My impression is that within East or SE Asia, anime could be considered a form of Japanese cultural imperialism, however outside of that region I really wouldn't say so. I'd like to hear what people from East/SE Asia have to say about things like Chinese "ACG" culture and attitudes towards it, though, since I'd prefer not to talk out my ass. Japanese music -- on the subject of Japanese cultural exports -- I know was actually banned in South Korea until the 1990s, with the supremely based Soul Flower Union being the first Japanese band to perform in South Korea (and North Korea!) after the ban was lifted, for whatever that's worth.
In Norway my own line is that anime is actually a form of US cultural imperialism which also comprises a form of Japanese soft power.

Did they also ban anime
It would seem so, actually, the bans were apparently against most any form of Japanese media, but I only heard about the music.
