Start with the first half of the intro Japanese textbook and then you need just a little specialized vocabulary for video games and anime. 

There are many english phrases to begin with such as: "PRESS START" means "PRESS START" and "maido" means "maid" and "pantsu" means "panties" and "sex" means "sex".

Then there are words that are too informal or archaic to be in the textbook such as "Zakenna", "Goshojin-sama" and "Ojou" that will come up all the time.

Gun Gun Pixies is a good game to import;  I think it does have a plot but it will just make you feel bad if you know what it is so you can be happy and ignorant.

I expect to play more games in Japanese and probably go skiing for real in Japan next year.

Neptunia also demonstrated the huge commercial potential of personifications and showed how to go about it systematically.  Thus Tsunako's work is an inspiration to Kantai Collection,  Kemono Friends, Fate Grand/Order,...

LNs aren't usually picked up for a similar reason. The anime was licensed and dubbed, but no one ever picked up the Director's Cut episodes for S1 or the movie, so I don't think it was selling that well. The only other thing that maybe had a shot at being picked up was a manga, but the only manga it had (that I'm aware of) was cancelled due to problems with the quality.
