| Yo I have seen Moyashimon, Capeta and Initial D. Those 3 have some light educational value, atleast to me. Moyashimon is really great. Though capeta and Initial D is abit low but it is ok. I am looking for something similar where you can learn something here and there that can actually be used/connected to real life. Post anything you feel could be of interest. Thanks :3 |
 |
| LOl real life hmm Lucky Star??? You might learn something, maybe... Its very SLice In A LIFE anime, its a parody of anime virtually, its really reali life ish NOt sure about teaching you about anything though. Its very connected to real life though |
 |
| Ok thanks, sounds good, thats the kinnda stuff I am looking for. |
|
| I guess it depends on the particular field that you're after education in. For example Nodame Cantabile is fairly educational in the field of music. Hmm...looking through my list that's the best thing I could come up with =/ |

| I am not looking for any special field or area. Looking up Nodame now \o |

| Akagi - learn about mahjong (the game is really fun if you play it in real life) |
| A past can last a lifetime. How to Read Manga! | AnimeBytes | iMangaScans |
| Moetan teaches you to translate from japanese to english ;) |
| Bartender: slice of life with good overall animation Aria of Origination: slice of life that took place on some other planet with strange-looking cats |
 |
| I learned a heck of a lot about the way the brain works, and a bit about psychology, by watching Ghost Hound. |
 |
| Naisho no Tsubomi Actually, it's kinda funny and cute, but it also has a weird perv aspect to it.. ;) But I've only read the manga adapation. |
| Great Teacher Onizuka, Genshiken. |
| I'm back. |
| The Yakitate Japan manga taught me a whole lot about bread. I assume the anime is the same. |
georgi said: Akagi - learn about mahjong (the game is really fun if you play it in real life) I second this. It's a really good start if you want to learn the basics behind mahjong. Although in my case it was what got me interested in the game in the first place. |
 |
| Ok sounds very interesting, maybe I will start to play Mahjong to. |
|
| Yakitate Japan, I actually enriched my culinary/bakery knowledge watching it. Twin Spica and Unhabitaded Planet SURVIVE have some valuable team work lesson and they're excellent to watch with kids. Twin Spica has some interesting astronomy fluff there. Hikaru no Go. Well, you will probably not learn Go by watching it, but you can learn to appreciate this wonderful game. Victorian Romance Emma. There are lotsa Victorian Age references on it. For otaku (and other Japanese cultural) references, Lucky Star, Genshiken, Pani Poni Dash, Cromartie High School, Azumanga Daioh, and Hidamari Sketch can be watched for that. |

| spice and wolf i f you want simple economics, if i have this right, explains a little on the macro scale i think, but it also takes place by the looks of it about 150 years earlier, nevertheless, good concept to understanding markets, economy with a history aspect |
 |
| hikaru no go it's about a boy that learns how to play 'go' |
| Come and look around at the autism club or the Yakuza FC! |

Thank you so far I have found some interesting stuff. |
|
| ummmmm I have no clue especially since you rated most the stuff i saw lower than me but thats just how you rate it seems o i dont know but: Ghost Hound ~ filled with psychology and neurology information Welcome to The NHK~ (maybe).... the original story is loosely from the life of the guy who wrote the novel ..........not really useful unless you got some problems like some of the characters in it. But it has gotten some people to not kill themselves, no im not joking, really o.O xxxHOLIC~ has some stuff you can relate to life Death Note~ (kinda) teaches you the art of mind games lol I guess it really determines what you want to "learn" |
Pontus said: To bad it isn't the other way around I alrdy know english, would be nice to learn some Japanese. Yeah but it's about as good at teaching English as it is at teaching Japanese. Meaning the same method works conversely. |

| My recommendation would depend on what education you're looking for :D As far as sneaky mind tricks? Death Note As far as ninjutsu and useless blabber taking up half the series? Naruto. As far as happiness and endless dreaming? AIR TV. As far as how to look out for nature? Princess Mononoke and Pom Poko It depends :D But there are 5 if you need them :3 |

