Love for anime was really powerful, it keeps me willing to learn Japanese until now.
However my Japanese knowledge isn’t growing much, mostly because I don’t have chance to use it (except from watching anime and read manga)
Now I can understand most of the casually conversations in anime. I watch most of the Slice of life anime without subtitle. But for the complicated one, such as Code Geass, I still keep the sub so I can understand every detail (assuming the subs are perfect)
