You're going to need to learn at least 2000 Kanji characters on top of Hiragana, Katakana and vocabulary to achieve conversational Japanese. It's a lot of hard work, but as I said, just keep at it and get a load of resources for learning. ^-^ Unfortunately, anime won't help you learn Japanese though, since you won't find people yelling "baka" and "senpai!!!" on the streets, haha.
