I didn’t know where to put this question since it’s about watching and reading. So for those of you who have watched or read カードキャプターさくら, which would you recommend? I heard the anime has extra content not in the manga, but that some people enjoyed that extra content (rather than it feeling like filler). But I also heard that the anime skips important details from time to time. I would have picked the anime for sure if it wasn’t so long, but 70 episodes is a bit long for me. Not that a 12 volume manga is short either!

Really, really tough call. I’ve read the manga and watched the show; they’re both good. I wouldn’t say there’s a significant enough difference in enjoyment or content between the two to make me decisively recommend one over the other. You can’t go wrong here, honestly.
If I were to do the whole series again as an adult, I’d pick the manga. More efficient storytelling and the art is peak CLAMP.

Nice to know both are good! The only experience I have with CLAMP is the anime adaption of Kobato, which I did enjoy. It’s true that the anime art does seem a bit rough, which I guess isn’t surprising given when it came out, but also good to know that the manga art is really good.
