| Actually it did help me quite a bit of Japanese. I can watch Anime without Subs and understand most of what's going on. I'll probably seriously learn the language when I get the time. |
 |
| yeah, when I have sex I'll know how to say kimochiiii~ |
| Few words from here and there but that's it. I'm sure if i kicked myself and would continue studying then watching anime would really help out learning the language but i'm probably just too lazy to study. |
| Just a little lol, very little |
| Reading subtitles will not help you learn Japanese. If you mean listening to Japanese helps you learn Japanese then my answer is yes. Although it sometimes might produce weird grammar but I'm sure 90% of everything spoken is correct. |
| Most definitely, yes. I've been watching animes for roughly 1 year and a half, while always paying attention to what is being said, besides reading the subs. Of course I don't know anything about Japanese grammar, but I can understand a lot of simple lines, already, to the point that sometimes I don't even need to read the subs to understand the conversation. |
| You can learn a few words here and there but actual sentence structure,grammar and speaking full sentences probably no |
| NOPE French is easier. |
 |
| I learned how to say "I'm sorry" "Thank you" and that whatever gon says when he is excited in HxH. |
Fierce_Deity22 said: NOPE French is easier. Technically, French is considered one of the most difficult languages out there, much harder than Japanese (whose greatest barrier lies in the sheer quantity of its symbols). My mother language is Portuguese, another romantic language, Portuguese and French differ as much as English and German, but I find le Français much harder to grasp than Nihongo. But that isn't the point of the topic, is it? |
| I've been taking Japanese classes for 4 years now and it made me realize that anime has only scratched the surface. |
| Yes, it helped me improve a lot on the common words of Japanese. I can speak most of the basic words now, the only hard part is to make correct sentences |

| I have been learning Japanese for a while. It's impossible to learn Japanese from just anime, but when you actually start learning the language you'll notice it will be way easier when you regularly watch anime. It's like that with every language. To become good at a language, just studying won't get you anywhere. Imagine trying to become good at art by just reading books about it and watching tutorials on YouTube. Impossible, right? |
| To an extent like I know what "I don't want to die" is. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Of course it helps. WHen you study a language, it's important to immerse yourself in it. Reading text directly in that language, listening to music in that language, to radio, to TV programs, AND playing games /Watching movie or cartoon in that language all help you to learn. Watching anime alone doesn't lead to a progress in Japanese. Even if you think you learned words, you aren't really learning them, cause you don't know how they're written. However, if you're properly studying the language outside of this, then this will help you for listening comprehension as well as pronunciation. This will also help you remembering the words you properly learned outside of this by hearing them and therefore making use of what you learned. |
 |
| Of course it helps you. Constant exposure to a language will make you pick up on things, that much should be self-explanatory. However since it'll only provide a very basic and somewhat uneven understanding of it so it's still very limited. That being said if you keep watching anime and/or reading VNs for several years then that alone will take you quite a long way if you're paying attention. It will only help you vocally however, you'll have to practice reading it on your own. |
  |
| Certain phrases I know well enough that I get their meaning without having to think of the translation, but pretty much nothing outside of that. |
| Basically |
Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| i think i know more Japanese than english atm, joking but still yeah i learn the basics |

But you won't go anything far if anime is your only reference. At very least, pick words you heard most frequently and looked it up on Google or something, learn how to spell it correctly or when or what you supposed to use the words for. Something like that. Me personally think, learning that way is the most fun way. |

| Anime doesn't do shit unless you're already learning the language on your own. And I mean studying grammar guides, learning kanji and what not. Understanding 10 words is useless. Even if you are studying the language, you have to keep in mind that fansubs are incredibly inaccurate and will probably only lead to misunderstandings if you take their lines at face value. You would have to watch the anime raw and manually search up the words you don't know if you wanted to gain anything from it. |

rawrlsy said: I've only started watching anime a short time but I can tell you that I've picked up a good amount of Japanese words. Some words sound a lot like Chinese words, so it's easy for me to pick them up. :) Yeah, same. Since, well, Japanese is based off Chinese :P |
| Not unless thou art actively studying Japanese besides watching Anime. |
 |
| It is a method, yes. But it can only take you so far. |
 |
| Depends on how good the subs are. From what I've seen, you can learn basic words and phrases. But you can't learn proper sentence structure let alone the entire language just from watching the animumu |

I mean, it's not really that tough to be honest. |
|
| Watch anime with subs can also your oral skill in Japanese. But depends how good the subs are, cuz one word in Japanese can have several more subtil meanings |
 |

| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |
| Lately I haven't been watching as much anime as playing Japanese video games. And I haven't dedicated myself to studying Japanese in a long time. So not really... Though, it does help me not forget some words. The other day I was watching an anime and it helped refresh my memory. I noticed I had almost forgot a word. They said it and I was like "oh yeah, that word means that." |

Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Many common words have stuck to me, but with them I can't do anything much. But it's still fun to know something. And I never learn anything by reading grammar, and I watch so little, so I haven't got any chance to actually learn japanese. |
 |
| You'll never learn to form an actual sentence you can use in regular circumstances. |
 |
| Just random conversational phrases but it's not really any appropriate medium to get a proper Japanese language lesson. |
| You will only learn some words/phrases, but you will never learn basic skills from the language. |
 |
| Well personally I've been following subs since I was 10 (I started speaking English when I was 8 more or less)... Nothing serious, there were just some "adult" anime on tv, and some for kids. For some reason they were not dubbed 10 years ago. At least not ones I watched. Since like 7 years ago and when I got internet I am actively following it on different sites with sometimes short, sometimes long pauses. Me learning some of Japanese on my own may have helped, tho I only learned few words and some grammar plus hiragana/katakana/kanji, but recently I catch my self not even following subtitles. I simply can understand what they are talking about based on few words I recognize, image in front of me and the tone of voices. Ofc I can't tell you what each word meant or put it into words myself but I do get it. Which is rather weird. That's how I pretty much learned and perfected English. I was taught only basic things in school. Then spent like 10 hours a day watching cartoons that were not dubbed or subbed and few months later I found myself speaking it on a level of a child born there. Ofc I didn't know everything, and school still helped me develop it further, especially in understanding how to use the grammar and language, and not just understand what they mean. I owe a lot to Jetix. I feel same is happening with Japanese, difference being I don't have any basic knowledge so I simply learned to recognize phrases based on few words that I know what they mean... c: |

| You can if you like to translate some words/sentences you hear often in anime (or read in manga raw) to check if the group who translated it didn't make mistake ;d I do that ;P You can also play VN without english translation with Translation Aggregator |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
