What words have you learned in Japanese fromw atching anime?
Hmm... I don't know specifically. But often for shorter lines i won't have to look at subs.
I guess the most used ones. Thanks, Sorry, good morning/other greetings, "What?", etc.
Here's some of what I've learned from anime:
どうして Why?
どうぞ [this word is some kind of "attention getter" from my understanding]
どうも a short thank you
すごい cool, awesome, amazing, etc
バカ idiot, moron
待って (command) wait!
ちょっと待って (command) wait a sec!
おい Hey!
パンダ panda
おっぴい boobs
ダウンバースト downburst
えっち pervert
お前 an informal "you" used to talk down to someone (from my understanding)
ゾンビ zombie
へんたい hentai
プロデューサー producer
キャラくター character
キャラ character
リアルタイム realtime
アニメーション animation
スタジオ studio
プロダクション production
さくら cherry blossom tree
バス bus
スクールゾン school zone
ランマ cross-dressing 16-year-old boy
That last one is not quite accurate. It's not his fault...
Hello - Konichiwa
Hey - Oi
Goodbye (forever) - Sayonara
One - Ichi
Two - Ni
Three - San
Four - Shi
Five - Go
Six - Roku
Seven - Shichi
Eight - Hachi
Nine - Ku
Ten - Ju
Other - Zoku
Umm - Ano
Wait - Mate
Sorry - Comenezai
Future - Mirai
Flower - Hana
I can't speak for my transliteration...
Kawaii ("cute").
Yes my knowledge in the japanese language is great, fear my powers.
I'm not too sure what words I learned from anime. Probable things like:
うっさい・うるさい！ - Ussai/Urusai! - Shut up!
貴様！ - Kisama! - You! (vulgar/rude form)
殺してやる！ - Koroshite yaru! - (I'll) kill you!
くたばっちまえ - Kutabcchimae! - Drop dead! (corrupt command form of Kutabaru, meaning to drop dead)
Yeah... I learn insults ^_^;
Hentai
Baka
Kawaii
Sugoi
Tenchi (Heaven and Earth)
Ryoko, Oni, Yokai, etc. (Demon)
Yurei (Ghost)
Otaku
Come on... you have to have more than this.

As for me, I've learned too many words from anime that it's impossible for me to make a list. But one of the first words I learned was 失敗（しっぱい） from watching Kyou Kara Maou (at which time I had yet to start learning Japanese). I remembered it without any trouble since its Japanese pronunciation "shippai" sounds almost the same as its Chinese counterpart "shibai".
very few words i know and i am new here. the words are BOKURA NO= that all moment, IKUZE= let's go, and more i want to tell.
I might be wrong, but I think bokurano means "our" or "ours" if it is written like this: 僕らの I'm just making a quick observation tho, that's all. :)Quote:

" OMAE NO USHIRO NI DA!!!!!! " Somehow this phrase lingers in my head from an anime called Gintama XD
Well, some indeed!
Gomenazai, onichiwa, Oi, Arigatou, sayonara, hajime and mate (but I had already listen to them when I played judo :P), hana, hanabi, orewa, kaizoku, banzai, katon, suiton, douton, raiton, genjutsu, do itashimashite, ohayo, oyasumi, ITADAKIMAASU! (loool), kore wa, hidari, midi, koko, "dai suki dayo", gambatte, well and a lot more that I just don't remember now :P
Oh, and the numbers of course: ichi, ni, san, you, gou, roku, nana, hachi, ku and ju
Hope I haven't commit any great mistake, the japanese will forgive me, I guess :P because you sure have a HUGE language :D

I forgot BAKAAA! xD
Gomenazai and baka! I think these 2 words are the most important .. haha
~loyal~
I found it very interesting that not one, but three people in this thread said "gomennazai" instead of "gomennasai". Maybe there's a linguistic explanation for this, but what do I know? XD

I've learned more than a few words, but some of my favorite are daijoubu ("okay", as in it's okay or I'm okay, or it will be okay) and urusai! (noisy, shut up).
Hmm some simple words I learned from anime are Baka, kamakazi, kaze, mizu, inu, boku, hai, konichi'wa konban'wa, keitai, arigato, daijougu, Gomenasai, neko, konpyuuta, kamera, watashi, and I can also count from 1-100 in Japanese and the months days, weeks, and years, some phrases I picked up are boku aw tomodachi ga sukunai-I don't have very many friends(also the name of an anime), terrebi no skete kudasai - may I turn on the T.V., and boku no namae wa [insert name here] desu.
I kinda know the whole speaking but i have to get down the written hiragana and such.
