So, is there anything else out there which even comes close to the wonderful high-fantasy worlds of Last Exile and Simoun?
Since when Last Exile and Simoun are fantasy? Last exile especilly is full of relatively advanced technology, not magic. It is science fiction and Simoun also is more science-fiction than fantasy, IMO. Maybe you mean fantasy/sci-fi with an interestingly developed setting/world? If yes:

Juuni Kokuki
Full Metal Alchemist
(the plot and characters of this series are overrated, IMO, but the setting is well developed)

As a consolation prize, since I'm currently basically only watching Toku and action/mecha anime, I'm also possibly looking for anything else that has similar excellent character drama and plot
Planetes
Mai-HiME (it's deceptively light-hearted and funny at first, though)
P.S. When I saw the title of the thread I thought you were looking for series with air battles and no giant robots but I guess I was wrong.
