Then again, the previous attempts were barely marketed to my knowledge so maybe some actual attempts to advertise the series might help get people to pay attention to it.

In fact, at this point I’d even take an official subbed release of some kind. The first season of Futari Wa is up on Crunchyroll but that’s it as far as I know. Let's go over the history in the west so far: The GF trademark was also apparently taken back in early 2017, before the Doki Doki dub came out. Don't know if Toei still has it (and if it's still active) though.

Speaking of dubs, what's the current status of Precure dubs internationally? I know Korea's still going strong, with their Mahou Tsukai dub coming out in March.

Taiwan dubbed A la Mode, though I don't know if they went any further. Albania is also hard to figure out.
