Hi, I'm looking for some anime series with females wearing armor or some kind of battle suits.
I watched Fate and Claymore, so please do not mention them.

Kind of an old one, but the first that comes to mind that fits what you want is Blue Gender, dunno if you'll like it though, despite giving it a favorable score, I personally found it a tad boring.
Summertime days, passing gently
Sunlight, leading to an encounter;
Dreams that don't want to end
Continue onwards toward the next day
While she waits in the air.

Not my forte but I did watch this one and liked it especially the first half. The last half got a bit repetitive (it seemed no new tactics were being introduced so the battles felt rehashed):

Sky Girls

The gals wear minimal exoskeleton-type mecha called Sonic Divers that were at first meant for non-military use (though IIRC the higher-ups had other ideas all along). Pic of a completed plastic model kit of one:

I think Yattori wears light armor in Alderamin on the Sky.



Some of the women in Queen's Blade, especially Reina and Claudette, wear armor, though they often wear nothing at all.

Seconding Sky Girls and its mini-mechs. FWIW the story is more like a slice-of-life in my opinion, given its relatively slow and comfortable pacing.

The protags in Magic Knight Rayearth wear armor.

Record of Lodoss War is basically a D&D campaign in anime form.

Phantasy Star 2 Online the Animation features sci-fi takes on fantasy armor, drawn from its source game franchise.

Sword Oratoria's main character is a woman in armor.

Chain Chronicle has some female characters in armor.

Dog Days has some female characters that wear armor.

Lord Marksman and Vanadis has multiple female characters regularly wearing armor.

Frame Arms Girl has female characters in blocky, tech-y armaments.

The various Tales Of ____ anime adaptations feature female characters in armor.

The Tower of Druaga features female characters in fantasy armor.

.hack//SIGN has some female characters in armor, because it's set in a fantasy MMORPG.

The Nanoha series has "barrier jackets" (i.e. post-transformation magical clothes) that serve as the magical defenses for the characters, and some are patterned on various inspirations, from traditional real-life armor to mecha designs.

Leviathan the Last Defense has characters in what could be called light armor, I guess.



I could mention Aselia the Eternal or Elsword but both of those are just partial story adaptations and rather short.

Also Muv-Luv's pilot suit styles are ornate enough to look a bit like armor.

And some of Yuuki Yunna's transformations' clothing look like armor too.

But yeah, checking out fantasy series may help.

Also, how armor-like does the battlesuit have to be? Can it just be a bodysuit?

Females wearing armor/battle suits? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Bubblegum Crisis.

Also, like the poster above me mentioned, Symphogear.

Also, along the same lines of Aselia the Eternal (i.e. incomplete adaptation of a game), there's the Fire Emblem anime.

Come to think of it, I think the girls in Date A Live wear battlesuits in combat?

New to this season: There's Z/X Code Reunion, which features Rigel. She has...somewhat of a battle suit, I guess. Even has a transformation sequence for it.

Actually it seems the other main characters should get battle suits at some point. They just haven't been given them yet.

+1 Symphogear, Bubblegum Crisis, and Date a Live

Galaxy Fraulein Yuna has some armored girl scenes
Dragon's Heaven
Macross Frontier, if you count Klan's Queadluun-Rhea. She's a giant, so even tho it's the same size as the mechas the humans use, it's pretty much just bulky power armor to her.
Magic Knight Rayearth (fantasy armor with skirts rather than power armor)
RideBack kinda, but it's not worn. The RideBacks are motorcycles that turn into a bipedal form while still being ridden, but you may still enjoy this one.
One of the characters in Valkyrie Drive uses power armor but there isn't all that much armor in it besides that one.
