I've been aware of Japanese animation since the early 90s, but I didn't get any actual exposure to it until seeing G-Force (yes, G-Force, the mid-80s one) on Cartoon Network and snippets of Gall Force on Sci-Fi after we got cable in '95, same goes for Dominion Tank Police and 8-Man After. Sailor Moon in '96, Samurai Pizza Cats and Dragonball Z that fall, Voltron the following spring when Toonami premiered on St. Patrick's Day '97, Robotech about a year later, and so on. I'd also look around the anime sections in Blockbuster and Suncoast for years before ever being able to watch anything stocked there.
