* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' didn't make a splash at all in Japan despite being one of the biggest movies of the year in its native USA. Frequently cited reasons include a poor dub, being carried by relatively few theaters, competition from other movies, and the fact that the movie is so pop-culture focused that the jokes don't translate to Japanese. It also doesn't help that LEGO itself like most non-Japanese toys in general, are only has a niche cult following at most in Japan, meaning the idea of a LEGO movie didn't have much appeal to mainstream Japanese audiences to start with. That said, the movie would become much more successful after it was [[VindicatedByCable released on home video]].

* Bad Luck Fale of Wrestling/BulletClub. He was trained in New Japan's dojo for a specific role. To be a giant gaijin who would impress the audience [[TheGiant with his nigh immovability]]. He's seen as an exotic juggernaut by the Japanese fans for his Tongan ancestry and the [[{{foil}} contrast]] he provides as "[[TheDragon under boss]]" to [[Wrestling/FergalDevitt Prince Devitt]][=\=]Wrestling/KarlAnderson[=\=]Wrestling/AJStyles[=\=]Wrestling/KennyOmega[=/=]Wrestling/CodyRhodes. He was given a simple role and played it to perfection. To fans in the US, particularly those tired of big, good looking but slow finesse lacking guys, those sort tuning into New Japan for the famed strong and or super junior styles, Fale is an eyesore.
* Toru Yano of CHAOS is a skilled down on the mat wrestler, but not in any particular way that really helps him stand out from the many others of New Japan. He, in fact, had suspicion that he would be doomed to mediocrity, at least as a singles competitor, and took to {{drowning|mysorrows}} his sorrows until it more or less was his gimmick and he became an almost always playful, smiling drunk. To long term fans, especially those in Japan, who think NJPW has often been too serious for its own good, Toru Yano was a welcome, [[LoveToHate if not always embraced]] source of comic relief. To foreign fans looking for more serious pro wrestling, Yano Toru is neither embraced nor welcomed. That said, he was [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap accepted warmly]] by the live crowds when he debuted in Wrestling/RingOfHonor.

* Since the 2010's, anything in Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling that seems even mildly "sports entertainment" will meet negative reaction from Western fans of the promotion who watch it specifically for more serious fare, regardless of how over the act is in its homeland.

* ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight'' never became popular in Canada, where the team is supposed to originate from. This might be because the characters seem to have been inspired by [[CanadaEh stereotypes]] of Canadians. Which is ironic when you realize the team was created by Canadian artist Creator/JohnByrne.

** '''France''': For all the jokes about the "Frenchiness" of the company that originated in [[CanadaEh Quebec]], after an initial, critically-roasted visit to Paris in 1990, Cirque didn't bring another show to the country until ''Theatre/{{Saltimbanco}}'' in '''2005'''. The books ''20 Years Under the Sun'' and ''The Spark'' point out that circus has been a staple of French entertainment for so long that a) Cirque's style wasn't particularly new to them and b) it just takes a lot to impress critics there with so much competition.

* Creator/DrSeuss books are seen as literary classics in North America, but outside of that continent, the books are relatively unknown. This may be due to most of them having [[RhymesOnADime their lines being entirely written in rhyme]], which doesn't really translate well in other languages. As for other English-speaking regions of the world, especially in Commonwealth countries, Dr. Seuss books have been overshadowed by other, more popular domestic children's books, especially in the United Kingdom.

That's why only a very few of his works, like ''The Grinch'', are only known in other parts of the world through movie adaptations.
* Literature/FuManchu has very few fans, if any, in the Asian American community. This is due to the fact he had been played by [[YellowFace non-Asian actors]], as well as the fact he's a [[YellowPeril racist stereotype of East Asians.]]

When this is taken far enough (i.e. a work, or an entire genre, is rejected everywhere ''except'' its homeland), it can produce what's known as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galapagos_syndrome "Galápagos syndrome"]], in reference to the bizarre species that evolved in isolation on the Galápagos Islands that heavily informed UsefulNotes/CharlesDarwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. The term was coined in Japan to describe their CellPhone technology (''garakei'', from Galápagos and ''keitai denwa'', the Japanese term for "mobile phone") and how it evolved on a completely separate track from that of the West, producing high-tech flip phones that could send and receive email, surf the web at 3G speeds, and play sophisticated games in a time when Western cell phones (apart from the [=BlackBerry=], which was seen mostly as a business tool) were considered high-end if they could take pictures. They were the envy of the world in the 2000s, but due to lagging infrastructure outside Japan, they couldn't be exported, and so the Japanese cell phone industry ignored non-domestic markets almost entirely. As such, it was painfully slow to catch on to the smartphone revolution in the '10s, with foreign [[UsefulNotes/MacOS iPhones]], [[Website/{{Google}} Android]] phones, and [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] phones catching the ''garakei'' makers completely off-guard and snagging massive market share. The term has since been applied to other fields of Japanese technology, including its [=ATMs=], its cars, and [[http://digitalchumps.com/gamingnews/318-latest-news/the-state-of-the-japanese-gaming-industry.html its video games]], due to both different infrastructure and a cultural emphasis on isolationism.

** As far single cards go, the main difference between the TCG and OCG is defined by one card: Maxx "C". TCG players hate it to the point where it has been banned for five years and are also clamoring for it to be banned in Master Duel, whereas OCG players don't mind the card and tend to build decks that don't lose to it. Also a card like Crossout Designator, which sees little play in the TCG, is limited in the OCG because it's guaranteed to counter Maxx "C"

* ''Animation/TheSnowQueen2012'' was a rousing success in its home country of Russia and spawned numerous sequels, but in other parts of Europe and America, its reception is tainted by negative comparisons to Disney's ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'', at worst being lumped together with animated mockbusters such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatoing}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChopKickPanda''. This is in spite of the film coming out almost an entire year earlier and being much more faithful to Creator/HansChristianAndersen's [[Literature/TheSnowQueen original fairytale]], which the Russian public especially has adored for several generations.
