History YMMV / PriPara

* FashionVictimVillain: Gloria. [[AnimeHair A gigantic drill hair]], [[WeaponOfChoice a vacuum gun with a name]], [[SimpleYetOpulent a purple royal[=/=]regal dress]], [[SilverFox and an old yet slender figure]] can really make you one.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: It may be an idol show aimed at children, but it has a satanic girl who uses magic to control others into acting bad and says "hell" OncePerEpisode, mascots who drink alcohol occasionally (and one of them run what appears to be a bar), a few sequences with the girls in revealing swimsuits, an adult woman going nuts over Michaelangelo's David statue while at a museum, two crossdressing characters, a baby giving three girls a golden shower, a girl who wants to commit suicide in order to get a dress, an elementary schooler who likes seeing boys wet the bed and a train that yells "Go to hell!" in the first movie.

* WhatAnIdiot: Any student who keeps bringing their [=PriTickets=] and other idol materials in a ''clearly [=PriPara=]-forbidden school''.

* UncannyValley: [[spoiler:Some think Falulu became ''creepier'' looking when she became a "real girl" as her eyes still manage to look quite dead and unexpressive.]].

* SeasonalRot: Season 3 can be considered this, and some fear the same will happen with ''Idol Time''.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Much like ''VideoGame/{{Aikatsu}}'', many characters suffer from this, with Idol Time being the worst offender. Not only did Mimiko never get a CG performance, but Shogo is the only WITH member to actually get attention as a character. [[WeHardlyKnewYe The only things we know about Asahi and Koyoi]] are that the former is more hyperactive, the latter is more calm, and that they were ChildhoodFriends.

** Also Yui's collored eyes and Meganee being a PerpetualSmiler in litteraly all stituations are considered creepy by some watchers

** [=TRIal=] Heart from the fourth movie won over a lot of fans, for using Mirei's vocals very creatively and having a compelling melody.
** The WITH boys's debut song, "Gira Galactic Tightrope", won over a lot of fans for its catchy electronic beats.

* TransAudienceInterpretation: Love is often read as a trans woman, as she have "masculine traits" and has insecurities with not beng feminine enough to go to Pripara, but once she goes she understod that she can still be cute and feminine the way she is.

** WITH can pretty much already be considered this for some, even before they had been properly debuted. Just like the M4 of ''VideoGame/AikatsuStars'', their importance in the plot is sometimes called into question and their status as male idols is a hot button topic. But after their first appearances they quickly won over quite a few fans, for having interesting personalities, having decent writing free of shipping drama, and getting a [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic very catchy song]] and CG performance in relatively short time. They even landed a whole concert to themselves, a feat unrivaled by other side characters in the series.

* FoeYay: Mirei and Sion.

** There's a growing number of fanarts pairing Amari and Mario from ''Idol Land'' together, even though the latter hasn't debuted yet, one could blame [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/prettyallfriends/images/0/0c/ILPP_Visual_3.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210829165337 the third official poster of the anime]] for that.

* Kuma and Usagi. They’re lifelong rivals, the only recurring male duo there is, they bicker all day and night LikeAnOldMarriedCouple yet have rare moments of caring, they’re both attracted by [[TheVamp Neko]] and see each other as love rival (on top of their current rivalry). That’s enough material for a HoYay couple, even if they’re literally ''stuffed animal''.
* As of ''Idol Time'', [[IncestYay Yui and Shogo]].

* FriendlyFandoms: Many fans of the show get along quite well with fans of ''{{VideoGame/Aikatsu}}'', ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''.

** Episode 171 reveals Garara's DarkAndTroubledPast [[note]] as dark as the fact of PriPara being aimed at children allows it to be, though [[/note]]: [[spoiler: Due to Falala being responsible for Paparajuku's Pripara during the day and Garara similarly during the night, the latter was completely lonely (with the exception being Pakku) and unable to perform lives and make friends just as her sister did.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Whenever anyone mentioned the opinion that boys couldn't/shouldn't get tickets, Leona looked very uncomfortable with that opinion the first few times. Later on in the series the sentiment and all the implications that follow isn't brought up or elaborated. That being said, in ''Idol Time'' a Pripara for boys (Danpri) got introduced, but there is no explanation why there is no Danpri in Parajuku.

** Garuru's 3D model has a cartoony face that doesn't mesh well with her relatively realistic body.

** Hibiki in the past [[spoiler: was very popular and had a lot of friends, turns out they were only her friends beause of her money and got away when her parents got into an acident, when turns out noting serious happend they came back as noting have happend, so she stopped beliving in friendship.]]
** Episode 171 reveals Galala's DarkAndTroubledPast [[note]] as dark as the fact of Pri Para being aimed at children allows it to be, though [[/note]]: [[spoiler: Due to Falala being responsible for Paparajuku's Pripara during the day and Galala similarly during the night, the latter was completely lonely (with the exception being Pakku) and unable to perform lives and make friends just as her sister did.]]

