There is very little direct influence of Anime/Manga on western culture, but there are indirect influence via Hollywood media. You can also check the extras on the Animatrix DVD, which lists the anime series that were influential on the development of the 'Matrix' movies (Megazone 23, Akira, Ghost in the Shell). You can also search the Internet for the plagiarizism of Disney's movie 'Atlantis' with the Gainex Studio's first TV series 'Nadia, Secret of Blue Water', and the 'Lion King' with Osamu Tezuka's 'Jungle Emperor Leo' (which was distributed in the US under the name 'Kimba the White Lion')
