Sorry for awkward title...couldn't fit enough words. It's basically: "Why isn't animation from countries/etc as popular in the west as Japanese animation has been?" I don't really follow animation too closely these days, but it seems that animation native to Japan (or heavily iinfluenced by) has always been popular for a long while (to varying degrees) in the west...yet, animation from other countries seemingly have not had the same amount of attention. Is there a specific reason for this, or is it just luck of the draw?

Well French animation produces a couple of popular series every now and then(funnily enough much of the “anime-esque” animation shows to be shown in North America have been French shows). As for like other Asian countries’ animation, quite frankly they just aren’t that good.
Like China’s animation industry is woefully behind, if their recent anime productions have been any indication(oddly enough one of the only two Chinese-made anime that people have actually liked on any level has not been licensed for legal streaming). I don’t even know the state of Korea’s animation scene, aside from their usual work as being contractors on anime or Western productions(like Studio Mir with The Legend of Korra and Voltron: Legendary Defender).

Yeah, I remember the very first sci-fi Chinese "anime", which was a blatant ripoff of Gundam 00 & Macross Frontier.
They still got a lot to go.
As for the French cartoons, I'm still a sucker for Team Galaxy. Me Myself I was actually the closest to a full anime style.

Worker and Parasite is a quality cartoon. Only one short ever made it over though.
