Steampunk?

 Watching Last Exile made me realize that, though I dislike most mecha, I like most steampunk that I've encountered(I think Steamboy is the only exception, off the top of my head...there are likely others if I think about it, though...I just try not to dwell on things I don't care for) but don't seem to run across it a lot, even though I know there's a lot out there..

Anyone want to rec me steampunk or gaslight romances, be they anime, manga or books?  (And tell me if it's available in the US) 

ETA:  wikipedia's page on steampunk

I would put Escaflowne (the anime) in the steampunk category.

Really? I put it more in the straightforward mecha category...it seemed to focus on the mecha first, and the other technological aspects of the world second(I would have liked it a lot more had it been the reverse, or better yet, no mecha at all)
