This is a very interesting topic because I have gone through another medium to learn Japanese, quite frankly, 4 years of college and I still find it difficult to comprehend what they say in anime. I know my listening skills are slow but it could also be me trying to read the subs as well as listen. I'm still trying to find a way to improve my Japanese with a lack of native speakers over here.

I'm surprised to hear that people try to learn Japanese from a show or music because when you start off learning a language you have to learn sentence structure, tense, forms, all the works which usually won't be found in anime or music. I would have to agree though... 'You cannot learn Japanese from scratch from an anime' but you can use it to help you in certain ways...
