In case you couldn’t tell, a little over a week ago, I gave Anki another try, and I’ve only been putting a token effort into Wanikani, since most of my time is devoted to Anki instead. Hopefully once I get through the Anki deck, I can start seriously whittling down my WK review mountain again.

Today, Anki actively harmed me on Wanikani, rather than just computing for scarce time. 克服 came up for burn review on WK today, and it is also in the Anki deck I’ve been studying recently. In the Anki deck, 克服 is listed as “overcoming”, so that’s what I put, but WK expects “conquest”. Of course I added a synonym on WK, and I’ll probably remember that it means both next time, but it’s still annoying that I missed burning it due to that and that I’ll have to wait for it to go Guru 2 → Master → Enlightened → Burned all over again.
延びる also came up on WK, which I missed due to putting “to grow longer”, but it turns out that that is 伸びる. I’ve had a lot of trouble remembering those words on WK in the past, but it certainly doesn’t help that I didn’t realize there were actually two separate words with the same reading and different meanings. At least now I know that I’ll have to pay attention to the kanji to guess the meaning.
On the bright side, my +30 Day Review count still dipped below 4900 for the first time today.

This morning was a disappointment, but I did really well on WK this evening, in both speed and accuracy. In fact, I did a rare second session this evening and did equally great on both, so i wasn’t just entirely luck either.
Of course, the downside of getting through reviews really fast is that it also means I get mentally tired and have to quit really fast as well - this evening, I had to stop after only 6 and 9 minutes, having down 35 and 50 reviews respectively. But it’s a lot better than the alternative!
Also, another Anki-induced synonym fail on WK this evening, when I put “recovery” for 回復 rather than the “restoration” that WK expects. Previously, I had studied on 回復 and got tripped up, guessing “restoration” when the card said “recovery”.

In honor of it being six months since I reset to level 46, here is a new progress chart!
As you can see, there is a clear downward trend over time. My review count has been creeping back up lately because I’ve only been making a token effort at Wanikani for the last two and a half weeks due to being busy with other stuff. However, once I expect to start doing WK again in earnest in two weeks or so, and crush my review pile again, just like every previous time I came back after a hiatus.
Furthermore, my +30 day review count has continued to go down during this period, slowly, but steadily, and I think it makes for a better measure of long term progress, so even though it doesn’t look like it, I am making a small amount of progress every day.

First day in a while that my +30 review count didn’t go down. Oh well, you can’t win 'em all. There was one burn review I almost got - I could remember that 栄える was either saka or hii, but guessed the later (confusing it with 秀でる).

Just had an amazing session in which I burned more items than the last week put together! Although I was a bit embarrassed to miss 成程 and 食欲.
It’s funny how I still get disappointed, even when I’m consistently hitting 80+% accuracy at high speed, like my abortive attempt to do WK this evening where I quit after only two minutes (and 11 reviews). In that case I was disappointed because I missed a couple of Burn/Enlighten reviews that I should have known.
Still, it’s a testament to the progress I’ve made. In the past, I would have killed to be getting 80+% accuracy and 5 reviews a minute.

This week’s leech review went a lot better, presumably because I haven’t been doing much WK lately so there are fewer leeches to worry about, and I cleared a lot of them out last week. This time, it only took me 31 minutes to get through them.

Lately, I’ve been consistently getting 80+% accuracy, so I was pretty shocked when both times I tried to do WK today, I got only 55% accuracy and was forced to give up after just a couple minutes.
