I would have to say that Ruroni Kenshin was a definite influence, as it got many inot the anime genre. also, Death Note seems to be pretty influential.

Me too NGE NGE NGE! the maker Hideki Anno also go his start by helping Hayao Miyazaki to make Naussica valley of the wind (1986) i love the manga more than the anime cuz Miyazaki full imagination of the storyline is display comprehensively which cant be done in a 2hr movie, oh and another Kiki's Delivery service (1989), the first series in Dragonball sagas (just called Dragonball) was also notable cuz it wasn't done with pros but college students, so the art work is a lil rough but the story is tasteful, the sagas that followed lack a plot that goes anywhere, its just fight, think out loud and taught my opponent, and pummel my opponent some more.
Oh and Ranma 1/2 series OMG the most funniest stuff ever classic by Rumiko Takahashi, she great for comedy on parr with Hideki Anno

I think the 1990's was a pretty good decade for anime to start to really come to the US. I can think of ones like Pokemon, Voltron, Sailor Moon, ThunderCats, Gundam Wing, Card Captor Sakura etc. However, I don't know if these really made an impact as much as ones like Astro Boy and such.
