It might be kinda similar the amount of Anime that get translated to english. I especially liked the time when I was young, there were so many great Anime on TV! I still listen to the music, such as the Pokémon Opening.
They made a lot of German translated Anime songs for openings and others xD Indeed there were really great ones among them. One reason why animes got so loved in the 90s and early 2000s in Germany
