What are the developmental stages of getting good at drawing anime?

Looking for a flow chart or some kind of info graphic that explains the steps needed to take in order for someone with no drawing experience at all to be able to draw anime. Kind of like a course schedule for a major, with prerequisites and stuff. I've heard that you have to learn how to draw normal humans before stylizing them to an anime style, but I've also heard that it's not completely necessary.
Can't really find a full blown step by step process on what direction to head in, and most English tutorials seem to have a "westernized" influence/feeling to the art. It doesn't feel authentic.

>inb4 degenerate, anime gay, its only a phase
I don't care about any other art at all and I know there are other people that share the same opinion.
