Absolutely. In Germany at least, anime is a very niche thing. Hardly anyone watches it here. I can't stand anime because of the lazy animation, though I do appreciate the creativity story-wise.
In France there was "club Dorothée", a kids morning show that would air these two shows and a few others so they were pretty popular. You were only a real weeb if you ventured into the stuff that wouldn't be on TV.
Hmm, now that you mention it, I think it was quite similar in Germany. But I personally don't know many people who watched these shows. It was still quite a niche thing. But you're right, they weren't considered weebs. Probably because the Germans are so unaware of foreign cultures, most don't even know what that means.
