Reminds me of when I got my first agent and my second audition turned into a national SAG spot. It was beginners luck, but at least I had an agent and got really nicely compensated. I spent a lot of time after that trying to elarn the business. Not so many books back then and almost nobody from the actual industry, like agents, producers etc that were available for input. The most important thing I did was to really work on improv acting and tradiional stage acting skills.
I hope you had some appropriate help in negotiating this contract and that you're not just working for copy and credits - some of the anime companies are known for this.
If you don't have an agent, try and use this as a way to obtain one. Let them negotiate your deals and they'll take a cut. If you do have an agent and you trust them, then listen to their suggestions.
Your overall tone suggests that you could be highly marketable for commercial, animation and game work. Your commercial demo though is rather spotty and I can't truly sense whether you know how to act or might be able to take direction. For something self-produced it isn't bad, but "isn't bad" doesn't cut it in the voice acting world.
