History YMMV / SmilePrettyCure

*** There are also those who have a problem with the episode total of the dub. The dub has 40 episodes, Smile's episode total is 48, meaning 8 episodes will be skipped. The episodes skipped so far are the ones about Okonomiyaki, Manzai, and [[spoiler: Lily/Yayoi's deceased father]] (in the original run, they were episodes 10, 17, and 19 respectively). With about half the season left to be dubbed, people are concerned which of the 5 out of the remaining 25 episodes will be skipped.

* EnsembleDarkhorse:

** It really says something when the most popular character is a villain (Wolfrun), and not even the main one. It also says something when its first Toys/SHFiguarts figure is the EnsembleDarkhorse otaku character (Yayoi/Cure Peace) and not the leader.

** Yayoi Kise / Cure Peace. You know you're an EnsembleDarkhorse when you get '''six''' [[Toys/SHFiguarts action figures]] ''before'' the the team leader does, ''and'' you have more member favorites on your MyAnimeList [[http://myanimelist.net/character/53673/Yayoi_Kise character sheet]] than [[http://myanimelist.net/character/54009/Miyuki_Hoshizora hers]] by a factor of nearly 3 to 1!

** In a recent Japanese fan poll, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/precure/comments/42ktqv/cures_by_popularity_in_japanese/ Reika Aoki / Cure Beauty was deemed the most popular Pretty Cure in the franchise.]]

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Glitter Peace's catchphrase in the dub. "Puppies and kittens, the power of love!" '''BLARGH.'''

* Woolseyism: The dub's version Miyuki/Emily's "Kiai! Kiai! Kiai!" when charging up Happy Shower is her chanting "We've got spirit!" a lot like a cheerleader. Coupled with her saying beforehand that she almost made as a member of a pep squad once, it would be good way of pumping up energy.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Aside from the series animation being pretty good overall, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFMoyXOID3A first ending's]] CG animation is GORGEOUS, rivaling big-budget movies. The animated movements are also amazingly lifelike.

** ''Good grief'', the revelation of the ''Glitter Force'' dub. So far, despite the only big information released being that it's being made by Creator/SabanBrands, that at least 8 episodes are being cut, it's coming to Netflix, and that it'll arrive in 2016, many fans have already declared it TheyChangedItNowItSucks, declaring that it will instantly fail. It has also revived the DubbingVersusSubbing arguments, claiming that Saban should be "better" than this to alter things for younger kids. There are some who are cautiously optimistic because it's not someone like 4Kids doing the dubbing and there are some who are much more optimistic because, hey, it's a magical girl anime in America!\\
\\
The main argument over the alterations is the idea that, because the series was altered in such a major way, it will prevent ''Pretty Cure'' as a franchise to get a foothold in America. This is despite the franchise's first attempt, ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'', failed because it only aired in Canada and it aired in such erratic times, it was doomed to fail.\\
\\
With the release of the official trailer, things are still broken, but are a little more optimistic: when viewers realized that Creator/LauraBailey was the voice of Miyuki/Emily, people took it as a sign things would be a little better. Even more so, a few have taken the trailer to mean that Saban is doing this as their own version of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', what with the heavier focus on friendship (this coming out just as the series is going on an unknown-length-of-time hiatus is another factor) and others point out that the Saban of today is much different that the Saban of yesterday, pointing towards the dub of ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars''. There are still many close minded viewers, though, who are claiming it is doomed to fail, declaring that they aren't watching it and hoping Crunchyroll decides to pick it up and sub it.\\
\\
With the series fully out, the consensus is that it's a very solid show, even with the alterations involved. Many fans praise the voice acting done to Kelsey/Akane, April/Nao and Chloe/Reika (it also helps that these three also happen to be voiced by other [[Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey voice]] [[Creator/DanielleJudovits acting]] [[Creator/KateHiggins veterans]]) but have problems with Emily/Miyuki, Lily/Yayoi and Candy with the problems being Emily's voice being too scratchy, Lily sounding too old and Candy being "annoying". There are also those who find the talking during the TransformationSequence equally annoying, but this is something Saban's had problems with since they revived ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' with unnecessary talking. Universally, many agree that the dance sequences that isn't "Yay! Yay! Yay!" and "Mankai*Smile" look quite amateurish and creepy, though this is unknown if this is because the models used were made from scratch or the animator just wasn't talented.
\\
On the other hand, the same cannot be said with the Latin American Spanish dub, who was dubbed in Miami, FL by the same studio who dubbed the already controversial dubs of both ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyGodparents'' and ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', to the grade any discussion about the topic in some popular anime sites was banned.

** ContestedSequel: due to its episodic, goofy nature (to the point that it feels more like a spoof of the genre), childish writing (with both the MythArc and character growth being non-existent), Though subverted as it was alledgedly very financially successful (though mostly only with otaku).
*** Turns out, the reason for no plot is Shōji Yonemura, the lead writer of KamenRiderKabuto (which suffers from the same plot problems), also wrote for this show and wanted it to be "simple".
*** It really says something when the most popular character is a villain (Wolfrun), and not even the main one. It also says something when its first Toys/SHFiguarts figure is the EnsembleDarkhorse otaku character (Yayoi/Cure Peace) and not the leader.

** Pop is also loved for generally being much more tolerable and mature than Candy (see TheScrappy below)

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Episode 9 is an AprilFoolsPlot where Yayoi lies to Miyuki about becoming a NewTransferStudent somewhere else. This lie soon spreads to her entire classroom since Yayoi unable to say "April Fools!". Eventually they hold a "going away" party, and Yayoi is given the chance to admit this lie. However, she can't bring herself to do so because she imagined that it would go FromBadToWorse where everybody would abandon her for being a liar and that "They'll be really mad... They'll all hate her" and "nobody will talk to her anymore". The ''very next year'', a show called ''Manga/KotouraSan'' premiered with a DownerBeginning that pretty much made this nightmare a reality for its titular heroine in a [[PlayedForDrama much more dramatic sense]]. To top off the awkwardness, this doubles as an ActorAllusion--both Yayoi and Haruka Kotoura were played by Creator/HisakoKanemoto.

** ShipToShipCombat: Nao/Reika vs. Nao/Akane.
** OneTrueThreesome: Appropriately enough, their hair colors (red, blue and green) are the primary colors for screens.

** Episode 25 is pretty much dedicated to the Nissan Combination pair, Nao and Akane.

* SpecialEffectsFailure[=/=]TheyJustDidntCare: The final episode of ''Glitter Force'' Season One includes a new 3D CGI dance sequence. It looks incredibly amateurish and the models do not emote at all, so the characters have a soulless stare and CreepySmile

** It's been found that Saban couldn't trademark "Gangnam Girls" and they may be changing the title to "Glitter Force". Which is ''somewhat'' better. [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/prettycure/images/8/80/Glitter_Force_in_Kids_TV_magazine.png/revision/latest?cb=20150924210523 But, now]] [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/prettycure/images/3/37/Glitter_Force_Saban_Promotional_Poster.png/revision/latest?cb=20150924230855 that it's all but official]], there's another backdraft kicking up: is it real? Is it fake? Is it Saban trying to cater to the younger audiences or should Saban be ashamed for "butchering" anime long after the practice had "fallen out".

** The ''Glitter Force'' dub, along with some details thereof, has only just been confirmed, and already there are differing opinions about it before literally anything further was announced about the dub.
