Great question. There is no real difference between the two phrases as they both show that you're in agreement. However, "it is really" would need an adjective to make it a complete sentence, in this case "it is really uncanny. "It really is" is usually used to emphasize that we agree with something. Ex: A. It's the perfect day for a picnic. B. It really is. Ex: A. What a beautiful wedding dress. B. It really is.
