Gets easier once you get comfortable with the "radical" system and what all the little picture elements derive from. Trust me, I had three years of college Japanese and ended up knowing, oh, easily 300 kanji! ;D But seriously, I look at those kanji and can tell them apart pretty much instantly, and I've haven't studied for, like, ten years now. You'll get the hang of 'em!
