There are plenty of Japanese anime series that get broadcast in the
US, most obviously Pokemon. They do tend to get heavily recut
and redubbed, but not re-animated.

Its always a little strange when the (to my eye) non-Japanese
characters do something characteristically Japanese - dress in
kimonos, visit a teahouse or a hot spring, bow, etc.

(Hey, I have kids - I can't help seeing this stuff sometimes).
