It feels like most people don't even know the series exists, even if they're into anime. Magical Girl anime like Mermaid Melody, Shugo Chara, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Madoka Magica, and Precure are a lot more well known it seems

Probably the issue with people associating it with 4kids where it was known as Mew Mew Power which only covered the first 26 episodes.

Although fandom isn't the best layout it still has the most info on the edits made that i could find

Also as a fan of Golion/Voltron i find it hilarious that both series have a character named Ryou Shirogane

It's definitely not obscure. It was one of the highest rated shows during it's run on 4KidsTV and the manga was also a top seller for Tokyopop in it's original release. It was certainly well known enough to get a recent reboot made and the original anime is ranked at #1525 on MAL which is higher than Futari wa Precure at #3842.
