domo 4channeru, clipwatcher here.
What am I supposed to do? learn Japanese in my free time? that's not fun at all, I watch these cute anime girls for entertainment, I grew up with subbed anime, it's just how things are.
The only vtuber I can watch is Amelia..

Your choices are:
1. Just stay a clipfag
2. Learn Japanese while watching to help reinforce your learning
3. Watch them without learning and just spam 草 whenever the chat does

The choice is yours

in 20 years Japan will accept english as their national language. So you'll be good unless you off yourself before then.

10+ years for complete fluency, but sooner/later depending on how much you immerse yourself in the language

Then you should know a bunch of common words via pattern recognition.

That's bullshit. I spent almost 20 years watching YGO and Sentai, and I can get the gist of most holos talking unless they have weird speech patterns (like Miko/Luna or Polka when she starts going off) or talk about really specific niche stuff like Botan. If it's a subject I already know about (like Pekora playing FF-X), I don't even need to properly pay attention and can keep up with it as background noise.
I'm just completely lost when it comes to written Japanese.

This. I watched Senchou's Subnautica streams recently and I'm surprised at how much I can understand.

It really depends on the genre. If all you watch are fantasy action shonen animes, you'd most likely won't have any good vocabulary used in a normal conversation. Watch some slice-of-life or even sitcoms once in a while and you can have some amount of what is used in everyday conversation.

Spend like 2 weeks learning Hiragana. After the first week you'll already be able to read a lot of stuff and if that doesn't get you started, dunno what will. You already know a bunch of words and patterns from watching anime.

This is true, listening is the easiest part to learn about japanese, and you can get good at this within even 1-2 years.
The bulk of the problem is reading/writing Kanji.

Watch Amatsuka Uto. She gives the HoloJP experience. Her chat is 90% EN and she can interact with it.

It's too late, by the time you learn Japanese all of your favorites will be retired

Amelia is pretty based though. Pikamee is great too if you have any interest in learning Japanese, at least that's my unilingual 2 cents
