@MisterM2402
@JoelYeah, I’m aware of both of those things. I really didn’t want to use the Katakana transcription of “total” (トータル）and yeah, I’m aware of that being that form of the translation of “total”.
As for the “Otaku” thing…yeah I know haha. I figured that even though in Japan (and to the more informed individuals, such as us) there’s that negative connotation, to most people that use it, they don’t really get that. Plus it’s a recognizable word to the target audience, nonetheless.Just a High School nerd that's trying to learn Japanese for fun and profit. Check out my online Anime and Otaku retail store at TotalOtaku.comYeah, I always do just what Anki tells me to do. I never have done a “custom study” (or whatever it’s called) because I was afraid of screwing something up like that (plus…I couldn’t figure out how to do so…). So, when I progress in TextFugu, I study the new pack every time I’m told, and then after I finish TextFugu for the day, I do my Anki review. Is that not the correct way to do so?
[As for the homework, yeah. It's really stressful...and I also run an online business on top of that. The 2013-2014 school year was my first at this High School and there's so much more work here than at my last school. I'd like to say I've gotten used to it...but I haven't. Well, I can do much more TextFugu/Wanikani over summer vacation.]

They’re both helpful suggestions.@MisterM2402, Yeah, I try to make it daily. I emphasize “try” because as much as I want to do TextFugu/Anki daily, I have my actual High School courses’ homework and studying that take me >5 hours nightly, so I do TextFugu less often than I wish to.
As for your comment on the ‘post-it technique’, you’re right; it would not work on some things such as non-nouns and the like.
Reading-wise, like you suggested, is a very helpful trick; I do use that technique a lot. However, what I find to happen is getting to one of the TextFugu pages where Koichi says, “Make sure you know these before moving on.” or so and I do the Anki for a long time, and even though Anki reports that I have the words down, I don’t feel all to sure.Overall, I think that I just must keep drilling and cramming as much as possible. Thanks for the replies, and if anyone has anything to comment feel free to do so.
Thanks.
