Videogame magazines would show pages and pages of unreleased (in europe) manga games, indicating wheter they had any hope of being brought over. The Dragon Ball rpgs on the nes and snes were legendary.
Somewhat limited meaning of "westerner". Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Fist of..., Captain Tsubasa, Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2 ... were all hits in Spain only a few years after they were relased in Japan, to allow for translation and so on. The cool kids would bring import magazines to the playground to show the plots of the upcoming seasons.
