For those who feel that methods like RTK and KanjiDamage take too much time, but don't feel confident diving head-first into kanji as with the kanji-through-vocab approach described above, one method to consider is simply dedicating a week or two to studying radicals - the 200 or so building-blocks which make up the kanji. This approach, rather than teaching you to write and recognise a set of ~2000 common kanji, gives your brain the information it needs to mentally deconstruct the kanji it encounters into their base components, which may make it easier for you to both learn to recognise them and to avoid mixing them up with other kanji which look similar. In any case, it should stop your brain from seeing them as simply a bunch of random squiggles. You can find an Anki deck here which contains all of the radicals, along with their meanings in English.

GeneticKanji - Slightly undeveloped alternative to the liberal ranting, poor jokery and the downright misinformation in KanjiDamage. It is presented in a fashion of frequency while covering the individual elements that make up a given kanji. In GeneticKanji’s approach, you would be taught all the subcomponents of these common kanji, and then the common kanji themselves, effectively combining both approaches.

Kangxi Radicals - An Anki deck with more accurate meanings for the radicals than other available resources. Comes with only recognition-style cards (radical on the front, meaning on the back) by default, but you can change them to recall-style cards (meaning on the front, radical on the back), because the deck disambiguates variants.

Kanji Radical (Primitive) - Contains all 214 radicals, their alternative forms (which may be used more often or even exclusively instead of the 'proper' form), their meaning (which is sometimes related to the kanji they appear in) and their Japanese readings (which there isn't really any point in learning). Compared to the deck above, this has more information but may be less accurate. Has both recognition and recall cards.
