anime you didn't know was anime

[Samus Aran]

So I was looking at Nyerp's MAL profile because I'm a creeper and I noticed something about a penguin and I looked at it and saw Scamper the Penguin or whatever and I was like "okay what this looks awfully familiar" and then notice the discussion thread about it where people mention that they thought it was American and had seen it as a kid.

Then one of the posts mentioned something else.

technically anime because the animation was outsourced to Toei

Speed Racer
DBZ
Sailor Moon
CCS
Escaflowne

Basically anything that came on a non cable/satellite channel before pokemon. So those were ones I didn't know at the time, but have known for quite a while now.
