How to Create a Clean Immersion Setup?

Afternoon all,

Having passed N5 within a few months, N4 is now becoming a year-long slog. While I love Anki, having gone through the N4 Tango deck, I'm needlessly plodding along through Kaishi 1.5k while ambling through Bunpro's N4 grammar.

The only reason I've picked up Kaishi 1.5k is because I'm avoiding/procrastinating immersing, but no more!

I want to play though 'Shin-chan and the Coal Town' (クレヨンしんちゃん「炭の町のシロ」) first and foremost. Having skimmed through some let's play videos, I have a pretty good understanding so don't think it will be too difficult, but definitely n+1.

However, my Yomitan setup is bulky and there's no Agent script (?) that already exists.

Yomitan –

Here's what my Yomitan looks like when performing a look-up.

While the pitch-accent is useful, I have no bearing on what most everything else is and half the time the audio doesn't work and plays a scratching sound.

Is there anyway to amend the dictionaries so that it's a cleaner setup, similar to how the lookups are presented in Game-Gango's videos?

Immersion –

Using the Steam version, is it possible to use a simple combination of:

  1. Yomitan
  2. YomiNinja (GitHub)
  3. Something for audio
  4. AnkiConnect and Anki

That would create simple but effective Anki cards?

I've read through a number of guides previously (mostly via this sub), but they're buried deep in my bookmarks, and I always end up referring back to TheMoeWay (here), but it specifically references VNs and setups are always convoluted. Searching this sub, there's seemingly a million ways to skin the same cat, and everyone always has their preferences.

Ideally, a clean setup would be possible without having multiple programs that do the same/similar things installed at once, and I can instead go from game-to-game and create decent cards with minimal moving parts.

Any held/advice/guides/walkthroughs would be hugely appreciated.
