Cardcaptor Sakura

Ultra Maniac is similar in the magical catergory in general. In CCS, it's centered on capturing the cards but it also focusses on when they're in school too. Ultra Maniac is more centered in school as well and they are both romance too. 

report Recommended by Chikkoi

Because they are both a lighthearted, good-mood, episodic magical girl show. 

CS and UM feature a young girl with magical abilities trying to live an ordinary life, but is forced to use their powers usually due to supernatural circumstances around them.  Both shows are primarily magic and school-life oriented, with a familiar balance of comedy, romance, and good wholesome fun. Some other similarities include art style, episode/plot structure, production values, adventurous nature, and more; making both shows feel very similar to one another.

If you like ultra maniac, you will definitely like CCS. Two shows are quite similar, though CCS much much better than ultra maniac. Both are romantic in nature with both comedy and slice of life. Ultra maniac is straight story, where CCS is very deep one. Both have late confession and very sweet confession. Ultra maniac is high school show where CCS is 5th grade show. Both have character development (again CCS is way ahead in this department). And please try to watch the Japanese dub with English subbed version if possible, because English dub ruined these shows (specially CCS).

Ojamajo Doremi addpermalink

Adorable is one word that describes both of these series, but there is a certain charm behind the two series which fills the viewer with a nice, warm and fluffy feeling. Cardcaptor Sakura and Ojamajo Doremi are in fact your classic Magical Girl series which hit all of the major plot point expected of a Magical Girl series, yet the fact they don't go beyond this doesn't mean the characters are any less charming and delightful, but there is a new adventure every episode.

Cheerful magical girl stories with sweet young girl protagonists with secret magic powers, filled with warmth and a lot of heart. Happy and sad moments are in both. They are both very good series with characters you will love. Cardcaptor Sakura is about mysterious magic cards, and Ojamajo Doremi is about being a witch-in-training.

Similarity 
- involve magic 
- have a mission in order to have normal life again

Difference
- Doremi and her close friends become witches
- Only sakura is card captor with a support from her friends and a boy from Hong Kong

Which one is better?
7/10 for both of them

These are two of the most comforting, sweet and gentle anime you can possibly watch (while getting surprisingly deep and hitting incredible emotional highs). They both share the "everyone is nice" atmosphere. 

report Recommended by DeathSmiles

If you worshipped one, you will worship the other. Both of these have a chill, nice vibe to it, with lots of fun episodes that you can't seem to stop watching. Both are extremely adorable, magical girl shows. Both have excellent character development. Trust me, you will grow attached to these characters in an unexpected way. Both these shows seem shallow and childish when you first hear about them, but they go much deeper. But, the only difference is that Ojamajo Doremi may get a little dark in the later seasons, unlike Cardcaptor Sakura which maintains a consistent tone throughout the story. Anyways, if you liked one, you will like the other most likely so give them a try. read more

A pretty obvious one, but both are of the magical girl genre. Both main characters, Maron and Sakura, have "magical" powers, little helpers that guide them, and rivals turned love interest. Also, both stories have well thought out plots, and unforgettable side characters!

Evil beings inside cards or paintings and the young, upbeat girls s(t)ealing them.
Friends, magical helpers and love interests starting off as rivals.
Late 90's mahou shoujo anime with cute/cool costumes and good vibes. 

report Recommended by RenaPsychoKiller

They are both aimed at kids and not of a mature audience; They are both about ordinary girls in school who suddenly develop powers to rid the world of evil (to capture something and they both say a magical incantation to seal something away that has similar hiding places in each show that both girls have to sneak in without being detected), they both have a male rival that is both a classmate and magical rival that only tries to help them out, though in KKJ, the romance element is more obvious as they share kisses and date whereas in CCS, the boy and girl never confess to each other, Both girls have a magical staff/key to help them focus their powers, both have a magical companion to help them along with their mission.....

If you like one, you might enjoy the other because they do have a lot in common with each other :) read more

they are both magical girls. In Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Maron Kusakabe is a magical girl who turns into a Magical thief. Also, relate this to Sailor Moon, It's the evil version of Sailor Moon.

Other than the obvious factor of Mahou Shoujo, Cardcaptor Sakura and Phantom Thief Jeanne have similar leads. Both being athletic and working on their own to capture some sort of supernatural being in each episode. There are other cast members as well including a male rival, best friend, etc. The banter and dynamics between the characters are similar as well.

Sugar Sugar Rune addpermalink

These titles are both long running series with primary themes of magic and romance. Following the antics of two young witches living in the human world, Sugar Sugar Rune is perfect for people looking to relive the comedy and mystery of Cardcaptor Sakura. The series is suitable for younger audiences, so don't expect much of a complicated plot. However, each episode brings with it a heart-warming moral and the protagonists, Chocolat and Vanilla, are incredibly endearing characters.

Chicchana Yukitsukai Sugar addpermalink

The greatest strength of Cardcaptor Sakura is its character development.  A series about a magical girl collecting cards does not seem like it would have a deeper story behind it, but it does.

The same is true for Sugar.  A series synopsis will tell a viewer that Sugar is about a snow fairy hoping to become a fully realized season fairy by searching for the kirameki, and a human named Saga helps her and her friends along the way.  One might expect an episodic storyline about childish trials and moral lessons, but the storytelling gets much more involved.  And character development shines through as a result.

Cardcaptor Sakura, for its time, had high-quality animation and a diverse soundtrack to keep the viewer's attention.  Sugar does the same with its bright colors and mood-engaging music.

A Little Snow Fairy Sugar is an all-year-round treat to watch, but it is great for the holidays as well.  Perfect for the anime-loving family but wholesome enough for an individual. read more

Little Witch Academia (TV) addpermalink

Happy feelings, friendship, cute art and magical girls. A happy anime to enjoy with the whole family good for kids while still super enjoyable for adults. Cardcaptor Sakura goes deeper in to its world than Little Witch Academia, and in my personal opinion I found both worlds to be extremely interesting and exciting yet not quite the same which makes them different enough to feel unique but similar enough to bring up the same emotions. There was no episode of LWA and CCS that didn't manage to put a stupid smile on my face, both are very charming.
The animation for both anime is flawless and the characters (main cast and supporting) are lovable and grow on you very fast! Story is heart warming and lighthearted (nice balance between being episodic at first, then going more and more with the plot, with a really good finale episode). Also, I felt the same thrill watching LWA as I did with Cardcaptor Sakura when I was a little girl. read more

Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura are known for being classics when it comes to magical girl, yet each of these series ended up setting standards for what the audience expects from the genre while also not pushing boundaries to the level some of the later, their strength being in the characters as well as the storytelling and thus they've stood the test of time.

D.N.Angel addpermalink

Cardcaptor Sakura is more "upbeat" and "shojo-ish" than D.N.Angel, which is darker and has more aspects of shonen, but both feature a cast of characters with magical powers. There are also quite a few characters with feathery wings. Plus, like D.N.Angel, almost all of the magical characters which appear in Cardcaptor Sakura are boys (despite the fact that the main one is a girl).

Childhood is a time of magic and imagination, but the lives of the two main protagonists - while magical - are definitely not a figment of their imagination. The two main protagonists are also strong female protagonists facing life and growing up. The tone for both series is often light hearted, rarely if ever straying from this, but both are considered by quite a few beloved classics.
