Watching anime did not help at all until ~3rd/4th semester for me.

Until you're at the point to recognize many various forms of verbs and enough words to understand ~80-90% of the sentence anyway (i.e. only 1-2 words you don't know), you won't learn very much.

Until you're at the point to understand words despite how fast they're speaking, it won't help that much.

Uesugi-sama's classes intrigue me - especially since I live in SF. Do you have a link or something?
