anime#13809

It has “Glitter Force” as the official/header title rather than “Smile Precure,” even though the former is only used by a dub that significantly alters the source material. Coming from a hardcore Pretty Cure fan, I think “Smile Precure” should be the header title with “Glitter Force” as an alternative. Plus in my opinion it makes it look like the dub came first, which it didn’t.

I agree, for titles that are better known, in English, by their Japanese name, I think they should be exceptions to the "official English release name" rule.

I'd also be fine with exceptions like with Smile Precure (Glitter Force) and DokiDoki! Precure (Glitter Force: Doki-Doki). It also just looks weird on the omnibus entry.
