Sure, if you don't include Nel's baby-talk on Bleach, or the constant "dattebayo!" in Naruto as slang or inappropriate Japanese to be teaching a beginner . . . If I sat through an episode of either I'm sure the slang, colloquialisms and contractions of speech would far outweigh any benefits to having sat through said episode studying it.

Plus, seriously? It's an anime! Would you tell someone learning English to sit through cartoons to learn? Yeah, I can just see Elmer Fudd or Daffy Duck being great to teach to English leaners, and likewise Naruto isn't good for Japanese learners. The language is nearly always exagerated.
