Anki deck- includes kanji far beyond the learner's level.

[ilar]

Genki seems to introduce some kanji just as a preview of sorts- kanji that you are absolutely not expected to know or memorize, e.g. 誕生日. The anki decks associated with each lesson seem to treat these kanji/phrases/etc as things you're expected to memorize and know, despite them involving kanji far above the Genki 1/2 level.

They should probably be removed from the decks.

Edit: alternatively the furigana could be always shown for those kanji instead of hidden by default to match the genki books as well.

I had the same issue with kanji and I resolved it by changing the styling of the deck.

It isn't perfect, but good enough for me and I feel like I am finally learning the vocabulary while familiarizing myself with more advanced kanji.

To do this: open Edit -> Click Cards -> In Template check Styling and change the styling.I am using night mode, so I changed the values for nightmode only. You can adjust the values to your liking.

/* Night Mode CSS */
.nightMode hr { border-color:#555; }
.nightMode ruby rt {
  color:#AAA;
  background:none;
  border-color:transparent;
}
.nightMode ruby:hover rt {
  color:#AAA;
  background:none;
  border-color:transparent;
}
.nightMode.card {
  color:#CCC;
  background-color:#222;
}

Hello! The solution remique posted above should be helpful if you want to display the furigana immediately.

By default, you can hover over or click on the word in the card to reveal the furigana above the kanji. I set it up this way to aid with memorization. That is, if you don't know it, you can hover over to see the reading. Afterwards when you see the word again, you can challenge yourself by trying to recall the reading for it. If you can't, then you can hover over to reveal it, and essentially repeat this process until you can recall the reading without relying on the furigana.
