For those not interested in calligraphy, I honestly wouldn't stress stroke order for individual characters that much. If you learn the radicals properly, you will know their stroke order and thereby be able to write large complicated characters correctly for the most part, just remember the golden rule "Top to bottom, left to right" and it's easy. I didn't pay any attention to stroke order before taking a calligraphy class at my Japanese high school. Each to their own though, whatever works for you is best :)

It is a Chinese site, but they really like both Japanese TV and pirating, so there's a huge amount of Japanese TV and movies on there.
