Anki flow to pre-study for a Japanese game/book

By strategic, I mean I only learn a handful of vocab that is frequently used - any other vocab I'll attempt to pick up when I see them. This should enable me to understand a significant chunk of the game/book with minimal time spent studying. There are tons of forum threads on doing this, but I couldn't find a comprehensive and easy-to-follow tutorial while I struggled with the tools, so I decided to write my own flow down for future reference.
