* ValuesDissonance: For various reasons (among them being heavier emphasis on gender roles and a general promotion of femininity for girls), dreaming about getting married and a love for wedding dresses isn't uncommon for young girls in Japan, and the series is marketed towards this demographic. Although there had already been concerns about the series promoting marriage as a woman's ultimate happiness in Japan[[note]]While the series doesn't contain any examples of pressuring anyone into accepting this, and its focus is more on love than marriage, it does happen to be quite gender role-reliant and it doesn't do anything to discourage this mentality[[/note]], the concept seems downright alarming to a Western viewer.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Although the series was a moderate success in Japan and earned a fairly comfortable seat in magical girl genre history, the anime was ''explosively'' popular in Korea, to the point where it received three entirely separate dubs in four airings and still maintains a fairly dedicated following to this day (the most recent dub was in 2013 in an attempt to gain a new generation of fans ''eighteen years'' after its initial airing, though it carries a bad reputation among more long-standing fans due to excessive network censorship that had come into play since then). The first dub's version of the opening song also happens to be one of the more prominent anime songs among the Korean anime fanbase.

Notably, the [[http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E6%84%9B%E5%A4%A9%E4%BD%BF%E4%BC%9D%E8%AA%AC%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A7%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC%E3%83%81 Pixiv article]] for it barely mentions the manga or its continuity at all. It's hard to say whether this is an ''adaptation'' displacement, however; the manga indeed ran for a year before the anime began, but the two are separate entities as part of a mixed-media franchise.

** Westerners might also question why a preference for physical violence and activity makes Hinagiku considered so masculine that she's [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon in danger of not being able to get a boyfriend]] considering that she still indulges in and enjoys dressing femininely, fangirls over cute boys, and is a fairly sensitive and emotional person. Other than some things LostInTranslation (she uses an almost exclusively masculine speech pattern and [[JapanesePronouns a hyper-masculine first-person pronoun]]), heavier pressures on gender roles in Japan mean that Hinagiku's blunt personality and hobbies would make her come off as unusually masculine. There's also temporal values dissonance at play here, too; characters like Hinagiku were not as common during the time of the series' run, and since then other works would produce far more stereotypically masculine female characters treated with less stigma.

* StrangledByTheRedString: The way it's initially presented, [[spoiler:Yuri's crush on Yanagiba]] had always been about as shallow as the other girls', and as soon as her [[spoiler:previous life's backstory with Limone]] (which had no foreshadowing at all) comes up they immediately become a couple without much development compared to the other two. It's slightly better in the manga, in which an extra chapter reveals the details of what their [[spoiler:past relationship]] was actually like, but it does so ''after'' the fact. Both versions eventually do build up what their romance ends up being afterwards, but the fact that it's done ''after'' their hookup is a little jarring.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The most frequent negative backlash against the series in regards to itself and ''Anime/SailorMoon'', as it was a particularly common (and scathing) criticism in Japan during its airing and tends to elicit this reaction when first presented to anyone who's familiar with the latter. Ultimately, its own influence on the MagicalGirl genre redeemed it somewhat in its home country, but it never quite escaped this stigma in the West, as it is indeed one of the MagicalGirl shows that resembles ''Sailor Moon'' the closest (not helped by the anime having the same character designer).

** The Korean dub renames the girls Lily, Daisy, and Peach (even in human form), renames Takurou to "Peter", changes "Momopi" to "Peanut" (which has NO similar connotations or pun-marks in Korean), and ''erases Pluie from existence'', using really bad cuts to pretend he's not there. The episode order is mixed up to the point where the plot no longer makes sense.

** In the Italian dub, the conflict was changed from angels and demons to aliens of the Crystal Planet and the Dark Planet, most likely to avoid offending religious viewers (since the show takes a lot of liberties on what angels are.) Added to that, Wedding Peach was renamed "Sun Rose," possibly to cash in on SailorMoon.
