** In Spain, the series is actually better remembered than more successful magical girl series like the mighty ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure''. It helped the sheer effort it was put on adapting the series, as the distribution company invested a lot of money on its dub and even hired professional singers to perform the music themes (including the legendary Sol Pilas, who sang the openings of ''many'' anime series in TheNineties in Spain).

More cynical people could say that, while the show itself wasn't exaggerately successful, its soundtrack was.

*** In particular, the song "Assoluto Amore" (lit. "Absolute Love"), the replacement for "Return to the Sea", manages to capture Sara's character perfectly, being an ode to ThePowerOfLove [[LyricalDissonance sung to an angry melody with restrained anger]] and, near the end, subtly warning ''it can destroy the world''.[[note]]the lyrics are "L'Assoluto di un Amore può/cambiare i connotati al mondo". Literally it translates to "The Absolute of a Love can/change the world's face", but "cambiare i connotati" is usually an euphemism for "busting someone's face".[[/note]]

The Baby/Coral Fairy from episode 36.36.
** While significantly good overall, the Spanish dub sometimes has a hard time trying not to fall in TotallyRadical. The teenage lingo used for the dialogues was a bit outdated even by the time they distributed the anime in Spain, not to mention when one watches the series nowadays.



** The Italian dub. The voice acting is great, and the songs are possibly, even better than the Japanese ones. They completely substituted J-pop music for much more pop-rock, and rewritten the lyrics to match the new song.

If a work is hated in one region of the world but not in another, it's not DTD. There has to be widespread backlash (such that people won't even admit to liking it in the first place) to be an example of this.

** Some countries made Noel's color Indigo, as Aiiro (Deep-Blue), would be hard to translate, and make her too similar to Hanon. Technically, Hanon is aquamarine/turquoise, and not blue, but this often had to be changed too.
