Does anyone watch an anime that not only catches their interest, but also help you pass school? Hetalia has helped me get through world history (Of course) and La Corda D'oro has helped me ace music theory.
What about you guys?
I'm curious. Can you elaborate? How exactly did they help you?
Anime did not help me too much.. But some anime like ghost in the shell inspired me to think critically.
Can't say anime helped pass a particular subject. Though characters like Kamina and Goku gave me the idea to never quit and keep trying when things get hard in classes.
Baka to test helps me how to be intelligent yet stupid.
Well, y'know how in Hetalia, the people are personified countries? Well, I guess it's just me, but it helps me understand world history a little bit better. I understand it when they say things like how one country attacked another, because they elaborate this by showing how one of the guys sneak up and attack the other. Or like when France assisted England that one time. I the anime, England was sick and France helped him out, but was constantly making fun of how sick he was. Not sure if that elaborates very good, sorry if it doesn't. In LCD, they refer to a lot of things like composers and origins of certain instruments and they talk about music history.Quote:

The first thing that comes to mind is Luffy climbing up the upward mountain in the snowy country with no gloves and with Nami on her back. My god how resilient Luffy is, he didnt give up!
Yes, Rock Lee helped me a lot. Now he's a big idol of mine. I'm using him and Might Guy as a motivation to work extra, extra hard in my basketball practices. Many anime like Fullmetal Alchemist and Blood+ don't help me ace school, but they help me realize how precious life is.Quote:

"Pony! I look like everywhere for you! Why you look at me like that?"Quote:

Spice and Wolf. My History teacher looked just like Holo. except for the tail...and ears... and eyes... and hair color... and everything else about her, but other than that, she looked just like Holo. Totally helped me out.
The other thing that helped me is that i'm just a friggin' genius.
Seems like some animes don't really help you get by in school, but rather give off inspirational themes.
I guess Ergo Proxy might have helped bolster my superficial memory of philosopher's names: Husserl, Lacan, Derrida, Berkley, Deleuze/Guattari, etc. ...
Love Hina, but less about what it taught me... and how it inspired me to actually want to study ^^;
Nodame Cantabile ~ however, it was not in school but in my violin school.
Hetalia for History ~
and then Detective School Q for solving stuff in reading the book Sherlock Holmes.
Lucky Star ... to cope up with stress 8D
well, maybe not helped but inspired me to study and do well in school is bakuman. i dont know, i just want to be a real life akito takagi so badly that i became a nerd. well, i guess it helped.
Well, anime was a great motivator for me when I started taking Japanese in high school.
Cromartie high school. It's like a manual for me.
