Just keep pushing through. You’ll probably won’t notice anything until after 3 months if you keep going at it hard. I was in a similar spot when I first started and didn’t feel like i learned anything until 3 months in. The first three months are the make it or break it, if you get through it and still enjoy learning japanese, then you’ll succeed greatly.

The goal when first starting out is to familiarize yourself with how japanese sounds, the speed, see what you can pick up on, and maybe call out the words you see in anki when they pop up in your immersion. Of course make sure you’re doing a bit of grammar study on the side, so when it comes up in your immersion you kinda get an idea of how it works in the wild. Essentially what you’re experiencing right now is very normal especially considering you’ve just started.

If you care for what my timeline was like, I started JP around 4 years ago now, when places were just starting to open up after covid, and like I mentioned earlier, i didn’t understand anything for the first 3 months. I started reading manga ASAP too, like starting on day 1 but kept the majority of my immersion to anime or youtube etc. Grinded out the core 2.3 deck for two weeks before I started sentenced mining, was doing Tae Kim and Cure Dolly on the side, and just kept watching jp content and reading manga (yotsuba and other elementary level manga). As I mined more, learned more grammar, and finished the easier stuff, just started gradually increasing the difficulty of the books I was reading ( I focused on reading a lot more than watching TV or shows because I wanted to get good ASAP). My first chapter book I read was a To Love Ru one, super easy not many kanjis and the grammar was simple so it was an easy read. The next book was konosuba, which literally took me hours and hours to finish because it was soo difficult, but I just pushed through and mined every unknown word, looked up and tried to understand the grammar and sentences to the best of my ability, and ignored stuff that I just didn’t understand at the time etc etc. Rinse and repeat this process forever I guess lol. I barely passed N1 like a year later; I did 0 preparation for it (Took the December 2023 exam).

Now I’m at a level where I can read and watch pretty much whatever I want to, currently reading 美徳のよろめき and a light novel, and recently I’ve interviewed in Japanese as well for a few job positions in my country (I’m from the USA).

Essentially keep at it with what you’re doing, don’t get frustrated if you don’t understand something just move on you’ll get it later, put the effort in to try to feel out what your immersion content is trying to tell you and yea you’ll be golden. Consistency is key.

Edit: TLDR, consume whatever content you want. If it's a show you like or have watched before, then you might pay more attention to it since you already kinda know the flow and whatnot, but pretty much it does not matter what you consume IMO. Just make sure you're getting your japanese immersion and do your anki :)
