* SpecialEffectFailure: Team emblems are superimposed onto the characters' jerseys instead of being drawn on. The effect is obvious and can be off-putting at times, especially when characters move in such a way that creates folds on the jersey yet the logo doesn't fold with it.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The premise is an ice hockey, SliceOfLife, and IdolGenre mashup. Putting aside that hockey is ''extremely'' niche in Japan, the anime has much less in the way of actual hockey action than the premise would suggest (which turned away any pre-existing hockey fans), there are about five minutes of idol performances total across all twelve episodes, and the slice-of-life aspect suffers from the show dedicating time to the other elements. The Blu-rays flopped by most reports, and the ''[=PuraOre!=]'' mobile game that the anime was made to kickstart lasted a mere eight months before shutting down.

* DancingBear: Most everyone who bothers with ''[=PuraOre=]'' does so for the novelty of an ice hockey anime, hockey being a sport that is very obscure in Japan and thus has very few anime or manga focused on it.
* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: ''Smile Princess'' is loaded with new story content, but the hockey gameplay features extremely low-budget visuals, [[GamePlaysItself largely plays itself]] (with [[ArtificialStupidity frustratingly-deficient AI]] to boot), and is tacked on with little relation to the actual story.

** Aside from the fact that all of the critical Dream Monkeys goals are scored by Manaka, there is a strong argument that the story would work better with Yu as the protagonist, Naomi and Riko as major supporting characters, and the Embroidery Club members as lesser supporting teammates. Both Yu and Naomi have plots about quitting and later returning to hockey, whereas Manaka [[FlatCharacter has barely anything resembling a character arc]] and drags her friends into hockey on a whim. Unfortunately, Yu only has ADayInTheLimelight in the ''Preseason'' manga.
