I don't know, every country has known Japanese animation at different times ... But I can tell which cartoons have had a big impact in my country. There were so many anime, like Heidi or the cartoons with robots, but the change came with Dragon Ball and Hokuto No Ken. Children and adolescents adored Hokuto No Ken, but it was very violent, full of death and torture and the associations for the defense of childhood protested fiercely against that cartoon and managed to erase it from the TV. Fans, however, did not surrender, gathered an enormous amount of signatures to get back that cartoon, delivered the petition to the tv station and Hokuto No Ken returned on TV. For the first time the children of my country worked together and won against adults. Then there was the "case Dragon Ball". Goku often appeared naked and Bulma was the protagonist of comic scenes considered to be too racy, then the usual associations for Child Protection denounced the manga for pedophilia.The publishing company defended the manga in court, won and Dragon Ball became the best-selling comic book of my country. Due to its success all the publishing companies began to invest in the mangas and now their popularity has exceeded that of American comics  :)
