To those of you who have yet to see this anime, please allow me to make one thing clear: Sky Girls is not a mecha fighting anime. Yes, there are mecha, and yes, there is fighting; but those things are not the primary focus.
STRENGTHS:
1. Sky Girls is a character-driven anime. If you don't find the characters interesting, then you should consider dropping it. I say this because the first half of the series is focused on character development, which can be quite excruciating if you find the characters annoying or uninteresting. I, personally, found the girls cute enough to keep watching.
2. The second half of the series focuses on furthering the plot, which is well worth seeing.
3. Fan service. Crotch shots and bath scenes where only the area above the nipples are exposed. Very minimal, but adds a bit of spice (especially to male viewers).
WEAKNESSES:
1. You might find the girls a bit annoying or stereotypical. The way they act does tend get old in the latter half of the series.
2. Filler episodes. It's sad when a 26-episode anime has fillers. I recommend fast-forwarding through them. They really don't add much to the experience.
3. It drags at times, especially in the first 12 episodes. The only thing that got me through the first half of the anime was the fact that I was strangely intrigued by the girls.
CONCLUSION:
Try it out and see if you like the girls; because that's really the only way you can enjoy this series. Otherwise, don't bother. read more

Although Sky Girls is a Mecha series, the mecha doesn't take over the story line and make it over the top, which I found pleasant, and it lets the story go into more in-depth emotional stuff.
The main characters, Otoha, Karen, Eika and Elize, are all typical characters found in most every shoujo show at the beginning, but as the story is able to develop more their characters fill out and don't become standard anymore - especially Eika. Also, the three older girls get some kind of love interest, however incredibly subtle it may be, which is rare in anime as usually only the main leading character has a love interest. read more

Both are series about Lolis flying mecha, or mecha based objects.
Both feature strike forces of self-propelled flying lolis defending the planet from an alien threat. Similarly, these girls are around the same ages with similar character interaction and costuming between series.
Sky Girls and Strike Witches shares the same genre with a fairly similar setting.
Both series are designed by Mecha Musume creator Shimada Humikane. While Strike Witches is WWII oriented and focuses around magical girls with flying units on their legs, Sky Girls takes a modern approach with uniformed girls in exoskeletons. Both series have the girls fighting an unknown alien opponent with the best of their available technology though Sky Girls takes a more serious approach to the story while Strike Witches is shorter and more relaxed in it's atmosphere.
Both of these anime contain a group of girls which fly though the sky with the help of new techology with the intention of helping people and the destruction of an alien force which threatens to destroy the world. Sky girls is more serious while Strike Witches has more of an comedy element and includes the use of magic.

loli on mecha. you dont really have to say more.
Both of these animes pretty much share the same theme.
These two series aired a season apart in 2007, and are both about lolis on mecha. Sky Girls is, however, far better than Xenoglossia :]
