* According to ''Anime/PersiaTheMagicFairy'', "[[AfricaIsACountry Africans]]" wear barely any clothing, are all close to animals and live as cavemen. Other character state that the main reason Persia is such a WildChild is because she was raised in an "[[AfricaIsACountry African]] culture" instead of her parent's traditional Japanese culture.

*** Many aspectas of the series didn't age well, including the depiction of Africans (which went into DarjkestAfrica territory and {{blackface}}) and Arabs (whom were given very stereotypical appearances and characterized as extremely greedy).

* ''Leo the Lion'' (or ''Susume! Leo''), the follow-up series to ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'', features an episode where Leo/Kimba attempts to teach his son Rukio independence by dragging him out into the middle of nowhere and making him fight his way back home on his own. Though Rukio is obviously terrified for most of the journey, it's revealed at the end that he was never in any real danger because Leo was secretly following him every step of the way. This is intended as a heartwarming story about a well-meaning dad using ToughLove to teach his son an important lesson. To contemporary audiences, especially Western ones, it just looks like a physically and emotionally abusive nut leaving his child for dead.

** Sakaki's low self-esteem and her wish to be shorter and cuter like [[TokenMiniMoe Chiyo]] would seem downright ludicrous to western viewers. This is because Japanese beauty standards for women put more emphasis on being petite--a trait Sakaki doesn't have, being a tall and ([[SubvertedTrope seemingly]]) AloofDarkHairedGirl.

** Downplayed with the the storyline in regards to Nagisa and his [[AbusiveParents abusive mother]]. While Hiromii is explicitly portrayed as an AxCrazy ControlFreak until her HeelRealization and her treatment of her son is definitely PlayedForHorror, the fact that Koro-Sensei [[BystanderSyndrome does little about it when witnessing it]], as well as how [[EasilyForgiven she was let off the hook for it so easily]] ''really'' doesn't sit well with Western readers. In the West, Hiromi's parenting style is criminal by law and she would be doing serious jail time for abusing and ''drugging'' her own son. Korosensei, Nagisa's teacher and a witness to Hiromi's abuse, also would likely have called the police/child services to save Nagisa from future abuse; this sticks out more and more as time goes on, as more places in the Western world make teacher mandatory reporters, meaning a teacher like Korosensei not reporting witnessed abuse would have him facing criminal negligence charges.

** The storyline in regards to Nagisa and his [[AbusiveParents abusive mother.]] Japanese society often approves of parents being harsh/controlling towards their children, as youth are often taught to have the utmost respect for their elders since their ToughLove parenting is for their benefit. In the West, Hiromi's parenting style is criminal by law and she would be doing serious jail time for abusing and ''drugging'' her own son. Korosensei, Nagisa's teacher and a witness to Hiromi's abuse, also would likely have called the police/child services to save Nagisa from future abuse; this sticks out more and more as time goes on, as more places in the Western world make teacher mandatory reporters, meaning a teacher like Korosensei not reporting witnessed abuse would have him facing criminal negligence charges.

** One possible reason why [[StalkerWithACrush Quiche]] is the [[FanPreferredCouple fan-preferred pairing]] for Ichigo in the West is that his EstablishingCharacterMoment, stealing Ichigo's SacredFirstKiss, is far less shocking to Westerners than it is to the Japanese.

** Some of the anime's more "sensual" scenes were deleted in the Arabic release. A young girl showing her body in the manner Rei does when singing would be considered heavily shameful in Middle Eastern societies.* In ''Manga/IkkiTousen'', when a character is revealed to really be the incarnation of Wang Yun rather than who he had previously claimed to be, it's treated as a huge shock and evidence that he's completely evil. Wang Yun was a ''hero'' in the original ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'', but it seems the Japanese don't think too highly of him. That was before, well, [[spoiler:Zuo Ci (the one who was Wang Yun) actually betrayed and manipulated his friends...]] This was one of the more heavy plot rewrites in the anime, which was made after Wang Yun's identity was known to the reader, but before he revealed it to the characters. In the manga, while he's still manipulating everyone behind their backs, he's got good intentions, and is treated as a hero. Even in the anime, he's mostly just setting the villains up to kill each other.
