15 [Similar Anime] Like Cardcaptor Sakura

Want magic? Want comedy? Want drama? Want romance? Well, both these series might answer your wishes.

Shugo Chara! is really commonly compared to CardCapor Sakura. They're both magical girl series and the characters are roughly around the same age. But what's really similar is the complicated and unique romances taking place around the series. Nadeshiko is really easily compared to Tomoyo. Amu's two main love interests are a boy her own age and a boy older than her. It's pretty easy so see the similarities.

they are really simliar. the main charatersy are exactly alike in personality and appearance. they are both really romantic in a special kinda way :) but i think Syaoran is more "active" in the tsubasa chronicle series, and he shows more care about sakura too. I personally like Tsubasa chronicle a lot better :) there is also a second season tsubasa chronicle, if you watched tsubasa chronicle, you just HAVE TO see the second season and the moives ;)

Practically The Same Genre, Just Takes Different Apporaches, Nanoho Is Collection Gem's Like Inu Yasha Expect With The Staff And What Not, One Would Automaticly Think Card Captors, And As For Card Captors, It Collecting The Cards With The Staff.

They're both female protagonists with special powers. They're similar age and both lead completely normal lives (apart from having to hide their identity) when they're not fighting monsters!

Similar storylines. Both main characters are very cute, very caring, and have a little animal "sidekick" that has much information about what is being collected. Both Sakura and Sumomo adapt to the idea of having magical powers and having to search for the magical items in similar ways. In CCS they are collecting Clow Cards, in ND they are collecting Stardrops. ^O^ Sakura and Sumomo kinda look alike too. ^^

Similar artstyle (due to being from CLAMP) and design. Beyond that, both involve a world of make-believe (with involvement of supernatural beings with magical powers) within a realistic world. Kobato shares some similarities with Sakura, not only in terms of looks (Kobato looks like an older verson of Sakura with a different hairstyle), but part of her character such as cheerfulness. They are very loosely related at best due to these superficial similarities, but it is likely that both are enjoyable in their own ways.

The idea of magical girls in anime series is nothing new. Cardcaptor Sakura and Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya both explore that territory. They both involve young girls who uses and collects cards in battle against supernatural forces. Cardcaptor Sakura's cards has a deeper meaning though but both series maintains the magical girl trope well.

Both are Magic Shoujo animes, with the main girl character becoming the hero by obtaining some sort of magic power, which she was already destined to have. Also both series are filled with middle school kids and cute magical creatures. In both series there is a guy that falls in love with the main girl character even though they are always fighting with each other. ^_^"

Both have to do with magic, cute girls, and love. They are both aimed at the younger crowd of girls (9-14 guesstimated) and both are quite innocent. Though they have different plot lines, they have to do with love among family, friends, humans, and themselves. Oh, and they both have a small group of friends cheering them on

Both series have a main character who is a mahou shoujo with a cute (and yellow xD) pet that helps them to reach their goals. Both, Sakura and Yui uses different beautiful clothes ^-^
Both are a warm hit in the childhood for those who grown up in south america 20 years ago :')

Both series revolves around the magical girl theme where the main female protagonist gains powers after a certain event.

Madoka takes the magical girl genre and decapitates it. If you like the concept and you want to see your favorite characters succeed, find love, and well, LIVE, then a classic like Cardcaptor Sakura is what you've been looking for.

The story structure is fairly similar, though Cardcaptor Sakura is a lot more polished. Nevertheless, it's interesting to see a mahou shoujo show use the formula that became popular for the genre before Cardcaptor even came out. Animation is fairly good as it's by TMS Entertainment and the characters are pretty adorable. It's a fun, harmless watch that Cardcaptor fans will definitely warm up to.

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

Both of these are magical girl animes which follow the lives of lovable girls who transform into magical girls to save the day. They also feature male characters with some special abilities.
