This video has been around a while but it floors me every time I watch it – it is so beautifully done by Kenichi Tanaka. I wish I had a 100th of his design talent. ^_^

Video: Kanji in 15 Minutes: April 19, 2011
Okay so maybe you won’t learn them all but perhaps a few kanji will sink in subliminally watching this amazing video. It features every unicode character from 0 – 65536 but fast-forward to 5:30 for the kanji to start. Each kanji is grouped by radical, which somehow makes them all a little easier to view.
