I was wondering if there was a pacing chart at all for textfugu? What I mean is, is there something that says “ok you should read x-y pages/chapters in the first week” and so on
Nope. You go at the pace you feel comfortable, so you could do a lesson in one day or you could do it in 3 days. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
there isn’t even a suggested pacing? my problem I have always had was not really knowing how to pace what I’m doing. I was hoping since this was being called a textbook that some sort of pacing.

I’m pretty sure you can logically find a middle ground. Like look, I could tell you to do Season 1 in a day. Sounds unreasonable? Ok, then finish Season 1 at the end of 5 years. Neither sounds reasonable.
Also, I think you should pace to yourself according to what you want to achieve. For example, my goal requires me to learn as fast as possible. So I’m trying to learn as fast as possible. This is why I find it important to have interest and goals when it comes to Japanese. (Supposing) Perhaps you want to travel to Japan for 1 year so plan accordingly.

….This is a “self-study” textbook which implies you go at your own pace as opposed to a classroom environment which tells you what to do. Here, one benefit is that since you are learning by yourself, you aren’t penalized for learning slowly or learning quickly. Although, I might add that you may not want to drag on Japanese for more than you should.
But if you want people to tell you what to do, then finish Season 1 in a week. Then finish Season 2 in 3 weeks or less.
以上。

Yeah, it really is up to you how fast you go. I go as fast as I possibly can (1 week for season 1 and 2 weeks for season 2). Hmmm… maybe take the season number and use that, or double that, as the number of weeks to complete it (jk lol). As long as you are using Anki properly you won’t forget the material.
I would say, if you’ve had a Japanese course before like I did, then Season 1 should take a week or less. If not then I would say 2-3 weeks max. Season 2 I would have finished in two weeks but I’ve stopped my progress through the seasons to learn all the kanji (I don’t suggest you do this, unless you can’t wait). So 2-4 weeks for season 2 is good. Season 3 is still being worked on so there is no reason to rush. As a matter of fact, I knew I would get caught up too fast if I didn’t stop to study kanji, so that’s why I’m waiting until all of season 3 is revamped.
I hope I’ve been helpful.
