Can Animes help students learn japanese?

The problem I so far experience with that approach is that whenever I read the subtitle, I tend to neglect the japanese part. How to deal with that? Is it ok to neglect some for the sake of others? Thanks for the respose.

It's normal to neglect the audio side when reading subtitles.

Write you everything you remember from animes on a book and look in dictionaries online.

You can`t learn everything from animes, must seek other sources.

Aside from watching, I also study japanese but I guess I have to work out more on the vocabulary and the right sounds so I could catch up with what the characters are saying. Thanks for the response.

Wow that is encouraging. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the respond.

Thanks for the response. Are there any anime without swearing words? I usually recogize some words or phrases but I cant absorb the whole idea. I rely too much on the subtitle.

I know Anime like Hikaru no Go, Cardcaptor Sakura and etc have no swearing.

I am learning Japanese. Watching anime helps to reinforce what I learn in class.

Yeah I guess, since cardcaptor sakura is catered for children. I know this but I only watched the dubed more than twice in our local TV. So far, the only anime which I watched with its original language as GTO, Ouran High School, Death Note, El Hazard and the rest(hehehe, I forgot the title of the others).

By the way, I bet GTO have swaring words(forgot to mention this on my last comment).

Yea.. haha.. GTO has many swearing words.. it's a very funny anime..

I can recognize them when they say it short if you know what I mean.

Hi! In my experience watching anime, I only learn from the short expressions they use. Those too long sentences are hard to follow let alone to absorb. I try to buy CDs or borrow from friends so that I can watch the same episode all over again just to extract and to absorb several things. Anyway, there are helpful animes on which there are explanations on some of the words or phrases use which have no direct english equivalent.

I appreciate the sources you mentioned. I will try to have them next time. Yes, there are several common expressions that characters use and I think that they are useful.

The problem that I encounter by watching anime as another source of learning is that animes speaks the expert level in which we newbie learners can't follow. The only thing we can absorb are those basic sentences included in the conversation. We may recognize several words and phrases but we cant really understand what it meant since there are several conjugations(verbs) and declensions(nouns and adjectives). For example. a begginer only knows the past and present and affirmative and negative of the verbs plus other forms like the "te-form" not to mention that anime usually showcases the casual way of expression.
