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.

Both detail a fairly large cast (of largely girls), with significant religious imagery and touching coming-of-age stories and rounded out conclusions that leave the right questions in your head afterwards.
