Castle in the Sky
Hayao Miyazaki1986
Through Steampunk
The defining steampunk anime: airship pirates, mining towns, and a lost city of floating brass. Possibly the most beautiful film in the genre.
Through Dieselpunk
Airships, mining towns and a sky pirate family. Often filed as steampunk, but its industrial mining valley and armoured air fleets make it a shared ancestor.
Through Solarpunk
A floating city reclaimed by gardens and birdsong, technology and overgrowth in tender, iconic balance.
