Well, it did come out in 1984. I remember the time well myself because I was 14 at the time and was crazy about TF and other toons and anime. But I know that TF was not anime. Robotech/Macross was... so was Star Blazers/Yamato and Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman and well as Voltron. TF, on the other hand, was created by Hasbro and Marvel. Now, the designs were based on a line of Japanese toys, but that was as close as the connection really was.
TF and GI Joe were hand in hand those days. Both were American concepts although both would go on to have Japanese anime spinoffs. Wiki has a good summary of it as well... better than my memory is that's for sure. :P
