I started CardCaptor Sakura with JP subs when I could only understand ~20% and within a few episodes I felt that I could generally understand what was happening even if I didn't know every word. I set a goal that I would try to mine around 2-5 cards per episode, besides the first episode where I mined like 15, and I felt like that struck a good balance between learning without constantly pausing. Its important to get used to immersing even when you barely understand, and you will be surprised at how quickly you improve.
