History YMMV / IdolXWarriorMiracleTunes

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The show is popular enough to get dubs in other Asian countries, but you'll be lucky to find fans of the original show outside of Japan and Asia. The "idol themed magical girls" concept of the ''Franchise/GirlsXHeroine'' series throws off Westerners the most; those aware of the negative side of the Japanese idol industry balk at a show about middle school students being idols, treating it as a "creepy" adult thing even though it's aimed towards kids. The show being {{tokusatsu}} also throws off a lot of Western fans due to it being a niche genre outside of Japan, Asia, and some Latin American countries. The show is also dismissed by some Western anime fans as a ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' [[{{Expy}} rip-off]]. This isn't due to any actual ripping off on ''Miracle Tunes''' part as much as it is Western anime fans [[SmallReferencePools not knowing about]] many StrictlyFormula, {{Troperiffic}} MagicalGirl shows for kids beyond Precure or Anime/SailorMoon. Don't forget about the GirlShowGhetto either!

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The show makes it no secret that Kojiro is gay, with Sopra explicitly asking Hikari if he is interested in men and Alm following up with, "Gender doesn't matter as long as there's love!" (The Italian remake, however, [[HideYourLesbians changes Kojiro's counterpart into]] CampStraight).

* EarWorm: "Catch Me!" is not only the opening theme to the series, but also the battle song, meaning it plays at least once per episode. Not only that, but there are four other variations of the song to correspond with the Sound Jewel transformations.

* CounterpartComparison: A lot of the comments on their Website/YouTube videos from Western audiences mostly consist of, "Is this ''Franchise/PrettyCure''?" or "This is basically ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' but live-action."

(The Italian remake, however, [[BuryYourGays changes Kojiro's counterpart into]] CampStraight).

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Out of the many Sound Jewels introduced in the show, we only really see the Hip Hop, Rock, Techno, Enka, and Crystal Jewels being used. [[spoiler:And even then, the Crystal Jewels led to Final Mode being used so often that it's pretty obvious that the writers had to create a plot point where Kanon's Crystal Jewel is stolen during the last quarter just so people wouldn't get bored of seeing Final Mode all the time.]]
* {{Woolseyism}}: The European Miracle Tunes remake turns the Enka form into the Flamenco form. Flamenco retains the "traditional cultural art form" aspect, but is more immediately understandable to European audiences.

** The above to *older* audiences outside Japan and Asia. The show did well enough with its intended target demographic and their parents. Miracle Tunes got a European remake because it was thought the "magical girl pop star" concept would appeal to young girls outside Japan too. So far so good for the Italian dub of said remake (and its accompanying [=YouTube=] channel).

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The show is popular enough to get dubs in other Asian countries, but you'll be lucky to find a Western fan. Most Westerners dismiss the ''Franchise/GirlsXHeroine'' series as being "cringy" and {{tokusatsu}} remains a niche genre outside of Japan, even among anime fans. It also doesn't help that Westerners have had a long, documented love-to-hate relationship with LiveActionAdaptation shows. Most Westerners also dismiss the show as a ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' [[{{Expy}} rip-off]] despite that MagicalGirl shows for kids are generally StrictlyFormula and {{Troperiffic}} in itself.

* CriticalDissonance: The critics praised the show to high heavens. However, if you're above the age of 10 and aren't a parent of a kid who watches the show, chances are you're going to bash it.

* ArcFatigue: The second half of the show suffers from ArcFatigue due to [[spoiler:the Demon King stealing Kanon's Crystal Jewel]] in episode 41. It's really easy to see that the only reason why this was done was because [[spoiler:Final Mode was introduced in episode 32 and pretty much made Miracle Tunes {{Overpowered}}, eliminating the need for the other four normal modes, Hip Hop, Rock, Techno, and Enka. Therefore, removing Final Mode temporarily would give Miracle Tunes an excuse to use the other four modes again]].

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The show is very popular in Asia, but you'll be lucky to find a Western fan.

* SleeperHit: The show got low ratings while it was airing, but the music and toyline were really popular and successful.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:Kanon, who is otherwise a GenkiGirl and a PluckyGirl, begins crying at the end of episode 41 and blames herself for losing her Crystal Jewel to the Demon King.]]

* PeripheryDemographic: Not only was this show a hit with the target audience, but parents were able to enjoy the show because the dancing and JapanesePopMusic elements reminded them of the GirlGroup Speed.

* GirlShowGhetto: This show was widely successful and helped bring back interest in live-action {{tokusatsu}} shows for girls, which had been killed off by ''Anime/SailorMoon'' in the 90s due to competing toy sales. Up until then, the majority of {{tokusatsu}} hero shows were aimed towards boys, such as ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', ''Franchise/KamenRider'', and ''Franchise/{{Ultraman}}''.
