The 1990s was a major decade for Japanese animation. Thanks to media released in the 1980s, such as Akira, anime became more accessible and sought after on the global market, leading to a plethora of shows and films getting overseas dubs. Thanks to blocks like Cartoon Network's Toonami, younger audiences were exposed to a wide variety of high-quality anime, which lay the bedrock for how globally dominant Japanese animation has become, sometimes even outperforming Western cartoons.