Could you please tell me what I would learn from watching Cromartie High School? I don't doubt you just that I did not really think about it. I have seen it but I did not notice anything really, though it was a few weeks or months maybe since I did see it. But it's a great show! |

| Akagi is fantastic, but the first series that popped up into my head, which Kira01 already mentioned, is Bartender. Just an absolute joy to watch. Goes over the history, trends, and origination of mixed drinks and personal tastes in Japan, Europe, and the United States. The beginning and end of each episode feature recipes and instructions for the mixed drinks seen on the show. There are interesting statistics about the alcohol consumption of people around the world interspersed throughout. Definitely worth checking out. Of course, if you liked Initial D, watch Wangan Midnight, which goes far deeper into repair, tuning, and handling of street race cars. |
| Thanks sounds very interesting, I am just finishing Nodame Cantabile, really good show. |
|
| Axis Powers Hetalia is going to tell us all about the different countries during/after World War II, I believe. haha |
| Saiunkoku Monogatari. You learn about politics and women's status in old days. |
 |
| samurai champloo- hiphop culture + edo era. |
E_chan said: Saiunkoku Monogatari. You learn about politics and women's status in old days. I was going to suggest that one |
| I have seen Samurai Champloo. I have seen Cantabile Nodame now and it is good if you like classical music, I would recommend it. Though I would not recommend for example Hajime no ippo for actually learning something about boxing. Though it can be great for giving inspiration to start training. I think they mention some legendary boxers in Hajime no ippo but I would say it is pointless to watch it to actually learn anything. |
|
| I'm sorry but i must ask how initial D is educational? :S i've read 425 chapters of the manga and not learnt anything. i suppose at most you learn a little about japanese cars but yeah :S |
legiondairy said: I'm sorry but i must ask how initial D is educational? :S i've read 425 chapters of the manga and not learnt anything. i suppose at most you learn a little about japanese cars but yeah :S I haven't read the Manga, but from watching the anime I have learnt abit about waight shifting, braking will give better grip on front tires for example and reduce grip on the rear so it is easier to drift etc. It also teaches some gear shifting and stuff I think I remember that, was kinnda long time since I did watch it. Yes and as you said you learn abit about Japanese cars, it is lightly educational. But yeah it is abit close to hajime no ippo, but I think if your interested in cars you can learn abit from Initial D but not much. |

But yeah it is abit close to hajime no ippo, but I think if your interested in cars you can learn abit from Initial D but not much. well fair enough but if you try to apply that to real life like you suggested in the OP you're likely to learn a lot about speeding tickets. and those techniques don't work with all cars, for example trying to drift a car with terrible oversteer in that manner will ultimately make you spin. but you do learn an awful lot about driving the hachi roku from it. |
| Yes ofc, but say your speeding and your car starts to understeer maybe you will remember to break and be able to save your car, or spin, crash and burn. But you also learn about different cars, that Skyline use grip and what kind of engine they have, you learn about the awsome Mazda RX7 to! |
PontusJan 22, 2009 10:25 AM
|
| i wouldn't go as far as to call an rx7 awesome but that's just personel preference. With the skyline you gotta remember that only the GT-R is the grip machine, the other skylines are more like driving a slightly bigger silvia. Good point about understeering, i didn't think of it that way =/ |
| Welcome to the NHK - you learn the about hikikomoris and what they deal with. |
| (づ°‿°.)づ |
| Ok maybe I should check NHK abit more. I haven't been able so far. |

| Maybe Over Drive can teach you something about riding a racing bike, I did learn some from it atleast. |
|
| Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei |
| Spring and Chaos Nitaboh |
|
| I have chnged my mind about Hajime no ippo. it can tach you something, though you need to know what your looking for, tricky to explain. But since I started boxing I think it is mostly just crap but there is some real stuff in there if you know abit about boxing. |
|
| If you want to learn about guns, I recommend Gunsmith Cats. Ignore the OVA unless you really like it. Read the manga. Ghost In The Shell sort of teaches some philosophy and sociology. There are some great ideas behind meme theory and similar ideas in SAC, Innocence is full of existentialism, and SSS is full of contemporary Japanese social problems. Additionally, read the manga for tons of factual and fascinating footnotes and so on about cybernetics, AI, cyborgs, and so on - the stuff that goes into Masamune Shirow works and makes them as detailed as they are. Reading his series Appleseed is good for that too, among other things, notably special forces operational proceedures. |
