Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this?

For which there are two systems, one of which stops at ten, and the other is highly irregular in its forms.

I think you mean Wago and Kango counting, in which case Kango isn't irregular at all. There are sound changes, but they almost all follow a handful of basic rules. Wago is plenty irregular, but it also stops at ten and is only used for a handful of things.

And don't get me started on the calendar.

The calendar? Their months are literally just firstmonth, secondmonth, thirdmonth, etc.
