This is really obvious and simple but I thought I'd make a post since it's helped me a lot.
Basically I rip all the audio streams out any Japanese videos I have, load them onto my iPhone, and listen to an episode during my commute to uni or whenever there is time to fill.
It's pretty effortless and an easy way to rack up your hours exposed to Japanese. Obviously shows which are dialogue dense are the best, but as long as its a show you like your bound to get something out of it. Some examples of shows I've tried are GTO, Liar Game, Seinfeld (Jp Dub), Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon.
For those wondering how to extract audio I've been using "Pazera Free Audio Extractor" which works pretty well. You can get it here

I've been doing this for about two years now and my listening and speaking skills have greatly improved. Don't worry about understanding everything just enjoy listening to the sound of Japanese, as you listen to the same episode multiple times you'll pick up more and more and eventually be able to quote the entire show!
