History Anime / PrettyRhythmDearMyFuture

** In episode 19, the explosions that Rabitchi, Bearchi, and Nekochi keep running into are a reference to ''Yattermen'', another series animated by Creator/TatsunokoProduction.
*** Another ''Yattermen'' reference appeared in episode 24 as Prizmmy and Puretty enter the Prism Stone Maker.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Prizmmy and Puretty together make up 9 characters. Then, you have other semi-important characters such as [=MARs=] and Serenon with K. As a result, some of the characters get CharacterDevelopment while most are OutOfFocus.

** OutnumberedSibling: As far as everyone knows, Karin is the eldest in her family and the only daughter.

* ActorAllusion: In the preview for episode 22, which is the episode Yong-hwa debuts in, Mia keeps quoting ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', down to the TagLine "There is only one truth!", despite Reina telling her to cut it out. Guess who Yong-hwa's [[Creator/MinamiTakayama voice actress]] is?

''Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future'' is the second animated adaptation of the ''Franchise/PrettyRhythm'' games by Takara Tomy Arts, animated by Creator/TatsunokoProduction. Set three years after ''Anime/PrettyRhythmAuroraDream'', ''Dear My Future'' follows Prizmmy, a new [[IdolSinger Prism Star]] group consisting of Mia Ageha, Reina Miyama, Karin Shijimi, and Ayami Ooruri. Having been inspired by Aira Harune from ''Aurora Dream'', Mia dreams of being No. 1 and overtaking her someday. Aside from Aira, Prizmmy find themselves {{friendly rival|ry}}s to five international students from South Korea -- Hye-in, Jae-eun, Shi-yoon, Chae-kyoung, and So-min -- who debut as Puretty.

''Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future'' is the second animated adaptation of the ''Franchise/PrettyRhythm'' games by Takara Tomy Arts, animated by Creator/TatsunokoProduction. Set three years after ''Anime/PrettyRhythmAuroraDream'', ''Dear My Future'' follows Prizmmy, a new [[IdolSinger Prism Star]] group consisting of Mia Ageha, Reina Miyama, Karin Shijimi, and Ayami Ooruri. Having been inspired by Aira Harune from ''Aurora Dream'', Mia dreams of being No. 1 and overtaking her someday. Aside from Aira, Prizmmy find themselves {{friendly rival|ry}}s to five international students from South Korea -- Hye-in, Jae-eun, Shi-yoon, Chae-kyoung, and So-min -- who debut as Puretty. As Prizmmy and Puretty begin gaining experience as Prism Stars, they are also drawn into tournaments part of the Symphonia Series. The prizes from each tournament from the Symphonia Series are Prism Stones with rare clothing items that are part of the Symphonia Set. Wearing them gives the user the opportunity to do a legendary Prism Act called the "Grateful Symphonia", but a darker secret lurks behind the tournaments...

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Kintaro Asechi tries to reason with Mia and Hye-in that competitive Prism Shows would affect their friendships, while Prism Acts would put everyone on equal ground. However, because Mia and Hye-in value their FriendlyRivalry, which allows both of them to grow as performers, they reject his ideals.]]

* OutOfFocus: Because the series focuses on Prizmmy and Puretty, there are a lot of characters who are left outside of the spotlight.

** 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.

** Episodes 39 to 42 focuses on the Sky High Symphonia.

** Mia: "ICCHIBAN!!!" [[note]] "I'm number one!" [[/note]] and sometimes, "MIA GA ICCHIBAN!!!" [[note]] "Mia is number one!"[[/note]]

** Ayami: "I must take note!"

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Since Puretty is Korean, they do say some gratuitous Korean, but surprisingly not often, aside from Chae-kyoung saying "Gwenchana" ("It's all right!") and them sometimes mentioning "[[TrueCompanions jeol-chin]]." Jae-eun calls Reina "[[UsefulNotes/KoreanHonorifics unnie]]", but surprisingly, none of the Puretty members call each other this when they actually should. Another thing that sticks out is how Chae-kyoung calls Yun-su by his first name when she isn't calling him using an honorific.

** Mia: "I'm number one!"

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

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Unlike the other characters who were OutOfFocus in this series, Hibiki and Wataru get the worst of it during the Sky High Symphonia arc. To put it in context, [[spoiler:[=MARs=] is captured and all groups under Pretty Top decide to participate in the Sky High Symphonia to save them. Who are the groups? Serenon with K, Love-Mix, Prizmmy, and Puretty. There's only one problem: Callings is also still under Pretty Top, yet the story makes no mention of them and they do not participate, even though both Hibiki and Wataru would both have strong reasons to.]]

** Hibiki and Wataru barely make any appearances even though the series confirms that they are still Prism Stars and Callings hasn't disbanded. It gets especially ridiculous during the Sky High Symphonia arc, when the narrative decides to focus on Sho and Yun-su's rivalry advancing the phot without even so much of a mention, despite that they would be just as much emotionally invested about the events at the time.
