* As it both involves both animated and live action movies (and even sometimes TV shows both live action and animated), Japan is the poster boy for this trope. Many factors including timing the releases to specific seasons/events, the time to dub and localize for Japanese audiences, gauging if the movie is a hit in other countries, etc. This [[https://www.quora.com/Why-does-it-take-so-long-for-Hollywood-movies-to-be-released-in-Japan Quorra linm]] explains many reasons for Japan getting them the last.

* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGillmanTeenageKraken'' is this for Australia, with the movie confirmed to be out in the land down under in September 2023 in theaters there, the same month the movie ''will be out on Blu-Ray and [=DVD=] in the US.''

* ''Film/HereToday'' was released in May 7th 2021 in the US, but wasn't released in the UK until September 3rd and Portugal until October 7th.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChipAndPotato'' first aired on Family Jr. in Canada on October 15, 2018 and had aired 31 stories (15 1/2 episodes) before being placed on Creator/{{Netflix}} . Only 10 episodes (20 stories) were released on Netflix at first, but as of November 2019 all 40 stories are available.

* The Indian feed of Nickelodeon didn't premiere ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' until May 18th, 2020, 4 years after it premiered in the United States. And the show isn't airing with a dub, likely due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. Likewise, the show finally premiered dubbed on Japanese television after being a sub-only release on April 28, 2021, 5 years after its American premiere, on Nick+ via RakutenTV.

** The Japanese dub premiered on TV Tokyo in April 2013, 2 1/2 years after the series debuted. Only two seasons were broadcast. Even after the change of licensor from Bushiroad to Sega Toys, the rest of the seasons have yet to air, but the ''Equestria Girls'' ones continued on through Netflix Japan. The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 movie]] was given a Japanese release 1 year and a month later, DirectToVideo, by Pony Canyon. By August 2019, the show was UnCancelled in Japan and is now airing the third season almost 7 years after it originally aired in the US and during the show's final season elsewhere.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' originally aired in Japan on TX Network in mid-2014, but the show failed to gain traction there initially, and only the first season's dub was completed before the show was temporarily shelved. However, in September 2015, the show was added to Amazon Prime in Japan, and the show's dub was completed there. The dub eventually started airing on TV again on Disney XD from May 2017 to September 2019, with the series finale having already been aired in the United States by the time Season 2's first few episodes had aired on TV in Japan.

* A peculiar example with the ''Series/{{Batwoman|2019}}'' episode "Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 2", due to ''Batwoman'' and the rest of the Series/{{Arrowverse}} being on different networks in the UK. After Creator/SkyOne failed to get permission to show the episode as part of the ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' event, Creator/ChannelFour decided to show it at the ''end'' of the season, to avoid interrupting the story arc with an irrelevant crossover (despite the fact a major plot development in that arc ''hinges'' on ''Crisis'' having happened).

* ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' premiered on Brazil in 1984, eleven years after its original Mexican release date of 1973. Many episodes were dubbed over the course of four slots until 1992 in completely random, non-chronological arranging, resulting in some two-parter episodes only having the first or second part aired, and several episodes being included in multiple slots resulting in them having multiple dubs. Until the next official Brazilian dubs for a DVD release of several episodes in 2005, many remained either undubbed or with their dub archived, especially remakes or original versions of episodes that were already airing normally (as the series had an habit of [[FleetingDemographicRule refilming the same stories a few years after the original]], so the network found it redundant to air multiple versions of the same episode and, for decades, cherry-picked a specific version of each one to remain airing regularly). Over the course of the 2000s and 2010s, several episodes were dubbed or finally premiered after their dub having been archived for decades, and it was only in '''2019''' that every common episode had been dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese - and that's not counting the [[MissingEpisode lost episodes]] or the 80s ''Series/{{Chespirito}}'' sketches, which still haven't been dubbed as of now.
