Getting started with japanese

Greetings /lang/,

I'm intrested in learning Japanese and need your help.

So, I'm reading the Japanese introduction on Wikibooks and it says for me to first master Kana (hiragana, katakana) and kanji. Is there an order on how I should learn each one or learn them all together? Say should I study hiragana for 3 hours then study katakana for 3 hours or learn them both as I go along? I ask this because I feel afriad I might get confused and stressed out. I want this to be fun and not feel like work.

Right now I'm using Wikibooks to study kana and kanji so If you have any books or websites you can recommend for studing kana and kanji let me know, thanks.

Source to end sources. It has interactive flash resources with recordings of native speakers, pdf files on verbs and adjectives and how to conjugate them, plus a bunch of other things like sample dialogs and overall grammar. This learning material is from a school in Tokyo for English speakers learning Japanese, alot if the material is based around preparing you for the annual Japanese Language Proficiency Test, which is a good thing.
