Thora Wrote:A kanji order based on how they function in the language might have some advantages in the long run over an order based entirely on consistency of pace or difficulty. There are other ways to manage that. Stats and graphs sometimes miss how we actually absorb language. Fuzzy non-linear plots aren't always a bad thing. 
At some other phases of the learning process I'd agree but where I'm right now consistency is the best approach for me. Learning is fun but when I get a difficult sentence introducing a simple and common kanji it really ticks me off. I get distracted this way, thinking about how stupid you have to be to think its a good example etc., doesn't help with my motivation either.

Thats exactly what I'm trying to avoid, getting too hard sentences before I get good enough for them. I don't subscribe to the whole sink-or-swim attitude, at least not if its about learning languages. I'd even dare to call AJATT sub-optimal with its "immersion" since day one advice. I think time is better spent working on the basics rather than bombarding your brain with useless information (for now, since your brain can't process it). If it had worked that way we'd all see thousands of anime freaks speaking perfect Japanese
