The angle dependent magnetoresistance study on [001] and [110] La$_{ 2 / 3}$Sr$_{ 1 / 3}$MnO$_{ 3}$ thin films show that the anisotropy energy of [110] films is higher when compared with a [001] oriented La$_{ 2 / 3}$Sr$_{ 1 / 3}$MnO$_{ 3}$ film of similar thickness. The data has been analyzed in the light of multidomain model and it is seen that this model correctly explains the observed behavior.
