/jp/ - Otaku Culture

After reading the sticky and the suggested resources, I am left with one question I would appreciate you guys' help with.
What is the ideal series/package to purchase to take me from beginner to fluent?
I've seen some love for Genki and 'Remembering the Kanji' but which, if any, is the best? If someone could compile a complete course (including but not limited to textbooks, CDs), that would be awesome.
I understand that this is probably posted everyday, but I couldn't find something like this in the guide.
Cheers.
