You're certainly entitled to your opinion, Baronchar. Usually vocabulary is the easiest thing to pick up in a language. Most students have trouble understanding different sentece structure and grammar rules. If you go to Japan, you can easily increase it without having to watch anime. As for hearing it, there are plenty of movies and TV shows that you can watch, that use actual real japanese. Plus, that's the stuff most people watch anyways, so you can talk about popular culture and stuff.

But like I said before, I don't like any of that otaku stuff.
