Thoughts on this card format?
(there is audio for the sentence taken from the audiobook on the back, btw)

Rationale for no kanji on the front:
1) Kanji provide clues as to the meanings of words. This lets you cheat when trying to understand the word/sentence (they also let you cheat in other ways, e.g. via their function as a sentence segmenter as described below).
2) Since there are no clear boundaries between words, it becomes more difficult to visually break down the sentence, forcing you to actually consciously read it in order to make sense of it. This will hopefully act to counter a commonly mentioned problem with sentence cards which is that, after a time, one glance at the sentence is all it takes for you to remember the word you're being tested on. If you can't visually break down the sentence at a glance (because there are no kanji), you have to actually read it.

The downside to this is that obviously you end up not actually being tested on kanji reading ability. To get around that, I was thinking of having a second set of cards in the deck which would be like QM's anime cards (my cards will contain all the necessary data on them to become anime cards anyway so I may as well make use of said data), but I would only test on the reading for these cards and probably just have vocab audio rather than sentence audio on the back.
