I’m glad to see Yomitan and Anki at the top. I’ve only been learning Japanese for about 10 months at this point, but I can already watch most anime and read most manga largely unassisted. I’d never have gotten here without the two.
Relatedly, the Japanese learning community has many excellent blogs and resources. Many explore theories of learning and how it applies to Japanese, too, which is interesting enough in it’s own right :)
That’s insanely impressive—did you do nothing but grind kanji for 10 months straight, or something?
