History YMMV / FutariWaPrettyCure

* 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.

* DieForOurShip: Poor Fuji-P/Shougo. Despite being a very minor character and a generally NiceGuy, Nagisa's crush on him is enough to make him utterly ''despised'' by Nagisa/Honoka shippers, with many seeing him as a bland and forgettable nobody who was only added by Toei to [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday remind fans that Nagisa is straight]] and that [=NagiHono=] isn't happening despite their LesYay. Unsurprisingly, given how minor he is, many fans prefer to just ignore him altogether in Nagisa/Honoka fanworks.

* BrokenBase: Also regarding Cure Black- do you like her design better with her [[BareYourMidriff stomach bared]] or not?

** 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.

* {{Narm}}: In the Latin-American Spanish dub, [[spoiler:Kiriya's MadnessMantra and ensuing screams after the death of his sister Poisonny]] sounded so fake that they ruined the scene for some.

* TearJerker: The Kiriya arc in the first half. He initially starts attending their school to steal the prism stones, but ends up gradually developing a bond with Honoka (even at one point secretly going against his sister to save her and Nagisa). It's when Poisonny, his older sister, is defeated that he accepts his fate and comes clean to Honoka about his origins. He challenges the precures to a fight, but quickly gives up when he realizes he can't bring himself to fulfill his duty. He ends up giving his prism stone to the girls and leaving with Iikubo to face his punishment, all while Honoka has to be held back from going after him.

* DieForOurShip: Nagisa/Honoka shippers prefer to not acknowledge the existence of Shougo, Nagisa's longtime crush in the show.

* FanPreferredCouple: Despite Nagisa's canonical crush on Shougo, most fans prefer to ignore Shougo and pair her with Honoka instead, due to their LesYay and PseudoRomanticFriendship. It helps that Nagisa and Honoka's friendship is front and center, while Shougo is a minor character.

* DieForOurShip: Given how popular Nagisa/Honoka is, it should come to no surprise that {{Yuri fan}}s prefer to not acknowledge Nagisa's longtime crush in the show, Shougo.

* FanPreferredCouple: While Nagisa has a longtime crush on Shougo, most fans prefer to pair her with Nagisa instead, due to their LesYay and PseudoRomanticFriendship.

* {{Macekre}}: Surprisingly and mercifully averted (while at the same time, being a combination of SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing and FirstInstallmentWins, for obvious reasons); 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.

* HoYay: Nagisa/Honoka is the FanPreferredCouple for this series. [[HoYay/PrettyCure And that's only the tip of the iceberg.]]

* UncannyValley: The Queen of the Field of Light is rendered in 3D, but her face is fixed in an unmoving smile regardless of what's happening or what she's expressing.

* {{Shipping}}: Nagisa and Honoka are the undeniable poster girls for friends shipped together by yuri fans. The RomanticTwoGirlFriendship cultural view may have something to do with this.

* RetroactiveRecognition: When Creator/RinaHidaka''' was a child, [[https://twitter.com/magicalgirlayu/status/1355127622624104448?s=20 she starred in a commercial]] for the ''Futari Wa Pretty Cure'' edition of the children's coloring toy Rakugakincyo. This becomes HilariousInHindsight when she played [[Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure Laura [=LaMer=]]].

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

* FirstInstallmentWins: Though there are fans of later seasons of ''Franchise/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.

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

* {{Macekre}}: Surprisingly and mercifully averted (while at the same time, being a combination of SuperlativeDubbing and FirstInstallmentWins, for obvious reasons); 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.

* MisaimedMarketing: For some reason, [[https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2018/06/28/theres-precure-lingerie-arienai there's lingerie sets based off Cure Black and Cure White]], completely ignoring the fact that A) the show is aimed towards kids and B) ''Nagisa and Honoka are 14-years-old when they became Pretty Cures.''
