goooddd I need to make a whole debunking of some idiot saying Winx didn't reach Japan because it was "too perverted" when Japan has done so much worse with their own shows.
Winx didn't come to Japan due to broadcasting fees and no licensing to justify the costs. Too much competition back in 2004. That's it. Straight from Iginio's mouth. Other shows by bigger companies have flopped there. My Little Pony was non-existant before FIM in Japan.
A japanese person who claims to be a big fan of the genre should fucking know this and not say it was because the belly buttons were too much. If you saw the magical girl anime I grew up with in the early 2000s when I was 4-10 then you'd fucking explode
