Done by the same animation studio and while that doesn't really mean much the two anime still share a lot of other common factors, such as the slice of life atmosphere and the theme about challenging yourself by following your dreams even when they seem impossible to others.

Same studio and director so they have similar vibes. Both have pretenses as simple CGDCT anime but that hides some fairly heavy character drama with episodes allocated to each character's own drama. They are both great coming-of-age dramas with a tangible focus on finding new adventure in the world and within yourself as well as putting an emphasis on the value of friendship and doing things together. Hanayamata actually has the better animation and direction of the two whilst Sora Yori has the tighter, more relatable story that reaches the heart.

Both involve the main characters attempting to become stronger and less ordinary, with a group of other girls who share the same dream.
Hanayamata is also a Madhouse anime like SoraYori and has the same vibe, it focuses a lot on friendship.

Hanayamata and Sora Yori both have the same director, Atsuko Ishizuka, and have a similar aesthetic in terms of saturated pastel colors.

Both feature a high school girl who is overly passionate about something and dragging her friends along.
Hanayamata generally has a more light-hearted approach while A Place Further Than The Universe has a more serious approach.
