If learning japanese would not include learning all the different signs, I totally would be willing.
I think japanese is a very nice language and i like its sound. I caught some words here and there (when watching anime^^), but its very limited. I have absolutely no idea about grammar or anything else. xD

Konbawa mina-tachi!
Watashi wa nihongo no sukoshi hanasemas, soredemo watashi wa nihongo no dai suki.
Nihongo no utsukushi desu. Seiyuu no nihonjin honto ni kawaiiiiiiiii desu.
Oyasumi nasai.

I guess that was like 60-70% of my total japanese "vocabulary". ^^

Special mention for probably the both most important japanese words in anime:
urusai, urusai, urusai...
baka... baka... baaaaaa-ka...

xD

Japanese is very simple in terms of sound.  

Learning the characters is hard, but it's not as difficult as it's cracked up to be.  

How come Japanese men usually sound angry when talking.  Same with Germans and can be said of Arabic.  One time at work two Iraqi's at my work were having a conversation and someone thought they were arguing.  They went up to them and asked what was wrong.  They then replied they were just having a conversation.

You should consume more media in those languages. They can be just as gentle as any other language. It's just that most of the media portrays them like that. It has nothing to do with language at all.

でも、日本語が難しです。

If you know enough Japanese to write that you're already more prepared to visit the country than 99.99% of tourists. Unless you mean immigrate, then yes, it's muzukashii as fuck.

I learn 2 kanji per workday, should mean about 500 kanji per year, and thus I will be able to get through all the essential kanji by year 4. I hope to be able to read books and talk fairly naturally by then. Of course kanji isn't everything so I have a lot of other studies too.

I recommend Wanikani. I currently learn on average 20 new vocab and Kanji every day, which is quite a fast pace but surprisingly manageable thanks to SRS. And even at that pace it still takes about 2 years to finish 2000 kanjis and about 6000 vocabs.
