Trying a new trick; not done with it.
First, I've been able to get Anki to stop being so hard I can't learn (I tend to forget the word as soon as I'm no longer looking at the flashcard). Bury enough cards that you've only got like 3; then learn them.
I want to automate the process. Looks like someone's gone a long way toward it:

This gets you an Excel spreadsheet with the word; the ふりがな; and the English meaning.
This page looks like it has a way to convert Excel to Anki by way of a .csv file:

I haven't tested it yet, but will soon.
