Primarily for the feeling of learning something completely different, from scratch, without being constrained by prior knowledge. My primary focus is on writing and reading for now.
Any good resources out there? Also, how has your progress been in learning Japanese?
I was learning for many years because my wife is Japanese and I lived in Japan for 6 months.
I am OK at conversation, but I cannot read and write well.
Japanese is pretty easy to be honest, for talking, but for writing/reading it's hell.

There's all you need. Check duolingo, it's a nice start.

*let me correct that. it's pretty easy for conversation if you exclude proper polite speech, all levels, situations, etc. - what I meant is it's easy to speak at a level where a Japanese person will understand you perfectly well, even though you're making mistakes or not using proper politeness level

you can't learn kanji in any reasonable timeframe unless you are a neet or have no other hobbies
speaking and understanding anime is not that hard

clearly writing on the wrong board, but imma give you advices regardless i'm learning with a private teacher, and we use Genki as textbook it's so good that you could use just that on your own and you're good to go though i think it's important to practice both reading/speaking at the same level, otherwise you'll end up with an impairment between both of them (typically, you'd end up knowing how to read stuff but the speaking confrontation would be much harder)
