Both animes are based on novels by Tomohiko Morimi and set roughly contemporary in Kyoto where Morimi is from. Both also have in common that they revolve around a youngish male protagonist. A love story is hinted at in both animes but it is not at the center of either plot. Because they are literary adaptations, the animes feel more like literature (albeit somewhat arti-farty) than like a classical anime. Both are fantastic. Yojouhan is more surreal partially because it is episodic whereas Uchouten Kazoku is a magical realistic family saga. Both are among my top rated anime. If you liked one, you are likely to like the other. The two anime are sufficiently different to enjoy them both without feeling they are just repeating the same thing.
