It's always interesting to me what otaku stuff catches on in places that are neither Japan nor North America-- Prince of Tennis has never been anywhere near as big here as in Japan, obviously, but apparently it's a bit more popular in France.
Can you think of other cases like this, where a country in Europe or South America or elsewhere latched onto an anime that wasn't as popular in North America?





















BUT at Japan Expo we'll have Puffy Amiyumi and CLAMP and that's really more interesting :)
And Europe (Spain/France) was crazy (and still are apparently) for Rose of Versailles, and yet the poor US has never officially gotten it... I don't know if it counts by your standards, but it should. If you can get past the old school design, it's in my opinion the predecessor of the josei genre today.
@Joroidescons - ooh CLAMP :) That's a nice showing, they don't do appearances often.
