Disagree on the last part. Shitty Japanese Pornographic Cartoons weren't popular in the 80s. Even in the early 2000's people were still (rightly) ashamed of watching them and wouldn't admit it in polite conversation. It became popular just shortly before Hollywood became incapable of making anything except live action comic book movies.
Happened in games too, in fact Larian was often criticised for spreading it with their crazy-looking, anime-style armors in Divinity:Original Sin.
Yeah, look at this crazy-looking anime armor:
Hmm, not so crazy.
I’m sure anime was not commonly seen in the United States until the 2000s, but it really was popular long before elsewhere, and for good reason. The same as you don’t need to be French or Belgian to have read bandes dessinées like Tintin or Astérix.
