Japan’s Anime Collaborations

[zenpai]

I am curious about anime made in collaboration between Japan and other countries.

This thread is to be used for:

• listing foreign country + Japan collaboration anime projects and whether they are movies or series

• note what the original languages of release are, and what languages they are now available in

• what releases are out there for these animations (both US and global)

• our opinions of these original language titles, and how they compare to English and/or Japanese (if available and if interested in comparing).

This will be the master post, which I will update as I find new additions or as you all inform me of them.
