Very similar style in which they tell their stories. You see events from different perspectives and how everyone is related by the end of each series. They each may seem solely episodic but by the end you see the big picture and how everything fit together. They're both pretty psychological and delve into its characters minds to confront their delusions and problems.
All episodes technically fall within the same time frame with newer scenes often approaching older ones from a different perspective.
Both series have very unique art-styles, unique stories, and are great.
Trapeze, though has follows the personal struggles of several individuals who share a common psychiatrist.
Both use what seems like rotoscopy, first the filming of real objects and then animating them perhaps a little, or not much (or black-and-white). This is done far more often in Buranko, which attempts to indicate reality as opposed to the characters' inner subjective fantasies, while in Tatami it is more subtle; chemistry equipment, or even some rain, but ends up used much more later on in a similar vein as Buranko. Tatami rotoscopes objects more often, whereas Buranko uses it mainly with people themselves.
Unique art styles. Every episode focuses on a new surreal situation. Both are comedic and psychological in the same ways. Both are very fast-paced. I don't see how you could like one without liking the other.
Similar art styles, uses this medium to really set the mood in both animes. Both are psychological and delve into the mind(s) of the character(s).
Trapeze examines multiple characters and is more or less episodic. The Tatami Galaxy examines a nameless protagonist, and the plot comes more towards a climax at the end.
I don't think there's any other show that is somewhat similar to Tatami Galaxy other than Kuuchuu Buranko, both show human psychologically and will make you see stuff from different perspectives.
Eccentric art styles and direction.
Both follow the growth of characters facing the thing we call life. While Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei focuses on the protagonist, Kuuchuu Buranko focuses on multiple people.
Yojouhan has everything tied together at the end but Kuuchuu is more episodic and doesn't have a clear overarching goal.

Art style and animation resources are the main similarities. Unconventional storytelling, bittersweet conclusions and overall quality also.
