Both these series has a genuin story, characters you really learn to like and they are flying in both series. Both main characters want to protect those who are close to them, and they both have a female flying with them. There are a huge storm in both series that they have to get through. Both series are great, and you should take your time watching them both.
Last Exile and Bonen no Xamdo share a similar sort of flying-ship style, as well as the broad sky travel theme in general. There are also a few scenes that bear some similarity to Last Exile's universe, such as the group of white-haired children.
Both of them are about piloting airships. They have a very similar concept....In a sense...
Range Murata is the man of the project, based on his draws and concept art, the two animes follow the same aspect but a little diferent storyline, one in the future, and the other in a near future.
Very similar setting, similar main characters (a girl, who can control a mighty power and a boy, who wants to protect her), some points in the plot are also very similar. Both are masterpieces and are definitely worth watching.
One is a steampunk adventure, the other is a steampunk fairy-tale, both making emphasis on splendid surroundings and fantastic devices.
While I was watching "Last Exile" all I could think about was how much this was like "Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water". Both series are steampunk, both take place on a big ship that is quote "the safest" or "most advanced" ship on the planet, the crew is a mystery most of the series, both involve planes, the plot is slowly revieled (for most of the series many things are unclear), both are heavy on character development and relationships, and they both have good drama and action scenes. Both series are even paced the same (well Nadia spends more time letting us understand the characters, and get's off to a slow start, but it's able to because it's much longer. Last Exile starts you in a very fast paced battle scene, so your running from the start, while in Nadia you slowly build up speed, and take long brakes in between ;) )

Even the characters are alike. The two main characters in both series are a teenaged boy and teenaged girl. The two boys both act alike, and the two girls act a like as well. The boy is really good with planes, the girl is a navigator, and they bicker back and forth a little bit, but are still great friends.In both series the main characters get cought up in a something that's way over their heads. The main characters in both series, befriend a little girl a little way into the show, the crews of both ships are very much alike ( Captian Nemo = Alex Rowe, Electra = Sophia Forrester [they even look and sound alike!!] ,Sanson = Ethan , Grandis Granva= Tatiana Wisła , etc etc, you could really keep going).

Just replace the sky with the seas in "Last Exile" and you have "Nadia" pretty much .

If you like one of these, give the other a try.

Both have Sci-fi type plots
Both series present themselves with adventures, but each journey also becomes a way to explore the psychologies of the protagonists. Wolf's Rain's ending has quite a different feel from Last Exile's, but in the end, the morals are very alike.
Other than energetic main characters, both anime seem to present a futuristic world divided between castes and the world ruled by a particular resource. For Last Exile, it's airship technology, whereas for Shangri-la, it's carbon. However, Shangri-la is set in the near future and has a strong environmentalism and corporate power issue brought up.
No I'm not mad there's one thing that they have in common. I mean Alex resambles Spike not only in deadly skills but both are deeply touched by past and thus shares only one reason to live - vengeance
One of the best CG arts in anime
Both involve the future and action scenes.. and gr8 relationship between two main characters
Both are Military features with old fashion planes and have a girl pilot..
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.
both occur in a post-apoch world setting involving the use of past technologies in order to survive, and require the discovery of ancient secret technologies to continue their civilization's lives and hope for the future.
In Glass no Kantai Gonzo tried to create a world of similar ambiance and intrigue as in Last Exile. Both anime feature fantastic and unworldly backgrounds and express the fate of empires in the actions of individuals. However, Last Exile is much better at it :)
Despite large plot and animation differences, there is something similar in the feel of these anime. If you're looking for something just like Last Exile/Ergo Proxy, this isn't what I am talking about. But if you like one, you may want to try the other. Of course the most obvious similarity is the cute little girl running around amid a world in chaos, but, more importantly both are about journeys navigating through different forces trying to manipulate the characters. Also, there a mystery (what is Exile and how is Alvis related to it/ what are the Proxies?) that is revealed as the series goes on. Neither story takes place in our world. Ergo Proxy has older main characters so it may seem a bit more mature than Last Exile, but neither dreadfully dark but by no means light.
Gentle and touching songs performed by Hitomi Kuroishi accompanying key scenes
While being very different artistically the styles are very similar. The era they're set in is almost identical (high-tech rennasiance) Neither are optimistic but both have compelling, deep storylines and great characters.
Aerial dogfights, lots of CGI. An unexplored setting with wars against unfamiliar foes. The story and characters are quite different though.
