I just saw something incredible!  On page 20 of "Adventures of
Superman #548 (1997/28)" there is a Ranma 1/2 banner right
on Lois and Clark's wall!!!  I'd say that was a landmark for us Otaku.

About 18 months ago, an issue of "X-men" had the evil Beast (now known
as the Black Beast) drinking coffee from a Ranma 1/2 mug.

And, of course, there are the numerous anime references in ST:TNG, too.

Anime is slowly invading the mainstream - if, in fact, it hasn't taken
up residence there already.

Not just SF and western comics.  Look at the context and image files on

http://cac.psu.edu/~yxy109/kdphi/officers.html .

Hmm...
