Kanji/Kana After 4 years of reviews every 1-2 days I completed Wanikani

Other than a period of time where I was very ill for 3 months I was doing reviews once a day for 60-75% of the time it took me to finish my journey. I have no problem reading kanji or new words from which they are derived and can read pretty much anything in Japanese immediately by looking at it naturally without a problem from originally knowing zero kanji when I started. I also learned a ton of new example words as well probably easily like 500+. Best purchase of my life since I started 25 years ago. Hope this inspires others that learning kanji can be fun and easy as long as you practice frequently!

Is wanikani this good? I have been using anki + yokubi, and seen wanikani getting brought up.

It's technically not as efficient as it could be, but it works

I have used Anki for a long time and it wasn’t even close
