After two years of passively watching I've found myself being able to understand random words and phrases in context. If I weren't a lazy piece of shit, I could probably learn the language in another two.
It boggles my mind how there are anons who've been watching stuff like anime for 10+ years yet still feel completely lost without subtitles at the bottom of their screens. They should be at near native levels after watching "hundreds of shows" about cute girls doing cute things for hours on end.
