Why is this series not popular in North America, but popular in Europe

Because Europe got the series a whole decade before it even reached US shores, so it kind of had the "been there done that" feel for American viewers since anime was flooding the market at the time, and when it finally did reach the US, it was heavily butchered on TV by DiC Entertainment.

Fortunately the distributor ADV Films was savvy enough to produce an uncut version at the same time, but unfortunately the damage was already done.
