    Doraemon

    This is a very big franchise in Asia but rarely mentioned in the west, so let me introduce it to (most of) you :>

    Doraemon is a robot cat from the 22nd century who has gone back in time to help a kid named Nobita. He has a lot of wacky gadgets to offer. Each episode is basically a story about one of these gadgets. They also pump out a new movie every year.

      Ninja Hattori is big in Asia but unknown in the rest of the world as well right?

      Doraemon is incredibly popular in Spain, to the point that basically everyone no matter the age knows at least the premise and the main characters. It baffled me when I found out that it was largely unknown in other western countries.

      Edit: I just remembered Shinchan, another anime that is huge in Spain but not very popular elsewhere.
