I'm a bit of a language nerd, the two languages aside from English I would claim to actually be able to know are Spanish and Japanese, at a push French (to read and write), but I haven't used it in so long that I have zero confidence with it. But, I also technically know several to lower levels. I'm also one of the organisers in a large language exchange group so I have a lot of exposure to a lot of people who also study many languages. So, I think I can give good advice on this.
If you guys seriously want to learn Japanese, then I would advise not doing that. Like, at all. This stands for any language, not just Japanese, but especially with a language like Japanese. Subtitles in your own language are good for saying "its pure therefore good" and nothing more. I'm going to stress this a little because wanting to learn Japanese through Japanese entertainment with English subtitles is a thing thats pretty unique to Japanese and definitely causes newcomers harm.
I've translated music videos, frequently listen to and watch foreign media in other languages. The only time I've found subtitles to be helpful have been when they're in that medias native language, English subtitles have never helped one jot. If anything, they've become a hindrance.
I also don't think I've ever seen someone who is good in a foreign language - who has studied that language as an adult (i.e. not growing up in a multilingual environment or learned it as a kid) advise using subtitles in your own language - whether those subs are faithful or otherwise. Consistently, just about everyone I know, have used subtitles in the language they're studying almost exclusively - unless they're watching something just to chill out or are basically fluent in the language and use them as a fallback in case they zone out - but even then, they aren't learning anything.
Firstly, if the subtitles are in anything other than the medias native language then they aren't going to match, not only with word order but with the kinds of words that are used in certain situations not matching between languages - which causes big problems, and with forms of expression differing between languages. Even when you're confident in a language you'll get a lot of "I understand all the words but have no idea what you said" situations. So, if the subs are in English you're going to find yourself even more confused or doubting the subs.
Secondly, if it's a direct translation the output is often garbage that is more difficult to understand than a localisation that's keeping the intent intact.
The biggest problem is that when the subs are in English, if you don't understand stuff (and that's going to be a lot), then you're going to have real trouble figuring out what was said. If the subs are in the native language, then you can pause, read, look up, translate, note the new vocab, look up what the hell is going on with that weird grammar or phrase, ask questions of people, and start to understand it. 90% of learning another language is doing just that.
So, if you want to learn Japanese, and use entertainment media to learn, then you want the subtitles in Japanese, and be prepared not to enjoy the content until you're at least intermediate level. If you have English subs, you'll get nothing out of it I'm afraid.
I'd also recommend avoiding content like this until you're able to understand enough that subs exist as a fallback, and generally to be careful with anything that might sound a little bit anime. Something people overlook with Japanese, when people say they want to learn Japanese through anime-ish entertainment is no different to someone saying that they want to learn Spanish through Reggaeton. One can enjoy Reggaeton, but one does not try to understand the Reggaeton until they understand the Reggaeton. If you get what I mean.
I mean, you could understand FFVII more or less in a year or two. Start with Genki or Japanese From Zero (both very good books). Genki Vol1 / JFZ 1, 2 and 3 are pretty much covering the same content. The Japanese From Zero YouTube channel is a treasure trove. Then, read short stories.
As soon as you're able to understand basic sentences, you want to download HelloTalk - this is an app that allows you to talk to native speakers and help each other. It also has study groups, teachers and loads of other stuff. It's probably the best way to learn a language quickly because you're using the language and meeting people who speak that language natively. HelloTalk is the best one, there is another called Tandem, but that was just people trying to hit on me, I know others (women) who amassed enough dick pics to start a porn site, so I wouldn't recommend Tandem. Unless you want a desperado GF/BF or to start a porn site.
