We theoretically study the anisotropic magnetotransport in Dirac-Weyl magnetic junctions where a doped ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal is sandwiched between doped Dirac semimetals. We calculate the conductance using the Landauer formula and find that the system exhibits extraordinarily large anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR). The AMR depends on the ratio of the Fermi energy and the strength of the exchange interaction. The origin of the AMR is the shift of the Fermi surface in the Weyl semimetal and the mechanism is completely different from the conventional AMR originating from the spin dependent scattering and the spin-orbit interaction.
