- The Abridged Series: Has one by the name of Heartcatch Pretty Cure! A Bridging.
- Anime First: Like all PreCure series, the anime started first in February 2010, while the manga didn't release until a month later.
- Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: The book Drawing Fantastic Female Fighters, which features character sheets and concept art from this series and Fresh Pretty Cure!, states that Heartcatch is the first season to feature returning characters from previous seasons. The problem? That never happens in the show itself, only in All-Stars DX 2, which isn't even the franchise's first crossover movie. The book might have been confusing the show for HuGtto! Pretty Cure, which was released around the time the book was published and had cameos from Cure Black and Cure White in its 22nd episode and basically every single Pretty Cure to date in episodes 36 and 37.
- He Also Did: Besides her famous role as the voice of Cure Marine, Fumie Mizusawa is also a published novelist who wrote Kagurazaka G7: Gakeppuchi Cafe Kyuushutsu Sakusen Kaigi.
- Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": The girls' first appearance in North American shores? Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure episode 33, which has the team in a cameo appearance.
- Newbie Boom: Maybe it was some aspect of the series itself, or maybe it was because it happened to grab the attention of a prominent fansub group, but something caused the English-speaking Pretty Cure fandom to suddenly become huge during this series.
- Part of it could be due to a well-liked blogger posting individual episode reviews during its run, praising it up the wazoo every week, probably prompting people to check it out.
- Playing Against Type:
- Akira Ishida usually plays effeminate males. Cologne certainly doesn't look the part.
- Nana Mizuki playing a normal Magical Girl who also happens to be, at first, the weakest instead of a Dark Magical Girl as well as her Shadow Archetype Cure Blossom Mirage.
- Minami Takayama doesn't do crazy psychopaths often, but Dark Precure isn't the only artificially made psychopath she played.
- Portmanteau Series Nickname:
- Precure being a portmanteau of Pretty Cure, like always. And a perfectly canon portmanteau at that, considering it's right there in the logo.
- Also, amongst the Japanese fans at least, this particular series is known as "Haatopuri," or "HeartPre."
- Promoted Fangirl: Nana Mizuki loves the Pretty Cure series and was ecstatic when she's landed the role of Tsubomi.
- Referenced by...:
- Aho Girl: Yoshiko gets tickets for a PreChure movie, in which the protagonists resemble Blossom and Marine.
- Shinozaki-san Ki wo Ota Shika ni!: Kaede enjoys an anime titled HeartBreak PrePure.
- Sleepless Domain: Yuri Tsukikage's grave can be spotted among the Magical Girl graveyard.
- What Could Have Been: Originally, Nana Mizuki auditioned to play Erika while Fumie Mizusawa auditioned to play Tsubomi, only to switch roles once Toei realized how well they fit their opposites.
