I'm roughly at N3 level and every single anime I tried watching was full of words I've never seen in my life. I tried watching anime recommended by Natively as being low N3 and still unless I pause ever 1-2 sentences I don't really understand anything. I can't imagine other N3s being able to understand either as many words are N2/N1+.
Do you generally pause at every sentence and check words/grammar? Are you okay with not understanding 70% of content and just try your best to enjoy the show regardless? Like none of the time I spent watching anime feel fruitful to me but maybe I'm doing something wrong. For context, I watch anime on Netflix with Language Reactor on.
