, Nausica and the Valley of the wind, and Castle in the sky are all good steampunk(ish) movies.
>>1312Howl's Moving Castle and Laputa are like the epitome of steampunk movies. ..Well, Laputa leans more Dieselpunk, and Howl leans more fantasy, but still. :3
Yeah, Anime is a good place to look for steampunk themed series. Ergo proxy, gun x sword, and Steamboy are also good.
>>1314I can't agree with you. Ergo Proxy is more cyberpunk than anything and Steamboy is pretty mediocre (the designs are cool and the art is amazing, but that's it). I'd recommend Last Exile, though.
>>1315 Yeah, now that i think about it your right. Ergo proxy isn't really steampunk, but it's allot closer than Last Exile. But I digress. With the list being as short as it is, maybe it would be good to list movies/tv that could be considered close to steampunkish.

>>1315I actually tried watching Steamboy recently. With the exception of the cool vehicle designs, what a bad movie.
>>1316What? Last Exile is about as steampunk as it gets. Sure, the Guild is more like an ancient fantasy civilization, but that's a pretty common theme.
>>1319 oop's yeah, your right. I get last exile confused with a similar movie. Also, anymore non-amine movies/tv. I've already seen firefly, serenity, and mutant chronicles. I'm also going to suggest the series Fringe. It's not really steampunk. But if you like mad scientists, weird contraptions, and unreal science, you might like it.

Firefly?Steampunk?...More western inspired sci-fi than anything else.All of the sci fi is based on actual future tech, it's just on the frontiers that the tech level decreases, but isn't that understandable?Awesome yea, but steampunk? i'd have to say no.
>>1321 I find that statement to be a bit murky. first of all Victorian style and western style are incredibly close. as a matter of fact I would go so far to say victorian style is to Europe what western style is to America. On top of that Steam punk falls under the blanket description of science fiction. My point being; taking away cogwheels and adding spaceflight doesn't exclude firefly or Serenity from being considered stempunkish.

>>1322The problem is that the Alliance technology is pretty much standard scifi, it's just the outer worlds that have to build their stuff from the scraps they find.
>>1324And isn't that part of the essence of steampunk, a DIY mentality in the face of ever advancing technological change. Besides Most of the storyline takes place in the outer worlds. Anyway, when all is said and done it's a good series and a damn good movie.

firefly is in NO way steampunk. OP is a retard.
Memories: Cannon Fodder is an amazing short steampunk anime movie. Go watch it, if only for the visuals.
Walter Dillerchin you must have the some "perfect" idea of steampunk in your head... and very few suggestions would ever measure up to your ideals.... and i'm fine with that. But to resort to childish name calling with regards to nothing more than ones opinion is a bit underclass.I believe " Basil Dindergold" is pick'n up what i'm throw'n down, well done.
