Since the "Netflix Original" came out today, I can finally confirm my worries... Saban, the company that owns Power Rangers, has officially butchered Smile Precure to any western audiences who will come across it for the first time.

Glitter Force, the show they claimed to be an original, is but a crappy dub to an amazing anime called Smile Precure. Think 4kids bad, except a bit worse.

They changed all the names, the voices don't make sense on some characters, they changed the demographic, and removed oh so many parts of each episode and whole episodes.

I don't have Netflix, but if there is some way to show how much you dislike a show on there, please do it for me.

Smile Precure was and still is very very popular over in Japan, but not much elsewhere, so it breaks my heart that one of the first times western audiences get to see it is through this godawful mess they call a dub.

Smile Precure is also a season from a 12 season series called Pretty Cure, where nearly every season is it's own thing. Smile is season 9 of this show. Pleeeease, I implore you all, watch Smile Precure instead of Glitter Force.

Oh and I forgot to mention it... Ya know that company that owns Dragon Ball Z? Toei Animation? This series is their second best selling show, only under Dragon Ball Z, which came out 20 years before Precure. Says a lot, doesn't it?
