Fundamentals and Anime/Manga? Image is not my work

I've been trying to think about what makes an artist "well rounded" to identify skills that I need to learn as an aspiring Illustrator/Concept Artist. This all started from an observation I made about Anime/Manga, in that, when I was younger I used to want to draw Anime/Manga all the time and it would be all I drew. However now I look at most Anime/Manga and see certain fundamentals and aspects of drawing focused on and exaggerated and other aspects either ignored or toned down (This isn't exclusive to Anime/Manga, American Comics do it tool). I know all Anime/Manga doesn't focus on some aspects of drawing due to either of these two things: A. It would cost (or take too much time) to traditionally animate that shit for a TV series, or B. The creator picked certain aspects of drawing and developed a style with it. Some Anime/Manga is more "realistic" or makes more use of fundamentals and some is more stylized. I dropped drawing Anime completely a year ago, because as I learned more, the less I thought drawing Anime/Manga would be helpful to my practice. Don't get me wrong if you like drawing Anime/Manga go for it, But I beg you please either incorporate fundamentals with it or learn fundamentals first. Eventually when I think I'm better at drawing I'll endulge in drawing Anime but right now I'll gladly except that I'm bad and I want the most optimal road to my own improvement.
After doing some thinking I came up with a list of as many Fundamentals/Aspects of drawing as I could think of.
- Perspective
- Composition
- Silhouette/Contour
- Inner Contour
- Cross Contour
- Value Scaling
- Shading
- Technical Drawing
- Gesture
- Anatomy
- Light and Shadow
- Design
- Color Picking
- Color Theory
- Coloring
I'm not sure if this list is complete please add to it, I'd love to hear your opinion on this topic, this is my experience share yours /ic/.
tl;dr? Put down the hentai and become a fundiesfag or you're never gonna make it....jk
I wish you guys best of luck!

You literally listed everything.
Whatever, in my opinion these things are necessary to make something look good:
>proportions
>perspective
>sense of depth
>composition
Regarding to rendering:
>hard shadows
>understanding contour
By what i've seen manga drawing is "stylized proportions+construction+anime face"
It can look really cool if you don't just paste the anime face on head but integrate it on the anatomy of the head.
I'm a shitter but i'm intending to make a hentai doujin but my first two walls are proportion and perspective.
I'm trying to draw as many hands legs and feet i can because i don't have any other reference than my own body.
Another key on anime/manga drawing is that i've noticed is that lacks of the "ugly features of human body" like cellulite in fat bodies, the teeth, the way the hair behaves in real life, the feet and hands looking rough.

The primary ones are basic form, proportions, perspective, lighting/shading, coloring, and gesture.
Coloring can be dropped and replaced with just values but I'm including them both there.
Everything else will of course make things look better, but these are the minimum to make things look right. Even anatomy isn't all that important as long as you get proportions and forms correct.

Inking, Hatching, Linework, and Stylization are also very important for Comics/Manga.
In fact, Style is MORE important for comics/manga than anything else. Thus, learn a bit of graphic design/design theory.

Oh yes, I forgot. Panneling, Storyboarding, Flow, and Visual Storytelling. Learn a bit of Cinematography too.
