All us former or present weebs that once learned Hiragana, Katakana, maybe 5 words and phrases, and basically nothing else, understand. (And the people actually speaking Japanese, too)

    You can't learn Japanese from anime alone

    If you think you can then あなたはバカ

    (Please do not reply to me in Japanese because I can't communicate it in fluently yet because I'm still learning it)

    Oh, back then I totally also used.... some websites I found on google. And, uhm.... I think I remember printing out a torrented professional Japanese handbook, making a fancy folder to put it in and then.... never actually using it. :D

    As you can see, teenage/young adult me was very realistic and very committed!

    I am committed to it right now but currently keeping an eye on a cyclone (hurricane for americans) to make sure it doesn't hit land

    Hoping it'll just pass by

    I do have a procrastination problem as well that I somehow need to get over

    Oh and was it genki by chance that you tormented because lets just say I'm aware of there being torrents for it

    Good luck, dealing with procrastination is hard, but it definitely is doable!

    Oh and was it genki by chance that you tormented because lets just say I’m aware of there being torrents for it

    Sadly, I genuinely don't remember, was around 2010 or so, so quite a while back.

    Anime is a really good tool if it's something you're into. Just have a dictionary pulled up if you hear words you don't know. I've been studying Japanese for ~5 years now and the first 2 years were mostly just listening to anime and doing kanji flashcards. You can get surprisingly far with just anime, but yeah it can't be the only tool. 勉強は頑張ってください 🙂
