Infinite Ryvius was the debut of Goro Taniguchi - the director of Planetes - as a series director for Sunrise. Infinite Ryvius is, like Planetes, a hard sci-fi drama - though the sci-fi isn't quite as hard in IR. Both series play on both politics and angst. (And both series are very good.)
Politically charged, sci-fi drama with some action. While Infinite Ryvius focuses on the internal power politics of the spaceship at hand, Planetes addresses the ethical issues behind the ideology of science and capitalism. If you were fascinated by the issues of power and capitalist hegemony here, you will surely enjoy the political terrain underneath Infinite Ryvius.
Emotionally heavy Sci-Fi Space Dramas with great characters, touching storyline and some philosophical and political themes.
Infinite Ryvius is a little more Sci-Fi and Planetes has more Romance but both have plenty of that. Both are highly enjoyable and gripping series.

Another sci-fi story set in a futuristic society. Students aboard a ship end up having to assume control of it, and although there are some different spins on it, there are staggering amounts of similarities. I think if you enjoy one you'll enjoy the other. Because it is a longer series than Starship Operators they take the time to deal with the nitty gritty like food and water problems and other aspects of life that would be difficult to organize on your own with a bunch of amateurs.
Basically what the other recommendation between these two said. All in all, Starship Operators is kind of like Infinite Ryvius Lite.
Young ones, on a spaceship, fighting to survive in an hostile universe

I've been passing this recommendation around in my head for a while and I figured why not put it out there. The similarities might not hit you right off the back, they are structured completely differently, Bokurano is based around small arc for each of the pilots, while Infinite Ryvius focuses on the whole plot, but once you get underneath, they both are very similar.
Both shows present a large cast of unique children placed in a perilous situation against their will or better judgment. But mainly they share the same themes, responsibility, loss of innocence, power, and politics. You get many different ideas on each topic, which is very nice because I can't think of any of the hundreds of characters in either series that are similar.
On an interesting note, you can overlay the music for one on to the other one's OP and they sync pretty well.
Both revolve around children experiencing a dramatic event forcing them to early maturity. However, Ryvius has far better direction and storyline.

Infinite Ryvius was the series debut of Code Geass' director, Goro Taniguchi. Infinite Ryvius is weightier than Code Geass, but they both feature large casts and mecha action.
Both series have great intensity and drama withing their large casts of characters. Though their stories are not quite similar, they both take you on a joyride through the twists and turns in the plot. And the awesome mecha action.

I couldn't help but think of Infinite Ryvius while watching Eureka Seven. Although very different shows, the characters, interactions, and development between the two casts are very comparable. Both shows manage to develop a large cast very well, both with younger teen leads. There's also a lot of angst in these shows, but hey, people have issues right? The payoff for both is really incredible.

A bunch teenagers being thrown onto a mysterious space ship, and they found out their way surviving. Trust, betrayal, friendship, angst shown under various situations.
They were 11 deals only with internal conflicts, being a 90 min movie a lot development has to be cut short. Also rewatchability is a bit low when you get spoiled at the end resolution.
Infinite Ryvius being a 26 episode TV series, has a lot of time to develop its plot, and characters, despite the casts are huge. Teens in this series have to deal with outsider attacking and internal conflicts, so the story seems fuller than They were 11.

The main characters share the same personality traits with the twists. They both are based on space travel and a huge manmade spacecraft.

Both stories feature a basic "lord of the flies" story of a group of kids finding themselves stranded without adults and needing to find a way to survive their situation and eachother. Ryvius took place on a space ship with a large cast of children trying to survive military attacks over a huge misunderstanding. Uninhaited Planet focuses on a much smaller group of kids that crashed on a wild planet after the ship they were taking their field trip on blows up. It follows their trials and tribulations as they encounter wild monsters, pirates, alien organisms, unexplained phenomena, and even their clashing personalites.

Both are really dramatic and have themes of people losing it. Both have some romance themes and battles ( though there are more violent, shounen anime-ish battles in X ) and both main characters in each deal with the stress of lives in their hands

Sunrise, heavy space drama's, hard romances, incredible settings, and phenomenal music from the same composer. Superb quality in both and if you like Seikai no Monshou continue with its sequels.

Stellvia represents another solar system wide destructive event, and another group of girls and boys are asked to defend their lives in a never declared war against unknown enemies. Both are set on a peaceful Space Academy, quickly transformed forcedly into a military outpost.
Other similarities follows: an hidden and powerful secret weapon driven by students, background political intrigues, and the continuous fluctuation from individual competition to group cooperation strengthened by critical times.
