going through line by line, looking up words and reasoning out the meaning of each sentance, helped by having gone through a fair amount of the structure lessons.
Doesnt sound like the most efficient way of doing things, and especially doesn't sound fun. I would say atleast do a series "deep dive" to pursue a full understanding of all the words in an anime series example, "deep dive" being what I have seen as referring to re-watching the series repeatedly. I think this would reinforce everything you learn from the series AND get you closer to comprehending most sentences without emphasis on hanging on certain sentences and their words for a long amount of time.
I like AJATT and I like some of the rethink Matt vs Japan has brought forward.
I think good initial textbook/theory learning, apart from kanji with heisig of course, would be on pronunciation things like pitch accent which enhances your comprehension at your novice level, then just stick to comprehension of media, spaced repetition, just mass immersion like ajatt is all about. Im not really sure if being strict about no output is that meaningful but input is definitely vastly more important of course.
