Ive been thinking if there is anything like that? It would be very useful since when i learn anything (not by immersion) and dont hear it actually used anywhere anytime soon i just forget it totally and im not good enough to get much from immersjon by itself yet, i need a bit more practicea. since words used in anime a lot are often a bit different than what is used a lot irl (like these are completely different situations so thats expected lol) and i watch some anime it would be uselful if there is smth like a list that just has top x most used words in anime or smth like that.
If id have to choose specific one because theres no generic one id say id like to have one for hunter x hunter since its prettyi popular and im watching it now with a friend and i catch quite a lot words alredy so with few more i may be actually able to get some conversations without subs

If you took, like, *all* anime, it probably wouldn’t look too different from the most common words in real life, so going by genre may be a better idea
well for the most part words are just words whether in anime or not, there not really a set list on most popular anime words. If the anime is about war therell be a ton of military vocab. If is about food theres a ton of food vocab. etc. Honestly just learning the most common 2,000 words youll see a lot of improvement in your 聴き取り。 Also if you decide to stick to a certain anime for a while it’ll probably easier because series tend to stick to similar vocab the whole way through.
You can create a list like that on jpdb.io. Create an account -> Learn -> New deck from top vocabulary -> Uncheck all -> Anime.
There is a plugin I can find later if you’d like, that lets you export the deck, but you could also just learn in JPDB directly, it’s an amazing SRS for Japanese. Aside from top vocabulary it also has decks from individual anime (including Hunter x Hunter – https://jpdb.io/anime/669/hunter-x-hunter-2011), books, games, etc and lets you learn in order of frequency, so you only have to learn ~50% of unique words to understand 90% of the text.
jpdb.io might help. Still its kind of like asking for popular hollywood movie words
I am not a native speaker and am not very advanced either, so take this with a grain of salt.
I don’t have a list, sorry.
But one word that seems to come up a lot is *koi* meaning “come” (it’s a form of *kuru*). From what I’ve heard, this word is extremely impolite/offensive and you would never use it in real life unless you were trying to pick a fight.
I’ve also seen *kimi* used a lot (for “you”). I don’t know what the deal is with this word. I hear it’s also very impolite and that you should never use it in real life. (Or maybe it’s just very casual and not suitable for most conversations? Again I don’t know.)
It does seem there’s a different set of vocabulary for manga/games/anime than there is for real life.
I’ve never watched *Hunter x Hunter* (in English or Japanese) so I can’t help you there.
