Line 31:
** [[Slam Dunk]] as well among Filipinos, as the Philippines is infamous for being [http://www.aolnews.com/2010/06/10/pacific-rims-delves-into-basketball-madness-in-the-philippines/ basketball-obsessed] unlike any other nation on Earth.
*** There's also [[Lupin III]], which was such a mainstream crossover hit with normally non-anime-watching demographics, that it was even remade it as a short-lived licensed live-action primetime series.
* Major example in Japanese animation is ''[[Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin]]'' (known also as ''Silver Fang'', which may be considered sort of unofficial English title), which was released in most Nordic countries and Hungary in the 80's. While this release was dubbed and heavily edited, the series gained notable popularity at least in Finland (and probably at least in Denmark and Sweden as well). Eventually the popularity resulted in [https://web.archive.org/web/20170706132612/http://www.gingasite.net/gng/vhs_dvd_section/dvd_editions.html uncut DVD releases in Finland and Sweden in 2003 and in Denmark in 2006]. In addition to this, the animated adaption of the sequel, ''[[Ginga Densetsu Weed]]'' was released in both Finland and Sweden in 2006 just months after the series had reached its conclusion in Japan. While both series have been fansubbed in English, neither of them has had any official English release.
** In 2010, the manga version of ''Weed'' was released in Finland. This is beyond awesome for the fans.
* The English dub of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' is apparently a popular source for [[Fan Vid|MADs]] in Japan, many featured on [[Nico Nico Douga]]. [[Memetic Mutation|FUTAE NO KIWAMI AAAAAAAAH!!!!]], indeed.
Line 115:
* The first season of ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'' was a modest commercial success and cult hit in the US, even landing a brief stint on cable via the Independent Film Channel. In Japan, where the manga is more popular, the first season was sold as a ''[[Feelies|pack-in bonus]] for the [[Licensed Game|licensed games]]''.
* Japanese fans (and the creators) have pretty much forgotten about ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' and while it's not as popular as its sucessors ''Cowboy Bebop'' and ''Trigun'', it is still well liked over in the United States, even gaining the Anime Legends status when it was released in boxed set form.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130413044401/http://www.toonamifan.com/toonamioutlawretro1.html Here's] an explanation as to why the series did so well in the US.
* ''[[Doraemon]]''. While obscure in most Western countries, ''Doraemon'' is very popular in Portugal (and probably Spain), as it has been running for more than a decade non-stop and in the beginning of the 2000s was actually voted the most popular show of the network where it first aired, beating mainstream stuff like ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. A few of the movies have also been released over there.
** In fact it's one of the most popular animes in Spain. It's been broadcasted continuously since early nineties even in two or three channels at the same time. In fact, it's usually the most watched show on Boing, Turner's free-TV kids channel.
