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?

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.
Ah, I see. These animes are probably lacking some detail, but it at least exposes you. If you like this sort of anime, I recommend: Night Raid 1931. This one takes places just before/during the Sino-Japanese war and discusses aspects of it. Although, it's probably missing a lot of detail.
I dont know if it helped me, but I tried to be inspired by extreme hard working people like Luffy, Zoro, Rock Lee, Naruto. They have all went through extreme hardships and training. 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.
May peace bestow this world,
May our hearts unite.
Life may not be smooth as pearl,
But pray for our decisions to be always right.
Life may be hard, it's a big pain in the butt. But hey, who says behind all those pain, can't hide some happiness ?
Hetalia helped me understand the 7 weeks war. I started researching it because there was a vauge reference to it in Hetalia. While I was researching it I wasn't understanding any of it, I finaly started to think of it as represented by the charecters and then I finally understood what was going on.
It also helps get me through the more boring bits of history class. While we were learning about WW2 there was a question about when Germany invaded Poland, it was all I could do to keep from laughing because all I could think about was that pony he had...
All anime did was help me fail a subject.

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.
Hmmm... Been a whileSit back some time and simply ask yourself, [Link]->"Do you even lift, bro?"<-[Link]
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. ...

Well, anime was a great motivator for me when I started taking Japanese in high school.
