Both titles are the Yuri/SF highlights of their respective years, though Simoun is the more obviously sexually transgressive, being set in a world where everyone is born female and has to choose whether to become male at adulthood (the inter-species romance in Blue Drop between a human girl and an alien from an all female species doesn't look that way). Both are about relationships, tentative and tempestuous, against a background of war. And both transcend the lure of mere fan-service.
I am hesitant to make this recommendation as Simoun is so drastically different from anything else that I've seen so far. However, as superficial as the similarities are, the whole all-girl cast (barr one) and the war setting make them more similar than anything else out there. Certainly more so that Strawberry Panic ::rolls eyes::
Simoun and Blue Drop offer a mix of shoujo-ai and giant flying ships, a combination that does not occur all that often. In both cases there is a mostly female cast and a war backdrop that fuels the plot is balanced by the interaction between the several characters. Simoun is set in a somewhat fantastical world and follows the clash between religion and military accomplishments while Blue Drop takes place in a world that is more or less realistic

both have a new girl in town, Alians, 2 side story (normal life and sic-fic), fight or it's the end of the world.
Figure 17 and Blue Drop have the same basic setting in which a young and lonely female protagonist forms a strong bond with a non human girl. Both have a strong sci-fi element without discounting slice of life moments that introduce character developments as the story progresses. Blue Drop has yuri undertones that are absent in Figure 17 but they both offer a balanced take on daily life drama spiced with aliens and adventure.

Main heroines of both titles have to fight alone opposite alien invadors to save Earth and person they love. Both have quite tragic but not totally bad end

Both are similarly mysterious adventures involving aliens with a similar layout and cinematography style.

While Blue Drop invests a lot of time in devoloping a sci-fi plot that is utterly absent in Marimite, it remains that both titles have a strong yuri element. The slice of life moments that take place at an all girls' academy are present in both anime and draw them together, despite considerable differences story-wise.

Another angsty anime with yuri elements that is centered around a female boarding school, with its main focus being the relationship between a feisty newcomer and her mysterious roommate who appears on the surface to be too perfect.
