This might be an off topic question. If it is just close my question.

I want to know what anime do you recommend to learn japanese? The problem with
the anime I've watch so far is that they tend to speak pretty casual and some
of them use yakuza way to talk. Is there any appropriate anime for those who
want to learn Japanese or should I give up on anime and learn from a different
media (drama, news, etc.).

I don't pretend to learn only from listening (I've been studying japanese for
about 5 years). It's just that I think that learning any language is not only
reading books.

Appropiate anime or media to learn japanese
The main issue you're going to run into is explained in [this
answer](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/215/on-learning-japanese-
from-anime-manga/399#399), specifically:

In spite of this, there is a rough guideline you can use to determine which
anime you might be able to use to learn even basic pronunciation.... it needs
to be _boring_ to your average 15 year old.

In other words:

  * no space ships
  * no dragons
  * no magical girl outfits
  * no mecha
  * and absolutely no gainax bounce

This isn't to say that you can't learn _something_ from these shows... but be
constantly suspicious of the constructions/vocabulary you hear in them until
you have a pretty good grasp of the language.

So, what does that leave us? Mostly

  * high school dramas (beware archtypically gendered language)
  * detective/mystery shows
  * sports-focused anime

The only thing that sometimes gets you here is the "humor" characters that are
added in with a "wild" accent. For obvious reasons, be careful of any
character's "catch phrase".

(Disclaimer: I am not a highly accomplished speaker. A few years ago I was
involved with an anime club that was roughly half made up of native
Japanese... this is mostly from a series of conversations with these kids, and
should be understood from that anecdotal frame of reference)
