So I guess my question is what do you expect to gain from passing this test?

College credit. If you do well on the AP exams, you gain college credit, which is quite useful. In high school I took a bunch of AP science exams and got 4's and 5's, and even though I'm no longer a science major they are still useful because that's less credits I need to earn in college to graduate.
Look, if you feel confident enough, take it. The worst that can happen is you waste the test fee, which isn't that bad. Best case scenario, you get some extra college credit, which IS helpful.
Edit: Also, watching anime isn't a bad thing. Being like the 16-18-somethings who wear naruto headbands in public, is. It's a good way to practice listening, if you ask me, because you're exposed to variety of different styles of speaking and voices.
