Both are historical anime about the same historical period (shinsengumi). Lots of sword fights, serious topics.
PMK isn't as dark or brooding as Bakumatsu is, but both are historical fiction. In fact, both include the Shinsengumi. PMK focuses mainly on the Ikedaya incident of the Shinsengumi and follows 15-year-old Tetsunosuke Ichimura as he goes out to avenge the death of his parents (he also meets Ryoma Sakamoto, who, in Bakumatsu, is Akizuki's master).
The only negative thing I would say about this is that they over-exaggerate the blood spatter.

Both series are set in the same era in Japan's history with some overlapping characters like Toshizo Hijikata, Ryouma Sakamoto, Souji Okita, Kondou Isami and Tetsunosuke Ichimura. Both also have some characters who seek revenge on the one who killed their parents.. in a burning house.
While both are based on history they have fictional characters added in and Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto also has supernatural touches to it that are nicely woven into the story.
While Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto takes itself more seriously PeaceMaker Kurogane is slightly more light-hearted and comical.
These series are both enjoyable, especially if you like historical (samurai) anime!
