Do you think watching anime actually teaches you how to learn Japanese?

Back in High School, when I watched anime. There are some shows that teaches you how to say certain words in Japanese. For example, “Nani” means “what” in Japanese. Watching anime may teach you how to say certain words in Japanese, but it won’t actually teach you how to write words in Japanese, write any sentences, read Japanese characters and sentences. You can only learn how to speak few romaji words. Which is Japanese written in English letters. What do you think? Does watching anime teaches you how to learn Japanese?
Updates:
- Both 'Yes' & 'No' for various reasons.
Yes, in that actual Japanese is used (and taught by diffusion/familiarity).
No, because the Japanese they use is generally artificial, highly stylized, and problematic if used in actual situations in real-life Japan today. Can you imagine non-Americans & non-Brits trying to master English via South Park, Disney' cartoons with Goofy or Donald Duck, and/or Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator series?
The YouTube channel That Japanese Man Yuta has actually been covering this with his series of videos analyzing the Japanese dialogue of various anime-characters across many series.

He even discusses your topic in 2videos:
'Should You Use Anime to Learn Japanese?' (7min:14sec)https://www.youtube.com/embed/i31yBwLBW-4'"Anime Characters Don't Talk Like Real Japanese People" Explained' (19min:23sec)https://www.youtube.com/embed/SyKq-onzS44(If he discussed this in older videos, I don't know. These videos, I've watched for myself in recent memory.)
For more specifics (or to better understand this via examples), consider watching some videos of his anime-dialogue analysis series. My familiarity with the anime discussed are limited (since I'm more old-school, and my crazy schedule has been crowding-out what little time I have left in the day to just sit-back and watch some anime, like I want to).
