After watching this lesson, this is what I am thinking:"Anime is not a good way to learn Japanese".. Is it true?

Hmm no, not really but for me some words stuck with me after watching anime for so long and not just the easy ones. I also learned: 念のため。(nennotame, just to be sure).
So while it may not help you actually practice actual speech it does help with pronounciation and listening.

I suspect anime isn't the best, but, finding yourself a good manga could be a good option. Thats what I did, bought a bunch, and it is working as a motivator to learn so I can read it. I'm sure you would learn a lot of words, structure, etc. but maybe not a great learning tool to have a conversation. I suspect you would learn all that after a few months in japan anyway, but good to have a solid foundation.

But how would you call out a stranger, when he/she for example has lost something and you picked it up?

only reason i knew that omae was an informal and weirdly to me atleast quite aggressive way of saying you was because of Sa, omae wa tsumi o kazoero, which is double and skulls proclamation before fighting dopants in kamen rider W. you learn weird things when you watch way too much kamen rider and super sentai.
