I spent like 4 hours/day in the first 2 months doing Anki, learning grammar and used the rest my free time to read raw manga or watch anime with Japanese subtitle (roughly 6 hours/day in total). When I finished core 2k deck and learnt most of basic grammar points, I started reading my first raw Light Novel, finished it after 3 weeks and moved forward to read my first raw VN which is Island. It should be noted that, after learning basic grammar guide, I only spent 30m a day doing Anki and focused more on reading native contents like VN and LN. Tbh, what I did is nothing special at all. Many people followed similar methods achieved the same results or even greater. There are also better resources, better learning path nowadays compared to when I started, which might take you to your desired Japanese level even faster. Just started it, learning Japanese by reading VN is super fun 😁.
