* America is stuck with the first 26 episodes of ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]''. Why? Because Toei pulled 4Kids's ''[[One Piece]]'' license as punishment for doing to it the one truly Godawful dub they've ever done, and given that ''Ojamajo Doremi'' (as well as another Toei show, ''[[Ultimate Muscle]]'') was part of the package...
* The American ''[[Cartoon Network]]'' has yet to air ''[[Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z]]''.
* ''[[Kodomo no Jikan]]'' was all set for an English release by Seven Seas, under the title "Nymphet", until the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130601111108/http://www.gomanga.com/blog/01.php company president noticed] that later volumes in the series cannot be considered appropriate for the US market by any reasonable standard.
** To be fair to Seven Seas (and they were very open about the whole situation), they licensed the series after only a single volume had been published in Japan. The first volume isn't nearly as bad content-wise as what comes later. However, Barnes & Noble and Borders refused to carry it (the latter openly sold [[Yaoi]]) and - it was implied - threatened to blacklist Seven Seas if they published it at all. It was at that point that they finally got a look at later volumes and saw how inappropriate it got. Seven Seas has a staunch "no censorship" policy, so they decided they'd rather just drop the license and eat those costs rather than deal with the mountains of bad PR from either compromising their principles (the fans) or from publishing an openly lolicon book (everybody else in the world).
