Anime cartoons were all but non existent on North American TV's in the early 90's. Then one anime in particular stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. Sailor Moon. After Sailor Moon we would see a flood of anime hit the screen, but ultimately Sailor Moon set it off
Sailor Moon, the anime that opened the floodgates

Don’t think I ever watched an episode
The animation always irritated me, probably stops me from watching Dragon Ball.

Retarded take, god the internet breeds pseudo intellectual factual retards.
80s had Voltron, Robotech, G-force. Let’s not forget the majority of 80s cartoons were done by Japanese companies especially those openings.
Hell in some markets Sailor Moon was only on the USA network so you couldn’t watch it unless you had cable. UPN and WB did more for anime exposure than Sailor Moon ever did.
EDIT: Forgot about Ronin Warriors which dropped before Sailor Moon on network tv, that show was the epitome of anime held the torch until Goku went super Saiyan.

(Nearly) Every kid in my school in 6th grade watched Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers as soon as we got home.
They came on Channel 5 here in the Tri-State area.
When cable became available in our area, we got to see Cyborg 009, Galaxy Express 999, Speed Racer, & Hercules. Then, Force 5 began running in the mid-80's bringing us Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, Gaiking & Grandizer.
