After Grendizer and Jeeg became hits there, distributors bought the license for every Super Robot show that they could get, resulting in the mecha genre being extremely popular in the country.

It was also popular in Italy, enough to be a vital part of a 2015 Italian film entitled They Call Me Jeeg.

However, when it was aired in Argentina as El Vengador, it enjoyed instant success and enduring popularity.

In the same vein, Kotetsu Jeeg in Japan was just another Humongous Mecha anime created by Nagai, and it never became so popular like his other Humongous Mecha.

It's also popular in Canada (particularly in Quebec and New Brunswick) and in Arabic-speaking countries, many of whom first got the bug from the French translation as they were former French colonial possessions with notable numbers of French speakers.

Grendizer is also incredibly popular in French-speaking countries, where it's known as Goldorak.

There is even a life-sized replica of Mazinger-Z in an abandoned estate near Tarragona, Spain.

Particularly Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer are hugely popular in Spanish-speaking countries and also in Italy.

Manga and anime in general are hugely popular in France since the Club DorothГ©e days, to the point that they have their own festivals dedicated to manga/anime, notably Japan Expo, almost half of comic books printed there are manga, and there are even French artists making comic books and animated series in a similar style to anime and manga.Naruto aired for a while there on the French Teletoon, in both censored and uncut versions (just like in Europe), but other anime failed to follow suit. This is especially the case in Quebec, where French-language manga is readily available but French dubs and subs of anime are very hard to come by, apart from a few nostalgic series such as Captain Harlock (known there as Albator) and Cardcaptor Sakura. In French-speaking countries, manga is more popular than anime, to the point that both are colloquially referred to as ' mangas'.In English-speaking countries, anime is more popular than manga, to the point that franchises such as Naruto, Attack on Titan, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure got tons more exposure when they were released as anime series.manga in different language regions can qualify:
