Both attempt sci-fi, except in TLR it is almost deflated. Lala keeps inventing gizmos and the only thing the narrative comes up with is the same exact comedic routines invariably involving the protagonist falling, with inevitable coincidences. Lala in Yami happens to be an AI in a spaceship that cares for children for one particular reason... Yami has so much depth to it, TLR tried to have bits of romance too, only to fall flat on its face (literally, often), whereas the romance in Yami can be funny and deep at the same time, with added existential complications.

They're both journeys to find something... an 'other', and both involve existential angst and issues with identity. Lain, though, lacks the romantic aspect (and has no ecchi whatsoever, but Yami, even with nudity animated, has the intellectual elements that Lain strived for). Yami is like the Lain if combined with Inuyasha and added innuendo. Lain is a bit more abstract, but crucially both contain inquiries about the nature of what one seeks and is.

They have parts set in Japan in the past (in Inuyasha's case it's the majority of the time); both have mikos (with a red lower garment, although in Yami it's more symbolic). They also have what seem like yokai (although the imaginative aspects are more pronounced in Yami), and both have romance (with different attractions). Yami is like the other if combined with Lain and added innuendo.
