Both are Lovable stories that follow two girls as they get stronger.The main characters, Misaki (angelic layer) and Sakura ( cardcaptor sakura) are friendly and kind. They are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in. As the story progresses, the two girls get better at what they do. Sakura at collecting clow cards and Misaki at playing angelic layer.The two main character's best friend, Tomoyo (cardacaptor sakura) and Hatoko ( angelic layer)are also similar in appearance and personality.
The art is similar. Both stories have to do with adventure and character develoment. They are fun to watch.
First of all, both anime(s) are by the same manga artists, Clamp. Oh, but there's more...
Both the main protagonist of the series are young girls who are learning powers and gaining confidence for themselves while growing up through various obstacles. She also makes interactions with other characters along the way to to discover her meaning in life and what she wants to be.
Friendship also plays a theme in both series and there are action, comedy, drama, supernatural/sci-fi elements and even romance.
Like Clamp's work? Like a little fantasy drama? Like some action mixed in with comedy and drama? You'll probably like both series then.
If you like the cute, kindhearted but somewhat ordinary girl who learns how to believe in herself and her abilities after going through various trials then both of these anime have that in spades. Both are similar in terms of character development and artistic style which is most likely because both are from the same studio CLAMP. While in CCS the main object is capturing the Clow Cards, in Angelic Layer is battling with mechanical dolls in order to reach the final. Angelic Layer is the lesser known of the two but it is just as good as Cardcaptor Sakura if not better.
