Complete Guardian Anki Decks

So that only took me a year...
I made three decks out of
nnozomi's Guardian vocabulary list.
1) a Vocab learning only deck
2) a Hanzi writing only deck
3) a combined deck with both
The cards look like this:

Front Side of the Vocab card. The back side of course contains the translation (of both the word and the example sentence), and it pronounces the Hanzi using text-to-speech. Note: If you can't hear the sounds being pronounced, you will have to install text-to-speech for Chinese for your OS. Phones usually have it pre-installed (even for Chinese), but Windows needs a separate region/language for it, and I don't know about Mac OS.

Back Side of the Writing card. The front side lets you write the character on your own, the back side writes the character for you (and you can write along if you want). It pronounces the Hanzi both on front and back, and it includes an example word, because most Hanzi on their own don't mean anything (much) and are impossible to tell apart by pronunciation only.
Here are the decks for download:
The Chinese font embedded in the deck is 32MB in size. /o\ So I made versions with and without the font. Feel free to try it out: you probably only need one of the font-included ones.
Big (with font) :
Vocab Only Deck
Writing Only Deck
Combined Deck
Small (without font) :
Vocab Only Deck
Writing Only Deck
Combined Deck
p.s.: full disclosure: on my very old android tablet, the writing deck sometimes crashes ankidroid. It doesn't lose any progress, though (except for the card shown when it crashed). I tried it with a newer android phone, and it worked without problems.
ETA: I updated all the decks on 2021-04-17 (current version: v8). They now contain the "meaning" for all the Writing cards as well, which were missing before. Many thanks to
nnozomi for helping to add them. To update your deck, simply import it into anki, and it will notice that it's a newer version of the older deck and update it. Your studying progress will not be affected by that import.
