Thanks for the replies, I think I’m going to stick with Heisig’s method through to about 1000 kanji and re-evaluate my position then, until then I’ll have TextFugu review days once or twice a week to maintain my knowledge. As for my already learned Kanji, Heisig’s method does a really good job of keeping stuff in my head and I don’t think it’ll be coming out any time soon. Thanks everybody, and thanks Hashi, Kanjiman, and Zelda for the sympathy.
Once again, I am getting worried about the upkeep of my previously learned material. I am currently at around kanji number 350 in Heisig’s method (finally got back in the loop after all the rigemroll of the summer), however everything I started to learn through TextFugu is starting to deteriorate. Just wanted to know if I should stick With Heisig’s method or stop for a bit and do some more TextFugu work (or try cramming in both). All I know that forgetting what I learned is a really horrible feeling. Oh, and I have been doing my anki cards every day.
青の祓魔師(エクソシスト）aka Ao no Exorcist, still one of my faves. If you are in to shows that are a little darker, you could try Claymore (クレイモア) or Berserk (ベルセルク).

@Kaona: I’m split in between Kaoru and Ai (Tsukasa is runner up) as of the ending of SS. I’m trying to get a little time in for SS+ (seems exiting), but I’m currently watching Cowboy Beebop on my own (don’t know how it has taken me this long to find that show), re-watching Claymore with my sister, studying Japanese, and getting ready for college. Not te mention my ‘to watch’ list… Busy, busy, busy.
@Yuna: No problem.
oh forgot the “@kaona” part on the last post, sorry for the confusion.
Heh, Amagami SS was pretty dece.
I’m Tom as well; I’m 18 and live near Chicago. My intro was a bit long though so I’ll just leave a link: http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/hello-from-a-town-near-chicago/.
I did around sixty twice, but I found around 40 works best for me, any less and it becomes too easy and I get less retention, more than that just becomes unpleasant.
Oh, I just remembered these, Japanese kids books from when I asked around a few weeks ago. It’s all in Hiragana too.

http://nihongo-dekimasu.blogspot.com/2008/11/japanese-childrenbooks-practice-reading.htmlLike I said, I was able to stumble through them all… Stumble… I find Kanji much harder (can only really remember 50-60 a day max, I’ve tried more to no avail). I think the only reason I managed to learn Katakana so fast was because I learned Hiragana only a week prior so my brain was already in ‘the mode’, and I literally spent all 18 hours of my day drilling them (with a few music/food/tofugu breaks). Woke up the next day and got through 100 katakana loan words in my anki vocab deck, took me over an hour, but I read them all. Dunno whats terribly hard to believe…
I could write all of the Katakana from memory on day one… sure it took some time, but that was part of my ‘all day one day’ practice session. I’m just saying learning Hiragana/Katakana isn’t as hard as some people make it out to be, you just need to really want to do it.
I mean that I could recognize any character without aid within 2 seconds, to me that’s what ‘knowing’ is. I would call reading as fast as English reading fluently. Reading fluently would take months of practice, and I’m still getting there, though I’m close with Hiragana.

I Laughed. Super secret method utilizing Powerpoints… HA!
I learned Hiragana in 3 days, and Katakana in one. Dunno how, just lots of self motivation. The one day for Katakana was all day though XD
HA!
