The names are changed, but other than that, I hear that it's quite faithful to the original. Of course, I've only watched a little bit of the dub, so I can't give my own opinion. For me, the voice acting in the dub was TERRIBLE.

GF was a butchered dub, but at least they knew good voice acting (though a few of the voices were matched and the scripts had cringy dialogue) It's been such a long time since I watched that one clip of the dub, but I remember the only two well-voiced characters being the two protagonists: Natalie (Nagisa) and Hannah (Honoka). And takoyaki is called 'donuts'. Those are not donuts. If Glitter Force can say "okonomiyaki", there's no reason Pretty Cure can't say "takoyaki". Or "cake pops", if they really want to Americanize them. They ACTUALLY used the term donuts in the dub. Not kidding. really? Yes. Yes they did. The dub itself was uncut and (I think) followed the original story, but it was also heavily localized. Though the one that stands out to me the most was the takoyaki = donuts change.

Interestingly, the GF dub also localized takoyaki, but they became 'lobster rolls' or something like that. (You know, because people from the Asian Pacific (especially the Japanese) have NEVER heard of takoyaki.)
