I recommend college books like "Learn Japanese" by Young and Nakajima-Okano, and I heard "Genki" was good too.

Take a Japanese course at a community college. If you REALLY want to learn that is the way to do it, and if you get a great teacher you will be in heaven

'Cause you need the Microsoft IME for Japanese. And it is WAY easier to type Japanese with JWPce than the IME. So don't spend much time on the IME, and download JWPce instead.

To download JWPce:

Well, as "Inuyasha" is a proper Japanese word/name, you'd usually write it in kanji, not in katakana. Katakana is usually used to write foreign words or loan words, such as "koohii" (coffee), "keeki" (cake), and so on.

By the way, MetalGear RAY, a hand-written "watashi" would look more like this, (the component on the right that looks like a katakana "mu" and means "private", I think) is usually written a bit smaller in handwriting. There's often a marked difference between hand-written and printed kanji.
