While that logically makes sense, do you know of any research that covers this specifically?

Actually stripped red and blue would be right. Apparently the first episodes were coming with the French version for the intro (which is kinda weird because Hungarians tend to dub everything) then it was switched to Moonlight Densetsu with actual dubbed Hungarian lyrics.

The explanation could be that the commercial broadcasting (we had TV broadcasting before but it was all state owned channels) started in 1997 in the country and Sailor Moon were among the first series for kids they aired (same month when the new channels started). I guess they did not want to make the effort to create a Hungarian version for the intro without knowing that it would be a success (it was).

It's a map glitch; it's supposed to be striped red and blue. I found a good amount of videos on YouTube with the French version overlain with Hungarian lyrics, with lots of comments in Hungarian expressing nostalgia and none expressing confusion. Therefore, I deduced that the French melody is for some reason very well known in Hungary. Do you have any insight as to why this may be?

There is, because of the "grass is greener" effect.

In places where divorce is rare, married people are less likely to want divorce because the odds of finding someone to date after the divorce are slim.

In places where divorce is common, there is a large pool of divorced people whom you could potentially date if you choose to divorce.

So divorce causes more divorce.

You'd think that in places where divorce is rare, that the average marital satisfaction is low, because unhappy couples choose to stay married because of the dearth of options if they divorce. But in reality, in places where divorce is common, the average marital satisfaction is low, because married people see all sorts of divorced people every day, some of them being attractive individuals.
