It's simply similar because it's yuri.
So, I recommend this to all yuri lover's like me :]
The graphics of each series is great, and both are Yuri/Shoujo-Aï animes!
If you like Yuri animes, such as: "Kannazuki no Miko" or "Maria-sama ga Miteru", than these animes are for you!
The plot is great, the music is good, and as said before, the graphics are fantastic!

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

The two are oddly similar in that they both have aspects of monkhood. They both have some yuri in them, with Simoun clearly having more. If you're into strange worlds, odd trials, and that slice of humanity that just can't be put into words, then Simoun and Haibane Renmei are for you.
These series both left me speechless. Not in a cliche, "beautiful wonderful" way, but just in the sense that I really didn't know what to think. It's an ambiguous melancholy that walks directly between intolerable and enjoyable, so I assume that one who enjoyed the unique atmosphere crafted by Haibane Renmei would certainly enjoy the universe presented in Simoun.

alot of similar characters!
when i watched my otome it reminded me of simoun in that both rely heavily on young girls to do the fighting

Both series are about girls that can control flying, magical machine-like things, with the purpose of defending their base/ideals/nation.
both have girls who have to fight in a war

Both series are about girls who pilot various vehicles that use some sort of modification to fly (Gravity mod in Stellvia, Time/Space mod in Simoun). Both have heavy use of integrated CGI. Both have similar music. Both have a romance subplot.

|
Both have lots of girls fighting in machines and Jinki has some yuri hints while Simoun is very yuri-ish
|
|
|
Last Exile has considerably fewer lesbians, but both Exile and Simoun take place in worlds heavily reliant on science-fictional or fantastical aircraft. Also, neither really allows their airborne characters to escape reality; you won't find many idealized happy results here.

It's both in the yuri gerne and both series contain a bit of mecha (though, it's just minor mecha. Both series focus on the relationships of the characters more.) Both shows have beautiful music and also have a lot of drama in it.

|
Both animes have very deep character development, unique style and, of course, gorgeous music.
|
|
|
Simoun has more lesbians and more flying things than Zero no Tsukaima, and Zero has more magic and less technology, but both take place in surprisingly complex fantasy worlds, both end up being deeper than they seem in the beginning, and both involve relationships that develop over the course of a series of trials and hardships.
