If you learn 3 kanji a day for two years straight, you will have almost 2200 kanji under your belt at the end of those two years.

Lol, true, but learning a language isn't strictly mathematical. If it were, I'd suck at languages, too XD .
But, I agree, a year should be more than enough to learn enough Kanji to get by in Japan. Two to be able to read Japanese literature.
As with any language, though, reading is the easy part. Speaking and listening are where you get caught up.
