With 6 years of anime watching and 3 months of kata/hiragana reps you'd be able to understand streams at a basic level. Hell I started with Miko and never had a problem (chat tls were useful too tho).
With N4 level grammar you'll be able to understand more, if you have the vocabulary for it, and you'll begin to be able to at least check if the translation Google and deepl gives you when you're trying to tweet/comment/SC something in Japanese is wrong.
Using any Anki deck that has the basic 2k kanji, at a rate of 10 words a day (note: some decks are double sided, ie have the same word twice, for meaning/drawing practice, so you may need 20 new cards a day to get 10 words), you can cover all the necessary kanji in uncer a year with about 1-2h of studying daily. The deck I'm using has 3.5k kanji in it so it'll take me a year to complete. I'm at about 1.2k currently, restarted in July after dropping it for a year.
Along the kanji deck it's recommended to get a vocab deck as well, as the kanjis by themselves aren't all-inclusive, and different readings and combinations may have unexpected meanings.
Some people claim that learning grammar should take priority ove rkanji, but how are you supposed to read, write or understand anything if you don't have the verb, noun and adjective vocab you learn from kanji? Sure, that might be a good way to pass the JLPT exams, since they write furigana over some kanji, but that won't work when watching streams.
>tl;drWith daily kanji/grammar/vocab/listening reps, about a year.
