Following a few successful adaptations of anime in overseas markets in the 1980s, anime gained increased acceptance in those markets in the 1990s and even more at the turn of the 21st century.
Prateći nekoliko uspješnih adaptacija u animeu na inozemnom tržištu u 1980-ima, anime je dobio povećan prijam na tim tržištima u 1990-ima i još više na početku 21. stoljeća.
