Your learning process will also move much more slowly. So the best thing is to have a more formal study, but if you like the japanese pop media, it can aid your learning.
Am I gathering the right info here?

I would agree with that 100%. There is nothing wrong with soaking up J-media, that's a good thing, but it isn't intended to be a language tool, and therefore is sketchy.
