Learned from anime?

This is specific to fansubbed anime and not dubbed.
Emotion, tone , and pitch just seems to be so easy to interpret in anime. I swear it is what eventually led me to integrate it into my own speech. Though everyone still says I talk with an accent, only know it is an exaggeration of pitch and tone (but sounds 'unique in its own good way').

Perhaps you'll be like this guy? (s'just a youtube video that can't be embedded)

What do you mean. Well I kind of started using "de-geso" every so often, I usually use it when I am kind of exhausted over something, but I can add it to the end of most sentences de-geso. Plus when people often call for me I have lately also replied with "hi" which means yes, and whith a recent Fairy Tail ark began saying "hi hi hi". Other things I got include the words baka, aye, urasai and the dreaded uguu.

Nah, I mean the confused or suprised tones in their voices.
Though I don't mind Ganm-ba-tte!

I love the Anime Guy On A Date video

I think it's because you don't speak/understand Japanese,
you don't have to process what they are saying and so you can focus completely on the tone

One of the reasons English dubs on anime sound so "wrong" to me -- I've figured it out. It's because they try to imitate Japanese intonations in English and it just doesn't work.
