Obtaining Anime Cheap and Legal Part II

BryAnime missed another great source of legal, free anime. Hulu. Series I've found FMA: Brotherhood, a few seasons of Bleach, and the first season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya on there. I have also found Samurai Champloo's entire run. Inuyasha has a total of 167 episodes posted. It also appears they have some amount of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Death Note, as well. For those who love the subbed version, I have good news. All the anime I've found on Hulu is subbed, not dubbed. Their selection is somewhat more limited than Netflix, though. Still, it's worth checking them out to see if they offer what you're looking for. You'll get a faster return than through Netflix. All their shows can be run at 480p, which isn't bad for a streamed video. Netflix does run adds during the show, but these are all 30 seconds or less, so it's completely worth it. Sub quality is better than most fansubs, and you're still going to be supporting the people who make the shows.

Adult Swim's website will also offer a few episodes of a number of animes at a time, so it's worth checking them out, too.

Most of the anime companies have heard the cries of their fans, and have taken advantage of video streaming websites to get their shows into the public's hands for free. Everybody can win!
