Anki's main benefit is forcing your brain to Notice™ things.

The very act of creating a flashcard out of a word forces your brain to notice it, and every time it comes up in your reviews you're again forced to notice it.

When you're a shitty beginner like me being saturated with hundreds of unknown words every day, you need something like this if you want any of it to actually stick. I finished my first VN without using Anki at all and I picked up very few words. Only those which were used extremely frequently ended up sticking in my memory (I think kanji really doesn't help matters since your brain is having to remember twice as much information as it would in a language written in the Latin script).
