Wow - I just tried Ringo-Tan at your recommendation. That is really great! Better than DuoLingo (which I recommended below) because of the available WaniKani ordering of kanji.

Yeah, idk about the stroke recognition here, though arguably I’m still bad at it. Also you may want to get some kanji writing paper for later.

I always practice writing Kanji when I first get introduced to them by writing them a few times, because it helps me memorize them much quicker and it’s easier to recognize minor stroke differences between similar looking kanji. It also helps me later on to look up complicated kanji I don’t know by handwriting them on my phone app, since I know how to write smaller components. I don’t obsess over practicing them though too much. Whenever the kanji shows up in a review, I practice writing it once or twice before moving on and that’s it. My main goal is to be able to recognize and read everything quickly. I see handwriting kanji as a secondary goal that I will ultimately focus on after I hit level 60.

I did buy a package of grid paper from a local Daiso a long time ago to use when I start caring about handwriting quality. 
@simias I downloaded the newest Anki to try out your deck with your suspended card technique recommendation, and all I can say is THANK YOU. Being able to SRS the kanji recall (with the Anki deck) along with the recognition (on WaniKani) and having the scheduling done for me is huge. The deck is excellent, I love all the contextual information (like vocab) provided so I know which kanji is actually being asked for.
