Kanjikoohii. If you feel that the Heisig method feels good for you I recommend trying it out. It's more fun than traditional ways to learn kanji and even if it might take a little more time, you actually remember the ~2000 kanji after you're done.

Are you guys sure Japanese only use 2000+ kanji? If it is more than that like 3000 or more, I would passed out. By the way, is Chinese characters has more characters than Kanji?

Approximately 2,000 to 3,000 characters are in common use in Japan, a few thousand more find occasional use, and a total of about 13,000 characters can be encoded in various Japanese Industrial Standards for kanji.
Japanese school children are expected to learn 1,006 basic kanji characters, the kyōiku kanji, before finishing the sixth grade. The order in which these characters are learned is fixed. The kyōiku kanji list is a subset of a larger list, originally of 1,945 kanji characters, in 2010 extended to 2,136, known as the jōyō kanji – characters required for the level of fluency necessary to read newspapers and literature in Japanese. This larger list of characters is to be mastered by the end of the ninth grade.

Taken from Wikipedia.
There are like 50,000 or even more characters in total, but most of those are archaic.
With those ~2,000 basic kanji you should get along fine in Japan. Only for specialised literature you might need more. But I have no experience how long it takes to master those. There are even people who say that if you haven't learned reading Japanese starting in your early childhood, you will never be able to read a newspaper fluently. You will understand almost everything, but you will be far off "normal reading speed".
But I have never learned kanji - so it's just what I have read about it.

Can Japanese read newspaper fluently? If anyone wants a PDF, Kanji workbook, I can share with you guys. Just post PM or reply the thread here. I find Kanji, even though complicated but beautiful, you just got to understand the meaning of the radicals to memorize easily the complicated kanjis, like 木 just means tree. 林 means hayashi or forest, it is just combination of the radicals.
