If you are currently studying Japanese or would like to try learning, why not turn your anime binging habit into a language learning one?
I want to recommend this method because I've learned another foreign language (Korean) the old-fashioned way through countless hours of drills, brute memorization, grammatical exercises, and endless repetition. The beginning stages were fun and easy, but the intermediate stages were very much the opposite. Soon enough, I was studying for 3+ hours a day with textbooks only, and it became hellish torture.
This idea might seem ridiculous if you have been watching your anime with English subtitles for years and can't seem to remember any of the Japanese you have learned through anime. And this trend will continue as long as you keep the subtitles turned on.
Step 1: Turn off the English subtitles
Thankfully, almost every major anime streaming website now allows you to turn off English subtitles. You can do this on Crunchyroll by right-clicking on the screen and selecting 'No subtitles'. Funimation and Netflix also have no subtitle options in their respective web players.
Step 2: Listen for the high frequency words
Now that your anime is no longer an English reading activity, your ears can get to work. It's going to be VERY overwhelming for the first few week or so, so you'll have a much easier time if you re-watch something that you have seen before so that you can still follow the plot.
If you carefully listen and focus on all the new sounds going through your ears, you'll notice you'll hear many of the same words often repeat. Write these down. Don't stop the video to look up words. Keep going. If you stop the video, you may never start it back up (because distractions exist).
At the end of the episode, you'll have a list of the high frequency words used in that episode. Now is the time to look them up in a dictionary like http://jisho.org/. Knowing just a little bit of hiragana and grammar will help you in figuring out the spelling of new words so that you can find them in the dictionary. Learning the basics of Japanese as you progress will make this process quicker and smoother over time.
High frequency word lists are a common tactic that many polyglots (language learning experts) use to gain a strong foundation in the languages they study. These lists will also help you understand more and more of each episode as you first hear it.
Step 3: Use Anki / The Goldlist Method to put new words into your long-term memory
Anki and The Goldlist Method are two of the most popular language learning methods used by polyglots, and they can also help you not just learn but never forget new words. If you create a habit of daily practice, you'll be able to both produce and recognize these words by ear.

Anki is a free flashcard program with a built-in Spaced Repetition System (SRS). You can create very basic flashcards with Japanese on the front and English on the back or the reverse. You can also create Listening flashcards which are much more fun (in my opinion). You'll need this free add-on to make the Listening cards:

The Goldlist Method is a somewhat simpler method since it requires just pencil and paper, but it requires a bit of an explanation to how and why it works. This post is already super-long, so you can find a full explanation here: https://youtu.be/Ixxq8moh4pg
Wait...will this really work?
When it comes to easily learning thousands of words, it most certainly does. Of course, you'll need to supplement your study with Japanese pitch accent, kana, kanji, and grammar to gain a full command of the language.

I've used this method for the past 3 years and gotten my Japanese to a proficient level. I'm currently working to take on and pass the highest level the JLPT test offers (N1).
