Steampunk Anime Goes Beyond Fullmetal Alchemist and Violet Evergarden

Steampunk as a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy has always been a popular choice for many enthusiasts due to its unique blend of historical aesthetics and retro-futuristic sci-fi or fantasy concepts. This combination creates a compelling hybrid of themes and ideas that have proven to be a hit with audiences across various mediums.

In anime, steampunk-themed shows like Fullmetal Alchemist and Violet Evergarden have become household names among fans. However, there are many other series within this genre that are just as compelling and worth exploring.

One of these shows is Last Exile, an anime-original series that was released in 2003, only a few months before the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime. Despite its stunning visuals, unique story, and fascinating cast, Last Exile seems to have been largely forgotten in the collective anime consciousness, even with its sequel series released in 2011. However, the show’s 19th-century European-based technology and concepts combined with artistic flair make it stand out even after 20 years.

Another steampunk anime that deserves more attention is Tegami Bachi, a shonen science-fantasy adventure series that aired in 2008. The show’s emotional story revolves around Lag Seeing, a rookie delivery boy, or Letter Bee, in the world of AmberGround. Tegami Bachi’s unique blend of a medieval-esque world incorporating industrial era-inspired technology makes it a standout within the genre.

In addition to these shows, there are many other steampunk-themed anime waiting to be discovered or relived. From classics like Galaxy Express 999, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, and Howl’s Moving Castle to newer titles like Princess Principal, fans of steampunk anime will find plenty to satisfy their cravings.
