Just another student who started watching anime recently. I started to feel like it might be fun to learn Japanese now that I have a good reason to do so, so that I can finally watch stuff without subtitles and play all those untranslated Japanese RPG's. I also enjoy self-teaching myself anything interesting and thought it might be a nice challenge to learn something that I used to think was impossible to learn
Just don't group me up with those people who think they can learn proper Japanese by reading subtitles xDI was able to pick up Hiragana and Katakana sort of easily, there was this nifty little program called Kanatest that I found, really helped me on them by quizzing and I also played around with Slime Forest a bit, which turned out to be fun too
I also picked up quite a lot of phrases and words from anime and random places, so I get excited whenever I recognize a word or two somewhere! Now I'm crawling through Heisig's Kanji book slowly, at least slower than before. I'm around frame 550 now and I'm slowly losing motivation since I'm just memorizing kanji efficiently without being to really use it, and since I'm learning it alone, thought I might as well join a forum, should definitely help so here I am 
Sorry for the long intro but I love typing on and on about almost anything
' Hope I enjoy it here.
