Both shows are based on their respective light novel series by Uehashi Nahoko, and both are presented in a style that is somewhat different from the norm.
Awesome animes made by Uehashi Nahoko. Fantasy worlds with great characters and great stroylines, Uehashi is really good at making me fall for his stories, I get stuck after just one episode. Both these animes are special and definetly favs of mine, so if you have watched one of them give the other one a shot!
Based on fantasy novel series written by the same author, both the shows have numerous subtle similarities in theme as well as the characters. The biggest difference between them is that serei no moribito is much more mature.
Both series are adaptations from novels by the same author(Nahoko Uehashi), made by the same studio(I.G).
Although Seirei seems more mature from the start and Erin has more of a pastel different sort of animation, both animes have a similar feel to them. They both take place in an historical fantasy world and heavily focus on the character development of both the child and their parent/guardian. Sometimes when Balsa's motherly side shows through reminded me of Erin's mother. There also seems to be quite a bit of herbology in both.
Both are made based off of epics by Uehashi Nahoko... Both transition pretty heavily into a larger-scale political epic, and both have women who are extremely strong. Albeit, Erin is stronger in a different way. If you liked Seirei no Moribito, you should appreciate the wonder and awe a new fantastical epic tale will give you. I believe Erin is a little more emotional, though, so be careful, this anime will make you feel things.
Both shows are based in books by the same author, and made by the same studio. If you want animes with great world-building and strong female characters, this two are for you.

This anime is written by the same author, and they have a very similar feel in many of the characters. If you like one you will probably like both.

Both shows has steady and calm pace, impressive world building, in which you can see a reflection of our own, but with it's own twist, and specific culture and traditions. In both stories the characters undergo a lot of development, and in the same way, their growth is evident in the end. Albeit being fantasy shows, they both remain very grounded into the boundaries of the created worlds, presenting it as plausible and comprehensible part of their everyday.
Both series tackles themes of parenthood and the slowly developing feelings of realizing it's importance.
