I've been learning Japanese on my own for 5 years while working full-time and I just passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2 with a great score. So speaking from experience, it's both worth it and doable.

I began to play some games in Japanese when I was like 1 year in, and I started to really enjoy them after struggling for a year or so. Now I'm at a level where I can pick up any Japanese game, manga or anime and enjoy it without much trouble.

If you decide to start learning, you are in luck, as the greatest apps, sources, books, etc. are all in English, and since you know Spanish the pronunciation side of things is going to be a lot easier.

In case you're interested, watch this video. Let me know if you want to know about the specific things I did, as everyone goes through a different journey with unique tools that may just work for you.
