* Xuxa Meneghel was a [[UsefulNotes/{{Brazil}} Brazilian]] pop star whose children's program, ''Xou da Xuxa'' (or ''Xuxa's Show'') became massive in her native country during the late [[TheEighties 1980s]]-early [[TheNineties 1990s]]. Soon, [[ExcitedKidsShowHost her show]] started airing and being translated from [[UsefulNotes/PortugueseLanguage Portuguese]] to [[UsefulNotes/SpanishLanguage Spanish]] in Spanish speaking countries as well as the United States on Creator/{{Univision}}. Come 1993, it was decided to bring her and her show to the United States in [[UsefulNotes/EnglishLanguage English]]. Despite the [[HollywoodHypeMachine push]] and even a doll her, Xuxa's popularity in Brazil and the Spanish speaking world couldn't translate well in America. Her [[ForeignRemake American show]], simply titled ''Xuxa'', only lasted for a single [[SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon 65-episode]] season in [[FirstRunSyndication syndication]]. One likely factor for why Xuxa failed to catch on in America was her poor grasp of English, which was often [[YouNoTakeCandle broken]]. Xuxa also struggled with singing live in English so she had to resort to lip syncing. Another problem is that on her Brazilian program, Xuxa was [[MsFanservice highly sexualized]] and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids dressed and danced provocatively]]. Naturally, on [[ValuesDissonance her American produced show]], Xuxa had to [[LighterAndSofter tone it down]] and [[TamerAndChaster dress less sexy]].

** Among American fans, ''Series/UchuuSentaiKyuranger'' is getting a nice following. Much of the love is owed to it being ''Super Sentai'''s first SpaceOpera plot, which has been the basis for two very successful ''Power Rangers'' adaptations. It's helped that this is also the first time that ''Super Sentai'' production has worked with ''Power Rangers'' production and that, despite the team starting at nine members, each of them seems unique, fleshed out, and fun. Until Hasbro took over the franchise, Bandai was apparently looking to skip ''Series/DobutsuSentaiZyuohger'' in favor of adapting ''Kyuranger'' for the next season of ''Power Rangers'', since ''Zyuohger'' had a mixed reception among US Sentai and Ranger fans; and the [[MerchandiseDriven tie-in toyline]] may be more appealing with a motif of space travel instead of blocky animals. It eventually got adapted (sort-of) as ''Power Rangers Cosmic Fury'', a direct sequel to ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury''.
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' fans in the West tend to dismiss [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Wataru Kurenai]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Ryotaro Nogami]]) for being 'weak' and 'unmanly' compared to many of the other protagonists in the franchise. Japanese fans of ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'' don't seem to mind Masato Kusaka. American fans almost universally despise him for being a {{Jerkass}} DevilInPlainSight.
