Katakana is easier to learn imho, since most of the written stuff is loan words and can be read even if you don't know any japanese. Hiragana doesn't help much if you don't actually know what the words mean..

kick off with hiragana, this ebook is what I used and over the coarse of about 10 hours I memorized them, that may seem short and maybe it will take you longer, but dont drag it out try to just power threw hiragana and get it over with
http://www.tofugu.com/shop/hiragana42-the-
answer-to-learning-hiragana/

Under no circumstance should you start with romaji that shit will screw you over so hard! if you learn romaji first the only thing You'll be doing is severely handicapping your self in the future,
DO NOT LEARN ROMAJI!

after you finish the hiragana42 ebook katakana can wait for a bit instead head over to http://www.textfugu.com/season-1/hard-way/?utm_source=tofugu&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=why

don't skip anything in the hiragana part its going to teach you some important shit hiragana42 didn't cover.

the first season of textfugu is free if you have the money to buy the rest do so, if not head over to
http://www.textfugu.com/lessons/

see how it gives descriptions of each lesson even the ones you cant access? copy and paste those one by one starting at season two in to a google
search and look them up,

also get a start on kanji as soon as you finish hiragana, for that use wanikna, also Anki.

some of the stuff Ive metioned here is only trials and after you finish the first part it will ask for some cash to continue but they are great places to start even if you dont uave the money to pay for the rest.

the above should give you a excellent start on your journey to learning japanese!

Don't take it 100% seriously, its hard to tell if hes trolling you or geniune because I don't feel like checking the links.

I recommend going to /a/ and finding the daily japanese training thread, I've never gone them but thats where most people are directed to and I'm sure at least the OP has some useful information, almost everyone in this thread is trying to troll you.

Kanji (and then kana) will disappear from Japanese within our lifetimes. I don't see how shaving a few excess letters off the English alphabet is such a big deal. It's not like anyone uses ſ or æ any more.
