''Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream'' is the first animated adaptation of the ''Franchise/PrettyRhythm'' games by Takara Tomy Arts, animated by Creator/TatsunokoProduction and Creator/{{Bridge}}.

The plot is about 3 girls, [[NaiveEverygirl Aira Harune]], [[TheRival Rhythm Amamiya]] and [[TheAce Mion Takamine]], who are Prism Show stars and form a group named [=MARs=].

The Prism Show is an all-new kind of entertainment show that requires its participants to be figure skaters, models, and singers all at the same time. Aira and Rhythm are two girls who both dream of becoming the Prism Queen. They'll have to train hard and overcome both their quarrels with each other and their blossoming interest in boys if they want to achieve their dream.

%%* AerithAndBob: Rhythm, Sonata, Chris Kaname.

%%* BigEater: Rhythm.

* CatchPhrase: Aira's [[GratuitousEnglish "Happy Lucky!"]], Rhythm's "My heart is fully charged!", and Mion's [[GratuitousEnglish "Mion - switch on!"]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Aira (red hair and eyes) and Rhythm (orange hair and eyes).

* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Kaname is part of Rhythm's family at the end.]]
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Rhythm, and previously Kyouko, worked through Hell and back to perform the Aurora Rising, but never made it [[spoiler:(well, Rhythm manages to do it finally, but blows it by running off stage after her mother)]], while their more talented rivals do it happily.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Aira and Hye In are major examples.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Episode 46, between Aira and a far-gone Rhythm.

* MentorMascot: Aira's Rabbit-chi, Rhythm's Bear-chi and Mion's Neko-chi, the talking animal plushies.

%%* {{Nice G|uy}}irl: Aira, Rhythm, and Mion.

%%* PluckyGirl: Rhythm.

%%* RedOniBlueOni: Rhythm and Mion, with Aira falling somewhere in between.

%%* TheRival: Rhythm, to Aira (at first).

* RummageSaleReject: Rhythm, unlike Aira, has absolutely no sense of fashion, so she sometimes ends up looking like this (for example, in her date with Mion). She gets better.

* SignificantBirthDate: Rhythm and Aira were born in the same year, month and day, which was when an important constellation in their world, the Skater, was shining in the sky, binding them not only to a bright future in the Prism Shows, but to each other. Mion is initially bothered that this means that she's basically a third wheel, until Jun [[InternalReveal reveals]] that the Skater was also shining on the day she was born (funnily enough, she herself doesn't discover this until episode 45).
* SpoilerOpening: The 1st opening to ''Aurora Dream'' clearly presents Aira, Rhythm, and Mion as a trio, but they don't become such until over 20 episodes in.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Meat for Rhythm.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Aira in episode 2 was thinking how nice it was to be in Rhythm's company (cue DeathGlare from Rhythm).

The second season, ''Dear My Future'', is set three years after Aurora Dream and centers around a four member group known as Prizmmy☆ (Mia Ageha, Reina Miyama, Karin Shijimi, and Ayami Ooruri). ''Dear My Future'' also introduces five girls from Korea - Hye In, So Min, Jae Eun, So Min, and Chae Kyoung - who act as Prizmmy☆'s {{friendly rival|ry}}s, PURETTY. The season also introduces the new concept of Prism Acts, a special type of Prism Jump used to entertain the audience.

* AgeLift: Prizmmy and Puretty are based on their real-life counterparts; however, in order to target the show's demographic, Prizmmy was made two years older than their real-life counterparts, whereas Puretty was made younger.

* AscendedFangirl: All four members of Prizmmy☆ were at Aira's Prism Queen performance in Episode 50.

** In Dear My Future, there's Mia's "I'm number one!", Karin's [[GratuitousEnglish "Galactical!"]], Ayami's "Memo memo desu!", Shi Yoon's "Yeah!", Chae Kyoung's [[GratuitousEnglish "Celebrity!"]], and Jae Eun's "Pakupaku!"
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Jae Eun.

** In Dear My Future, there's Mia (red), Reina (black), Karin (yellow), Ayami (carnation pink), Hye In (scarlet), Shi Yoon (green), So Min (orange), Chae Kyoung (indigo), and Jae Eun (pink).
* TheComicallySerious: Mion.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Mia twice threatens to quit Pretty Top, both times because her [[spoiler: melon bread]] was stolen. First by [[spoiler: Aira]], and then by [[spoiler: Kyouko]]. To be fair, both of them just saw it lying on the table with nobody around to claim ownership.

%%* TheFashionista: Aira and Ayami.

* MaybeEverAfter: By the end of ''Dear My Future'', the series keeps it ambiguous as to whether [[spoiler:Mion and Wataru]] get together. [[spoiler:Kyoko and Jun are engaged, leaving Mion with nearly zero chance of dating Jun. Mion and Wataru now work together closely but their dynamic has changed very little. Wataru still acts as a DoggedNiceGuy to Mion, while she has yet to accept his feelings.]]

%%** In ''Dear My Future'', Mia, Hye In, Reina, Karin, Ayami, Shi Yoon, Jae Eun, Chae Kyoung, and So Min.

** In the second season, Prizmmy☆ and PURETTY are temporarily split into three different Power Trios to compete in a tournament only for trios.
*** Mia, Chae Kyoung, and So Min form the group [=COSMOs=], with the name coming from their first initials.
*** Hye In, Karin, and Shi Yoon form the group P&P, which represents the unbreakable bonds between Prizmmy☆ and PURETTY.
*** Reina, Ayami, and Jae Eun form the group Sprouts, which comes from Mion's idea of a new beginning.

** In ''Dear My Future'', Don Bomby, the regular MC of each Prism Show in the series, is actually [[spoiler: Kintaro Asechi, Kei's estranged husband]].

** Other teams competing against Prizmmy and Puretty are Tokyo Girls Wind and Dream 4, a parody of Music/TokyoGirlsStyle and Dream 5, two other groups from Avex. In episode 13, you can hear "Lolita Strawberry in Summer" by Tokyo Girls' Style and "EZ Do Dance" by Dream 5.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Greatful Symphonia" or "Grateful Symphonia?" Episode 16 of ''Dear My Future'' spells it as the former, while [[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B009EJ36YK merchandise]] [[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00AZSAEKI/ spells]] it as the latter.

* ThemeNaming: All four of the Prizmmy☆ members have last names that are based off the name of a butterfly.

* ShoutOut: Serena and Kanon's first performance outfit resembles Cure Black and Cure White from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure''. Their duo Prism Jump resembles their attack, Precure Marble Screw.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Not many examples in Aurora Dream. More noticeable in Dear My Future and Rainbow Live.
