Can you explain why is it better than Heisig? and what should I expect after using it?

Is it for memorizing the readings of kanji, the meanings, or both?
Yeah, I am confident about it. I learned how to write the kanji and onyomi for each kanji at the same time for little extra effort. Read the site.
What to expect after using it? If you start learning Japanese by using the Movie Method to learn on readings, you will "be able to read full blown novels after just 4 months". Read the site. Wink
Yeeeaaaahhh I don't buy it. "Full blown" meaning what, light novels? And "read" meaning what, pronounce the on-yomi you remember? It doesn't mean you understand the compound!

Let's take this as a reminder that there is never a magic bullet solution - smart studying is one thing, but expecting miracles without giving proper time/effort is just ludicrous.

p.s. I like the movie method and all, no disrespect, just think the authors' claims give the wrong idea.
