History YMMV / WonderfulPrettyCure

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: The moral message of Nyammy's debut arc is to not use violence to solve the problems at hand, as the Garugaru are victims and ruthlessly beating them up is very much a bad thing. Many a comment section, especially western sections, are happy to see classic ''Precure''-style fight scenes because they are in fact cool in and out of context. It doesn't help that the ''Precure'' franchise has always been known for its action sequences, so many critics of this show see this as a return to form and the way of dealing with the monsters of the week in "Wonderful" fail to generate the desired emotions thanks to the fact that several of them are aggressive animals and even natural predators in real life. In addition, the battle techniques obtained from the Kirarin Animals are not related to either their abilities shown as monsters of the week or with natural abilities of animals in real life.

** The news that the head writer of ''Wonderful'' would be the long-time writer Yoshimi Narita was a bit divisive to the Western audience, due to concerns about her penchant for writing AgeGapRomance in the previous seasons she was in charge of (like Blue's reviled RomanticPlotTumour in ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' and the controversial TeacherStudentRomance between Coco and Nozomi in ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', the latter of which saw a resurgence in backlash when ''Power of Hope'' brought it back the previous year). Thankfully, these concerns were null and void once the series came out, and while the only possible romance in it is between Iroha and Satoru who are the same age, there is no hint of any age-gap romance.

* {{Moe}}: Human or dog, Komugi is ''adorable'' with her round eyes and cheerful disposition. This extends to the other pets, Yuki and Daifuku, too, although Daifuku hasn't been shown in a human form yet.

* HarsherInHindsight: One of the big complaints early on was that the series wasn't leaning on the franchise's typical usage of combat in favor of chases and hugs. Episode 12 finally shows us a typical fight but it's PlayedForDrama as Cure Nyammy is cruel and ruthless, showing no mercy on a more innocent creature despite it being your typical MonsterOfTheWeek.

* FanartAtFirstSight: For seemingly minor characters who so far only exist to populate a classroom, Kanie and Ōkuma '''instantly''' flooded the Internet with massive amounts of fanart for their cute designs, and much of the fan art is dedicated to them hypothetically becoming Cures themselves, akin to Waon from ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure''.

** There's also a slight one with ''Manga/FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd'' due to the two main characters (Iroha and Frieren) sharing the [[Creator/AtsumiTanezaki same seiyuu]], with a lot of crossover fan art between the two. It also helps that both anime both overlapped as well.

* FriendlyFandoms: Has a minor one with ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'' for both being tamer compared to their predecessors and involving dog and cat themed Cures. In fact, it's very common to see crossover fanart of Macaron and Nyammy, with Chocolat and Wonderful fanart being slightly common as well. Likewise, it helps that Toei has been releasing the entirety of ''[=KiraKira=]'' on their [=YouTube=] channel daily since the beginning of February, which led some fans to wonder (no pun intended) if it will have a crossover with ''Wonderful'' in the future, whether in the upcoming NonSerialMovie or within the series.

** When the opening was previewed, Western fans were equally dismayed as they showed the Cure chasing down tiny monsters instead of fighting, suggesting it'll be another ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'' with no fisticuffs or toned-down action scenes. Episode 1 promptly confirmed the latter action with what happened to the first Garugaru, with a Twitter post confirming the monsters will be dealt with via chases. Though considering that the monsters of the week are all corrupted animals, the choice to make them chases was likely intentional, [[FridgeBrilliance since]] fighting the monsters directly could be seen as [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animal abuse]].
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The fact that combat has been toned down significantly (with how the openings show the Cures chasing down monsters and hugging them), even compared to ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'' (where characters didn't use fisticuffs), has gotten some flack from fans who feel like it sucks out the spirit of the Precure series. However, considering that the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Garugarus]] are akin to abused animals in captivity, this was likely to prevent the UnfortunateImplications of the Cures engaging in [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animal cruelty]].

* AbandonShipping: After realizing that Cure Wonderful is actually Cure Friendy's ''pet'', a number of fans immediately pumped the brakes on any sort of romantic shipping between the two, especially when Komugi has more or less established herself Iroha's sister when she takes human form. Same thing goes for Cures Nyammy and Lillian. [[ValuesDissonance However, this sentiment dominantly applies to the international fans. The Japanese fanbase has no issue shipping them together still]].

** PetaCure [[explanation: The lack of attacks of any kind and instead having the Cures stop the GaruGaru by hugging them into submission has made viewers joke the reason for this is to avoid Peta getting on Toei's ass over accusations of encouraging animal abuse.]]

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Komugi to viewers is either an adorable, hyperactive cinnamon bun who has separation anxiety due to abandonment in the past and loves Iroha, or an annoying spoiled brat who throws tantrums whenever things don't go her way or doesn't get to do thing with Iroha.

* UnfortunateImplications: Komugi is full of these, with one notable instance in Episode 5 having her ask Iroha why she can't use a leash as a human, with there being absolutely ''zero'' way for any child watching the episode to be able to get a straight or honest answer from any parent.
