EVERYTHING from JLPT N2 (words + grammar) is extremely useful.
2/3rds of JLPT N1 is really useful. so far, at least. i'm assuming the stuff i don't think is useful right now is really useful in genres i haven't tried yet.
in both cases i remember seeing the grammar points often enough from this animelon stuff that i've either already basically memorized the meanings or i know that they're useful (ex. i remember i saw sentences using them even if i can't remember the exact sentence) so it's a breeze to memorize. i haven't had any problems either memorizing or recalling, but just in actually getting myself to sit down and memorize them in the first place.
anyway i've seen a HUGE difference in how well i can understand japanese just from the last 2 weeks (of watching at animelon) alone. as usual... as long as you study with some kind of decent method, your progress will shock you. i think i have to memorize the last of this grammar stuff and go over some verbforms i don't remember well and then my japanese will just keep skyrocketing... i can definitely make it to N1 level before october if i keep going.
reading manga isn't exactly flawless but it's so easy i'm reading manga in japanese every day without even thinking about it. the chatbox in my online game is getting easier and easier to understand, since (thanks to animelon) i'm finally remembering all these difficult words like "attack, soldier power, evade" etc. i think i'll just keep practicing with manga and stuff for now, and probably when i go to japan (and have access to a japanese library) i'll start reading a shit-ton of books and novels.
i keep having the craving, off and on, to pick up a new language or study another language i've been neglecting. but the further and further i get into japanese the less i even think about that stuff — probably because japanese's been my dream language since i was like five years old. when i get stressed from classes or exams (like this JLPT) is when i think i want a break and want to learn another language, like an escape route for my frustration, but as long as that's not going on i'm perfectly content...
