Steampunk?

[meganbmoore]

 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)

Oh, and before I forget -- one recurring source of humor in Pratchett is a sort of comic-fantasy angle on steampunk, in which some blend of alchemy and magic is used to recreate technological items you'd not expect in a fantasy setting. This sort of thing is sprinkled throughout all the books -- you see it from the very beginning, with foreign tourist Twoflower's "camera" (a box with a tiny magic imp sitting at an easel, painting very fast) -- but it tends to be particularly thick in the Industrial Revolution (http://www.lspace.org/books/reading-order-guides/the-discworld-reading-order-guide-1-5.jpg) books.

Thanks to Pratchett, I have taken to calling a certain type of Infernal Electronic Device a "Gooseberry" instead of its usual name...
