Trying to Improve Listening. Suggestions Needed

Hello! I’m around a N4 level and I’m trying to improve my listening. I listen to podcast but lately I’ve tried to watch some slice of life shows and animes. I usually listen with English subtitles but that’s not helpful since the captions are less of a direct translation and more of an interpretation. Maybe I’m going about this wrong. Any suggestions of improving my listening is appreciated.
