I'd like to know what level of language proficiency one would need to enjoy an anime fairly comfortably, or read manga? What amount of vocab/kanji would you need to know?

I realize different anime/manga will require different levels, so we'll say "Naruto" since it's so popular. And would this level of Japanese be the standard level to enjoy general Japanese television/films?


Presumably you wouldn't need be of JLPT 1 proficiency..

This was one of my goals on the way to fluency, so I'd like to know how far along the road it lies.
