Kodanshi Kanji Learner's Course by Andrew Scott Conning. Worth its weight in gold. It uses the method of radical analysis as mentioned above and combines it with the kind of mnemonic descriptions developed by Heisig in Remembering the Kanji - for every single one of the 2300 featured characters. It covers all the jouyou kanji and the most frequent vocabulary used with each one, some common hyougai kanji, and has appendices covering irregular kanji combo readings, jinmeiyou kanji, kanji groups with identical onyomi and so on.

I have tried 3 ways: 1. Anki. It's really good for other languages and for remember words and kana. But not Kanji. Check decks https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/ - a lot of really good kanji decks. 2. WaniKani. Good course but i don't like app and price too high. But you can try free lessons. 3. Kanji Study. I really like this app. For me it's the best. And price free for N5 and for higher just 8usd. No ads in free version. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindtwisted.kanjistudy

I started with learning vocabulary and went through a 700 word list based on JLPT N5. It included both kana and kanji cards. I wasn't too interested in reading at the time (was more interested in listening), so this suited me. Then I decided I needed to read Japanese to learn and thus Kanji became necessary. I having a lot of luck with a method based on breaking the Kanji into pieces and then remembering each character as sort of a combination of its pieces. This is based on the method used in the Remembering the Kanji books, although I'm not using those books. Before I did this, the words that I "knew" the Kanji for, I basically only recognized vague shapes like lots of lines, especially horizontal lines with a box. After using this method, a Kanji becomes something like bird 鳥 + mountain 山　= island 島. This is much easier to learn than a collection of random lines. For instance, I think of it as birds rest on islands which are really just mountains partially under the sea. I've been trying to use the actual meanings for the parts, but it almost doesn't matter. What really matters is that you can recognize sub-pieces and reuse them. I'm trying to learn them in frequency order except learning parts before wholes. A lot of Kanji are used as part of another Kanji. I just started 7 days ago and I've gone through about 500 Kanji so far. I'll still need to review them a bunch of times before I really know them, but it has been much easier than I expected. I'm only trying to learn to recognize the Kanji and remember the meaning. It is probably much more difficult if you want to be able to right them as well, but I only plan to type them using hiragana input. If you want to follow this approach, check out the site koohii. The Kanji seem very closely related to the vocabulary meanings and pronunciations. I'm actually expecting learning the Kanji to speed up overall learning.

Anki is quite good tool for learning kanji.

If you've got hiragana down, next you should go for katakana. Unless you meant to say you've done both. There is no method for learning kanji that works for everyone. Some people literally just take a jouyou kanji dictionary and learn the kanji by writing them down and memorizing their meanings one by one, page by page. Others use Anki or similar flashcard services to memorize words (and kanji part of those words) rather than the individual pieces. While I believe both methods have their merits, I think learning words at the same time as the kanji is better. For example, you don't learn the "un" prefix, "tious" suffix, and "y" adjective suffix separately from the words they're part of in English (e.g. unrelated, fictitious, funny.) Either way, familiarizing yourself with the radicals will make learning kanji MUCH (I cannot stress this enough) easier to both understand and memorize. The version I learned shows you some outdated explanations for what the radicals mean (for instance it tells you that 貝 means shell which is true but its actual meaning when part of a character is "money") but for the most part they're correct. You can download the deck for free here but if you find a more up to date or accurate version then you can go ahead and use that: https://mega.nz/#!IAVVlBab!qQazRubQ3VZ_WjjLS4CclxYQF-6QGRtnmwd_zGBZpIo
