Besides sharing the same genre, both have female protagonists working to the future of their respective roles and accomplishing their missions. Although their plots are entirely different, the two series have a fair share of conflicts and purpose that pertains to their respective stories.
In Pumpkin Scissors the main character is fighting with tanks and other military people. On the other hand, Toshokan Sensou's is set in the future, gun fights are also a common thing and are no different of those presented by Pumkin Scissors. In the two animes there is the lead characters always someone that wants to be part of the team...And help each other.
Whoever is keen on breathtaking gun fights and the army, may be interestied in watching Pumpkin Scissors where the lead male character is constantly fighting tanks and which is more intriguing, he always wins. On the other hand, Toshokan Sensou's plot is set in the future, where in spite of the advanced technology, gun fights are also a common thing and are no different of those presented by Pumkin Scissors. In both anime, the main characters - Oland in PS and Aihara in TS, try to be a part of a team, despite the obstacles that stand in their way.

While they have somewhat different settings, i think they share in essence the illustration of inhumane warfare with drastic animation. Jin-Roh takes a more serious and realistic approach, but Pumpkin Scissors can be convincing as well.

Monolithic expansionist empires, machine-like armies, super-special units putting out fires in all regions f the empire...very similar motif.

I kind of like to describe Pumpkin Scissors as FMA without the alchemy. I think it's a really underrated series that should be taken a closer look at. Both series are very enjoyable to watch in my opinion, and they also have very similar military themes. Their worlds are pretty close in terms of technology as well. If you enjoyed watching FMA, then I think you'd enjoy Pumpkin Scissors since it does have a certain charm to it. Although I have to add, the ending for this series might let you down.
