You could do what I do: Use the native media deck for listening/parsing sentences (video clips on the front, kanji + kana + meaning on the back), but before you do that, grab all the new vocabulary, however many you're comfortable with, from that deck and unsuspend the cards from KO2001/smart.fm decks that contain those words. Those sentences I do full-on as Recognition cards, deconstructing, listening, subvocalizing, speaking, writing/typing/etc., vocabulary. When there are words in the native media deck that aren't in the smart.fm/KO2001 decks, make individual cards for them and use Third's Anki plugin (see last post in 'JDIC sound files' thread) or cb4960's Rikaichan plugin for the audio or whatever.
If you just do 25-50 sentences per episode or whatever, there's not going to be a huge wait before you get back to SRSing that native media deck, and it's sooo much easier to just focus on it the way you would if you were watching it (i.e. SRSing video clips and just focusing on understanding) with all the necessary words mature in your brain. Plus you've got the benefit of the smart.fm/KO2001 decks in the sense that you're working all your more robust skills.
I also timebox, but that's just a general rule. See my 'time hacks' thread for more on that.
Anyway I know I've written about my strategy before, but I love it and can't stop recommending. I call the smart.fm/KO2001 decks my 'general reference corpora' (see my related posts in Goodbye Sentences thread), alongside the deck for individual words that I think of as 'extemporaneous' (because I also use it for any words or phrases I come across and find interesting), and the native media decks are the 'specialized monitor corpora'.
Then there's that huge 8555 sentence grammar deck for SRSing grammar points...
Hopefully Blahah (see 'SRS idea' thread) will soon write an awesome plugin for notifying you when cards are mature and ready to transition back to the native media deck (no pressure, Blahah), so that'll streamline things further. Plus there's the ability of Stardict to copy individual words to a text file, and likewise with Rikaichan, so you can immediately add new words from the Anki browser of the native media deck to a text file, then look those up in the other decks or create individual cards with audio on the fly thanks to the aforementioned JDIC Anki plugin.
Edit: Oh and other exciting developments of course are balloonguy's interactive audio/transcript tool (see a bunch of threads where I mention 'Kage Shibari') which uses Transcriber annotations, and cb4960 might put .trs (the files Transcriber uses) in subs2srs so we can easily SRS books/stories/whatever in addition to having that bite-sized interactive book/video stuff outside the SRS. But I digress...
