Hello Ben! Japanese is cool. I never watched the Japanese illustration, they are not interesting to me. I am glad that at least someone is watching them. However, the Japanese language is very difficult, in this I wish you good luck!
We at school learn English. On request, we can also learn French, Italian, Spanish. I know only their native Russian and English, other languages do not want to learn. I do not consider it necessary. I believe that each person chooses what he longer needed. I chose English - you're Japanese. I think what you have done with correct choice.

Best wishes

Alex
