I am sure most of the people would want to learn Japanese after watching anime. Is it the same for you guys?
 
I'd say it was a bridge to it, but I want to learn more mostly because I love to see Japan's culture in person.
 
definitely... well, I've only accomplished an introductory course in college. Didn't continue after that because of completing other General courses
 
Most of the weabs who took Japanese to “watch anime without subs” never had the motivation past the first intro class.

Though they’re also the ones who make the biggest fuss about minute details and brag about their knowledge on the language.

Kind of sad they stop so quickly, not that I blame them, Japanese I believe is hard and not like anime talks in a slow way.

The difficulty is a bit exaggerated. Most of the people blowing it up are from people who are in the realm of “I wanna watch anime without subs”, but realize that learning another language isn’t some quick process you can learn essentially overnight. That’s mostly why the motivation from them dies very quickly. It’s all just motivation and your memorization skills.

I’m sure we’ve all learned or accomplished something that’s allegedly hard, but it was really just a time sync rather than actually being difficult.

The part that makes it seem more difficult than say, Spanish, is largely just the fact it uses a different alphabet than English. Grammar rules and pronunciation and such are actually super consistent, especially compared to English. Verb conjugation works like it does in English, it’s all based on the different tenses. Though unlike English, all verbs in the same tense have the same conjugation. There’s not a lot of curveballs.
