Steamboy is the most expensive animated film in Japanese history with a budget of some 2.4 billion yen (roughly $20 million). Steamboy is a retro science fiction film that has a very strong sense of design. Fall 2003 Release Date was pushed back until early 2004 due to Katsuhiro wanting the ending of the movie to be well done.

Ray is a young inventor living in Great Britain in the middle of the 19th century. Shortly before the Great Exhibition, a marvelous invention called the "Steam Ball", behind which a menacing power is hidden, arrives at his door from his grandfather Lloyd in the United States. Meanwhile the nefarious Ohara Foundation has sent men to aquire the Steam Ball so that they can use its power towards their own illicit ends.

Categories

Action Action anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. Airforce Anime with this category, like anime with Military as category concerns an organised armed force, but with the difference that they should primarily conduct aerial warfare.

Note: Just because the anime contains a bunch of planes or similar, unless the anime is actually about a fighting airforce, you might not want to add this genre.
Alternative History An anime that takes place in an alternative past is an anime that clearly does not belong to the future or the present, and isn`t tied particularly closely to our history, or has ties to our history but only as a premise: there are too many things that don`t make sense for the time-period. In some cases there is futuristic technology present, but the overall setting still feels that of the past. However the setting must still take place on Earth, since we can not know if the history of a fantasy world is an alternate one or not. Earth That big mud ball that most of us live on. Gunfights Fights where two or more parties are firing guns at one another. Military The anime concerns an organised armed force, and its members. Said body should have both the equipment and hierarchy found in military groups, and should ideally be actively utilising their power against an opponent. Characters are either employed as professional soldiers or enlisted on a volunteer basis, for ideological reasons. Navy As with Airforce and Military, this category is for anime that concerns an organised armed force, but with the difference that they should primarily conduct naval or space warfare.

Note: Just because the anime contains warships, submarines or spaceships, unless it is actually about those armed forces, you might not want to add this genre.
Power Suits Power Suits are similar to Piloted Robots which are controlled from inside the robot except that Power Suits tend to be more directly tied to how the character moves and they are usually not as big as Piloted Robots can be. They are still mechanical and shouldn`t be confused with plug suits. Sci-Fi Science fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from. Time: Past Anime that takes place in the past or clearly seems to take place in the past in case of an alternative universe. This category should almost always go together with one of its sub-categories, because the past can either be a depiction of a historical event(s) or not, in which case it would be alternative past. United Kingdom The nation that once ruled half the globe (British Empire). Origin of the English language. United States The United States of America (commonly referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, or America) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district.

Beautiful to watch. Painful to listen to. Worth at least one watch, particularly if you are a steampunk fan.

SIMILAR TO: (Laputa) Castle In The Sky; Akira

Starting with the visuals, I cannot emphasize enough the magnificent scale and grandieur. So much of the artwork dazzles you that at times there is simply TOO MUCH to take in. Coupled with not-too-shoddy animation (noticibly improving as the film goes on however), the breathtaking rollercoaster action sequences and gloriously atmospheric settings (both inside the Steam Tower and out in London & Manchester), faulting the visuals is being [...]

After missed the limited screening release in Australia, I was a bit disappointed as all my friends who saw it said it was excellent. So when the DVD came out, I purchased it without second thought. However, after watching it, I have to say I am disappointed. * Be Warn: Contain Spoiler

Animation:

The quality of animation is extremely high. The setting design is the of high quality. The London streetscapes and countrysides are realistic and detailed. From Sculptures work on buil [...]

Easily the best anime in many years. I really liked this movie as you can see on my ratings.

This movie cost alot of money and you can see that it was money well spend. The details in every seen is incredible. everything is painted and all the weird weapons and buildings mixed togheter with all real buildings of that era makes an interesting mix.

I can´t wait for the second movie, i hope its gonna be as good and beautiful as this one.

If you ever gonna se a [...]

I saw this movie from the big screen in Love & Anarchy 2004 Helsinki Film Festival, and though I normally do not write reviews, I thought I`d try this once to spare other people from disappointment. I very rarely see any anime from anything bigger than my monitor and Bio Rex has a huge screen, so I was quite excited, especially since I liked both Metropolis and Perfect Blue. Steamboy didn`t deliver though, and me and my (not anime fan) friend both left the theater glad the movie was over.
