   As I said in another post, the default is to provide English subtitles   
   and also Japanese and English dialogue tracks.   
   I have seen both series of "Last Exile" - the original and the more   
   recent Fam & Iri one.  I can confirm that it could loosely be described   
   as steampunk, and it seems to be very popular with younger viewers.