** Leona, when it is revealed that [[spoiler:he is a boy]]. Applies mostly in the Japanese fandom though (which caused a stir in 2ch), as the western fandom was merely surprised with it (and made Leona an EnsembleDarkhorse to some).

* BizarroEpisode: Episode 56 mostly goes against the typical flow of the series. Celebrity 4, a group of sexy, adult idols look incredibly out of place among the cuter character designs. They end up chasing the other characters in a weird pedal-controlled car through a forest and eventually force them to scale a cliff and essentially fight for their lives over a river that leads into a waterfall (which is apparently connected to the fountain at the heart of [=PriPara=]). All this in some alternate dimension designed to let girls sing and dance. Essentially, the entire point of this weird sequence of events seemed to have been to create an excuse for Mirei and Sophie to allow Laala to form a team with Dressing Pafe and Fuwari in order to participate in the Summer Grand Pri event.

* {{Fanon}}: A lot of fans hold the theory that [[spoiler:Leona]] is a trans girl or nonbinary, [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity despite the show never confirming it]].
** Given how one can potentially change their appearance in the [=PriPara=] universe, how some of Dressing Pafe's outfits consist of short shorts, and how idols in [=PriPara=] are pretty much entirely female with almost no exception, it's possible that Leona might actually [[GenderBender change genders]] to accommodate for the rules within [=PriPara=].

* FoeYay: Mirei and Shion.

** Hibiki. In the anime alone, she attempted to seduce Fuwari, Shion, and Sophie. While on a deeper level she also connected to both Faruru and Leona and genuinely seems to like them. In season 3 she is shown connecting to Chiri, a fellow celeb-type Idol.

** In comparison to his sister, Leona has several relationships that put him in this position. He is implied to have a crush on Meganii, has a close bond with Sophie, admires Shion (who in turn has said that she finds him attractive), and worked as the love interest to Hibiki in a film. Pepper also gains an immediate crush on Leona upon their first meeting.
** Mirei is also often shipped with Shion or Laala. Also she used to blush sometimes around Sophie and also Amamiya [[spoiler: and Amiya]] have a crush on her.
* LesYay: Laala and Mirei, Laala and Falulu, Aroma and Mikan, Mirei and Shion, Hibiki and Falulu, Hibiki and Fuwari, Sophie and Leona, Laala and Yui, Galala and Shuuka, Ajimi and Cosmo, Laala and Sophie...

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Much like ''VideoGame/{{Aikatsu}}'', many characters suffer from this.

* LGBTFanbase: Mostly due to characters like [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity Leona]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser and]] [[{{Transgender}} Hibiki]]. Also due to having a large female cast it have a lot of LesYay betwen the characters.

* AngelDevilShipping: Aroma and Mikan.

* LGBTFanbase: Mostly due to characters like [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity Leona]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser and]] [[{{Transgender}} Hibiki]]. Also due to having a large female cast it have a lot of LesYay betwen the caracters.

** Hibiki in the past [[spoiler: was very popular and had a lot of friends, turns out they were only her friends beause of her money and got away when her parents got into an acident, when turns out noting serious happend thhey came back as noting have happend, so she stopped beliving in friendship.]]

* LesYay: Laala and Mirei, Laala and Falulu, Laala and Mirei, Aroma and Mikan, Mirei and Shion, Hibiki and Falulu, Hibiki and Fuwari, Sophie and Leona,Laala and Yui, Galala and Shuuka, Ajimi and Cosmo, Laala and Sophie...

** Hibiki, fans either love her for her personality and ideals or hate her for the same reason. And then there's the whole UnsettlingGenderReveal thing.

** Only one episode into ''Idol Time'' and Shogo ''already'' became hated by a few people for his [[BigBrotherBully behaviour]] towards Yui.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Hibiki. In the anime alone, she attempted to seduce Fuwari, Shion, and Sophie. While on a deeper level she also connected to both Faruru and Leona and genuinely seems to like them. In season 3 she is shown connecting to Chiri, a fellow celeb-type Idol.
** In the manga she was shown kissing Laala's hand and flustered her.
** In fanon, Hibiki X Dorothy is also considered due to their interactions in the series.

* {{Fanon}}: A lot of fans hold the theory that [[spoiler:Leona]] is a trans girl or nonbinary, despite the show never confirming it.

* HoYay:
** Laala and Mirei, Laala and Falulu, Sophie and Leona, Usagi and Kuma, Aroma and Mikan, Mirei and Shion, Hibiki and Falulu, Hibiki and Fuwari, Laala and Yui, Galala and Shuuka, Laala and Sophie...
** In the ''Idol Time'' 3DS game, the WIT-H boys can play escort to any performing idol. As they're also playable, this extends to ''each other'' as well.
