Anime and manga are also terrible in terms of learning which pronouns would be appropriate to use. Characters frequently use language and pronouns that would be absolutely inappropriate in real life.

For example, Takizawa always uses "Ore". In real life, one would never use it around coworkers especially superiors such as Amon, Shinohara, and Houji. It would be incredibly disrespectful and a big social faux pas. He would use "Watashi" most likely, because that's the appropriate pronoun for professional settings.

We do see that kind of switch with Sasaki, though. He uses "boku" most of the time, but switches to "Watashi" during formal situations like meetings.
