Both are wonderful slice of life animes about friendship and dreams with some comedy and drama.
While seemingly different at first, both series focuses around the theme of life revolving around the main characters of the story.
For instance, Ohana from Hansaku Iroha has to deal with the confession of a friend while Jinta deals with the death of someone he cares about.
Both series contain character development along with comedy, drama, an emotional like feeling as the episodes progresses as the story becomes somewhat like a journey from its pilot episode towards its end when the main characters says goodbye to what they've learned.
Both are practically the epitome of the genre called slice of life. If you can check any of the following bullet points you may have fun watching either of these anime.
- You get entertained if the plot revolves around everyday life and it's miseries/fortune
- You enjoy characters who don't act solely in a stereotypical manner
- You don't get distracted if it is episodic (at least hanasaku iroha)
- You like stories that contain interpersonal relationships and comedy

Dramas about life and finding resolve and a purpose. While not too similar at first, as both anime progress, one can see how the characters develop and grow as people as they come to terms with their past and present. They're both also beautifully animated and have some pretty stunning visuals of nature.
