* A brain-breakingly moronic version of this trope is the state of GoNagai's SuperRobot anime ''[[Anime/UFORoboGrendizer Grendizer]]'' in the French-speaking world. When Creator/ToeiAnimation exported it to France in TheSeventies, they conveniently "forgot" to notify Go Nagai of the fact and proceeded to reap a colossal fortune from merchandising without giving him one aluminum yen in royalties; since the series was only marginally popular in Japan, he only found out '''ten years''' later, which led to a long legal spat between Toei and Dynamic Planning (Nagai's personal publishing company), meaning rebroadcasts and video releases simply couldn't happen after 1985, to the chagrin of millions of fans (yes, it was ''[[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff that big]]''). When they finally reconciled, it seemed that a DVD release would finally see the light of day... and then a French company issued an unauthorized box set, Toei and Dynamic sued the company, Website/EBay, and even ''individual buyers'' for copyright violation, and it's been in limbo ever since. The entire fiasco has the French fanbase in tears.

Fixed all of the potholes in my previous entry, slightly edited its punctuation, and bolded the list transitions for easier reading.

* Let's list a few reasons why releasing ''{{Corrector Yui}}'' to the United States would have been a good idea: One, during its run in Japan [[TheNineties (aired April 9, 1999-October 20, 2000)]], two other {{Magical Girl}} shows were hugely popular in the States, ''{{Card Captor Sakura}}'' and ''{{Sailor Moon}}''; Two, a then-recent movie called ''{{The Matrix}}'' introduced many people to the concepts of {{Inside a Computer System}}, {{Your Mind Makes It Real}}, and {{Everything is Online}}, something ''{{Corrector Yui}}'' has much in common with and people can easily relate to; Three, [[{{TheHeroine}} the titular heroine]] {{Jumped At The Call}} whereas most protagonists at the time would [[{{I Just Want to be Normal}} wish to be normal]] or [[{{Refusal of the Call}} refuse the call]], further setting itself apart from its competition; and Four, {{The Heroine}} is an {{Otaku Surrogate}} for {{Magical Girl}} stories herself, which the growing {{Anime}} {{Fandom}} would likely enjoy. What instead happened with this show is that [[TheyJustDidntCare only 18 of the 52 episodes have ever been officially subbed into English]], and it is so [[SlidingScaleOfAnimeObscurity obscure in the United States]], that there are no [[{{Fansub}} fan-subs]] of it yet; which is sad considering how different, interesting, and engaging the show really is.
