Well, certain aspects of it could be considered Steam Punk, I suppose. Their enemy is a very heavily industrialized nation, but the aircrafts the priestesses fly-- called Simouns-- are ceremonial machines traditionally used for offering prayers, and run on strange dual helices rather than steam. Still very cool, though. There's some good shots of them here in the opening credits.
Steampunk, at least for me, does not literally mean steam power...just any kind of sci-fi with a retro look.
Also, I read up all about it since commenting here, and it reminds me a lot of Last Exile, my favorite anime. So, I will check it out if I can find someplace that actually lets me watch anie not made in the 80s.
You know, I've always looked at your icons and thought that though the quality was kind of low, it showed some kind of...purity, I guess, that you made your own. And, if I remember correctly, it was your icon and a discussion in caps_atla that made me curious enough to find out about Simoun.
Icons are what represent you, so I've always preferred making my own. It feels more genuine, I guess. Though I have stolen quite a few from people like Angel, even if I only end up glancing/squeeing at them in my picture folders once in a while.
That's so awesome that me and my Neviril icon got you into the show! <3
First off--those AMVs were looooovely~ OMGINORITE? They will stay with me always.
And now I am interested in checking out this Simoun you squeed about! The characters sound wonderful. How long of a series is it? 26 episodes of amazingness. If you're okay with lots of girls making out with each other all over the place (for v. important, plot-relevant reasons, of course!... mostly.) then you'll probably like it! 8D
Can't wait for your fanworks, dear! *flails anxiously* I'VE STARTED ON A CROSSOVER. AND IT IS COMING ALONG SLOWLY. BUT SO FAR... I DON'T HATE IT? Also, I have not forgotten the Subaru/Tsukasa art I must do! I spent hours one night searching for pose inspiration, but I'm being sort of insanely indecisive about it, which is business as usual for me, sadly.
but if you wanted to know about any of mine, I'd be willing to answer~<3 What is "cut you down" from?
I just found it on Veoh, so I'll give it a watch ASAP~<3
OMGYAAAY. I CANNOT WAIT. If you need any help with anything, I'd be more than willing, dear! No, it's not an excuse to read it early! Take as long as you need on your picture--I know it will be utterly amazing when it's done.
Cut you down is from RomeoxJuliet, which I've been watching lately. Fluff, drama, everything! Juliet is also an asskicker who runs around swinging a sword in disguise to help innocent people (as seen in my icon)!
I just found it on Veoh, so I'll give it a watch ASAP~<3 OH MAN IT WILL BE WONDERFUL TO DISCUSS IT WITH YOOOUUU fghjkl;
RomeoxJuliet sounds wicked awesome. I want to see her cut some bitches! 8D
re: CROSSOVER OMG Thanks so much for the offer of help! I've always been too self-conscious about my stuff to have any of it beta read, instead choosing to drive myself half crazy hyper-editing over and over again. BUT! You (and our AU buddies) will definitely get to read it before it's posted publicly. <3

Ahaha, yay for fixed sound systems! :D
Memes are fuuuuun, tho! Can't wait for your fanworks, dear!
Hmmm, don't think I want to do the icon meme again--but if you wanted to know about any of mine, I'd be willing to answer~<3
