What counts as a steampunk anime?<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Now that we made a distinction of what anime is, you may be wondering how we categorized steampunk anime when it sports multiple genres. Basically, to be called a steampunk, any form of media should only meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n\t\t\t\n
  1. \n\t\t\t\n\n

    Is it set in a retrofuturistic setting, preferably a romanticized version of the Industrial Revolution or Victorian Era?<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n

  2. \n\t\t\t\n\n

    Do they employ the use of steam engines, like trains, airships, or weapons?<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n

  3. \n\t\t\t\n\n

    Do they use contraptions, i.e., anachronistic inventions or weaponry?<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n

  4. \n\t\t\t\n\n

    Are the iconic materials present? Copper, brass, leather, wood, and coal? That reminds you of steampunk, does it?<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n

  5. \n\t\t\t\n\n

    Are there class warfare or struggle present? Like many works of literature during this era, steampunk fiction usually presents topics such as the lower class competing against the upper class for resources and freedom. Class struggle isn’t the only theme that steampunks anime shows discuss here. Among others are people exploring beyond the boundaries of known human civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n

  6. \n\t\t\t\n\n

    Are there motifs that involve exploration, adventure, invention, experimentation, and the unknown? Borrowing from the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, many steampunk fiction showcases any of the above and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Now, those aren’t set rules when classifying a steampunk anime. Some have all of those, while others only present one or two steampunk elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fortunately for us steampunk fans, steampunk has some of the most recognizable icons, like anachronistic engines and robots, so we will definitely know it when we see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
