The film's war sequences are  hybrids of both World Wars, with massive airships and dreadnought-style  battleships that never existed, but evoke a sense of the past. This type of  technology has been present in steampunk precedents and steampunk itself since  its inception: consider the battle from Moorcock's \u003Ci\u003EWarlord of the Air\u003C\/i\u003E,  anthologized by the Vandermeers in their first \u003Ci\u003ESteampunk\u003C\/i\u003E anthology, or  the cover of \u003Ci\u003EFitzpatrick's War\u003C\/i\u003E with its endless rain of war machines in  the background. If we were to say that steampunk is a genre concerned with war,  we'd only be representing some steampunk texts, but not all: there are no epic  sky battles in \u003Ci\u003EMorlock Night\u003C\/i\u003E, or Rucker's \u003Ci\u003EThe Hollow Earth\u003C\/i\u003E.  Instead, what appears in all of these is some retrofuturist concept - an idea of  how the past viewed the future - in the case of steampunk, specifically how the  past of the nineteenth and early twentieth century viewed the future. Miyazaki's  designs for the war machines of \u003Ci\u003EHowl\u003C\/i\u003E fall squarely within this aesthetic  delineation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo is it the application of the steampunk  aesthetic that changes the themes of \u003Ci\u003EHowl\u003C\/i\u003E from book to film? Kimmich  argues the abandonment of the crosshatch element from the novel and the  inclusion of the war Ingary is waging as responsible for the major divergence.  As already noted, the steampunk aesthetic is utilized immediately, and Kimmich  finds the first 30 minutes of the film faithful to the book: steampunk is not an  impediment to crosshatch narratives, since Philip Pullman's \u003Ci\u003EHis Dark  Materials\u003C\/i\u003E employs a steampunk aesthetic in Lyra's world, to good effect.  Kimmich concedes the reasons for Miyazaki's rejection of the crosshatch elements  as being necessary in adapting the novel to film, since the film could not  create the same sense of unfamiliarity about our own world the novel achieves.\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/ghiblicon.blogspot.com\/feeds\/5576812754514831469\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=24969765\u0026postID=5576812754514831469\u0026isPopup=true","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/24969765\/posts\/default\/5576812754514831469"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/24969765\/posts\/default\/5576812754514831469"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/ghiblicon.blogspot.com\/2015\/02\/steampunk-and-howls-moving-castle.html","title":"Steampunk and Howl's Moving Castle"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"daniel thomas"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/115921935342890160367"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-xGsbK0k42n0\/AAAAAAAAAAI\/AAAAAAAAJU8\/eigGI1O_8F8\/s512-c\/photo.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_sy3UEYGx4HI\/TAa40kDDGmI\/AAAAAAAAAvk\/uYbos202oKk\/s72-c\/HowlWar.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-3196724021311853746"},"published":{"$t":"2014-02-23T22:19:00.000-06:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2014-02-23T22:19:14.494-06:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"castle in the sky"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"howl's moving castle"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"kiki's delivery service"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"my neighbor totoro"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"nausicaa"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"posters"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Art Nouveau Studio Ghibli Poster Designs"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
