I recommend Samurai 7, and the Count of Monte Cristo Anime. I know they aren't steampunk, but great stories in those as well.

I hate it when people do this... he asked for steampunk, and you specifically acknowledge your answer isn't what he wants but you still said it.

In addition to the above recommendations. I can heartily endorse VISIONS OF ESCAFLOWNE and STEAM DETECTIVES.They have excellent Storylines as well Steampunk Connections

Along the lines of steamboy, it's a little more sci-fi but Akira is great, same production company as Steamboy. To go along with production companies, Castle in the Sky is a Studio Ghibli, so check out Spirited away, princess mononoke and howls moving castle if your interested.

Older but I loved Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind.

While not necessarily steampunk, there is a similar series to Last Exile: Shangri-La. The series was done by Gonzo who also did Last Exile, and the character designs were done by Range Murata, the same man who did the character designs for Last Exile.

Since this post, a sequel to Last Exile has been released... Last Exile: Gin'yoku no Fam

I'm watching it now. So far I prefer the original but am enjoying this series.
