History YMMV / FutariWaPrettyCure

* FirstInstallmentWins: Though there are fans of later seasons of ''Anime/PrettyCure'' (most notable so far being the fan-favorites ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'' and ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure''), the VocalMinority that screams "Ruined!" tend to give out this trope.

** Similarly, people thought that this show [[FirstInstallmentWins was the best one]] due to having the GoodOldFisticuffs toned down in later seasons, as the hand-to-hand combat have become just as violent as of ''[[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Heartcatch.]]'' [[note]]In fact, the violent action scenes ironically returned as early as the latter half of ''[[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Splash Star]]''. [[/note]]

** Cure Black's voice actress was a child actress before becoming a seiyuu, appearing in series like ''KamenRiderBlack'' and ''KamenRiderBlackRX''. This means Cure Black really is a Kamen Rider!

** Sort of zig-zagged in Spain. For a long time, the series was the hottest anime prospect in RTVE: it received an unusually expensive dub, was advertised ad nauseam, and its runs were succesful enough to distribute ''Max Heart'' and the movies (and even talk about bringing ''Splash Star'' and ''Yes! 5''). However, roughly three years since its emission, the channel decided to shoot the franchise dead and replace it with ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''. This caused that ''Pretty Cure'' as a franchise got forgotten not much after, though in turn it ensured ''Futari Wa'' remained as its only face in the memory of most Spaniards.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The Canadian dub is pretty popular in the UK thanks to [=PopGirl=]'s Daily Broadcasts, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork compared to the rate YTV back in Canada broadcasted the show.]]

%%* ContestedSequel: How some feel about ''Max Heart''.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: While it still gets acknowledgement of starting the franchise, due to the popularity of ''[[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Heartcatch]]'' which have [[ArtEvolution greatly improved artwork and animation]] along with over-the-top [[GoodOldFisticuffs hand-to-hand combat]] that rivals that of this series, and the [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar successor]] having been VindicatedByHistory. The idea of FirstInstallmentWins has pretty much faded.

** Shiny Luminous is disliked among a group of fans for "not being a Cure" and/or having a flat personality and doesn't fight.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The Mable Screw is known as the Marble Twister in English for [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything obvious reasons]].

* FirstInstallmentWins: Though there are fans of later seasons of ''Anime/PrettyCure'' (most notable so far being the fan-favorites ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'' and ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure''), the VocalMinority FanDumb that screams "Ruined!" tend to give out this trope.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: One main complaint against the series is the admittedly wooden and dull antagonists of the series, who tend to not have any of the interesting personality quirks the later seasons tend to have, with Kiriya, Uraganos, and the butler Zakennas being the notable exceptions. Somewhat understandable, as the franchise just started to get popular at the time.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Nagisa gets hit with this, especially for those who came in [[OldGuardVersusNewBlood during the]] ''[[Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure HeartCatch]]'' NewbieBoom. Some fans find her pessimism, constant whining, incredulity, arguments with her fairy partner, and selfish streak so long that she overcomes through CharacterDevelopment as a refreshing take of a MagicalGirl lead, while others are put off with the ''very same reason'' and the seasons in which she stars. However, many fans do agree that she's a {{Badass}} despite these traits. It also helps that Creator/YokoHonna is involved with the ''Series/KamenRiderBlack'' duology during her childhood years.

The same traits that her fans find refreshing in a magical girl lead -- pessimism, whining, constant incredulity, arguing with her partner and her fairy, and having a selfish streak a mile long that she overcomes through long, slow CharacterDevelopment -- put others off the character and the seasons in which she stars.

* LesYay: Nagisa/Honoka is, arguably, the FanPreferredCouple for this series.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Uraganos is this amongst the warriors of the Dusk Zone, due to having his own personality quirks. The butler Zakennas are also quite well liked for their bumbling-ness.

* HilariousInHindsight: Cure Black's outfit was modified a bit to cover her belly button after complaints from MoralGuardians. It's pretty funny now since succeeding Cures like [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Cure Berry]] and [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure Cure Melody]] show their navels with zero complaints.

* {{Macekre}}: Surprisingly and mercifully averted; with the exceptions of the opening and closing sequences being changed, use of English names in lieu of Japanese names, CulturalTranslation in certain episodes, and a few odd changes like Gekidrago's personality and Pisard/Pijard's motivation in his last episode, almost nothing was changed or edited out -- that's right, even the original music track ''and'' the next episode previews were retained in the English dub.
** It does help it was dubbed for Canadian audiences in mind, rather than American ones.

* TheScrappy: Pollun and Lulun's whiny personalities did ''not'' endear them to the audience. Pollun [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap became more tolerable in the sequel]]. Lulun, on the other hand...

* {{Woolseyism}}: The English Dub goes with MANY terms used by a notorious fansub group like Dark Zone, Dark King and so on. It also ads some of its own, most notably with the famous FirstNameBasis scene in episode 8.

* DeaderThanDisco: In Spain, ''Pretty Cure'' was once the hottest anime prospect in public television, receiving an unusually expensive dub and being advertised nonstop, to the point to getting a documentary about its production in Japan. The series's runs were succesful enough to import ''Max Heart'' and the movies, and even talk about ''Splash Star'' and ''Yes! 5''. However, roughly three years since its emission, the boom pretty much faded off, and the channel which owned the rights at the time, Clan TV, decided to replace the series with ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' and shoot dead all the future proyects about the franchise.
