greetings and salutations everyone! I wish to offer my aid in making your anime experience more diverse and enjoyable!
Now first a question. When is piracy not piracy? When its available for free with the creators permission ^_^
I shall now provide links to some grand sources of animeness~
http://www.crunchyroll.com/ originally one of those pirates of anime, crunchyroll after facing legalness decided not to just close down and instead took crazy action! They bought the rights to subbed anime showing and let peoples watch subbed anime for free on their website~
They have a wide range of anime and its all free~
the catch? well no dubbed anime, very little older material and any super recent titles (like episodes within a month) are paying member only. Despite that it has a free section large enough to keep someone busy for months on end 8D
Also they have become so grand that they are actually commisioning studios to MAKE specific anime titles for them. (wiki them for more info)

Alot of telavision stations and other broadcasting groups like to post their episodes online for people to maybe watch a few episodes which will maybe get them into the show, let them catch a missed episode or entice them into buying the dvd version.
Soooo a website came along which is owned by six or so different companies who will post up all of these streamed videos for your enjoyment ^^
It has a load of fun anime such as nerima daikon brothers and a number of american telavision shows and (oddly enough) korean drama's.

And lastly a semi reliable source for manga~ Manga companies such as this will on occasion post up material from their mangas for people to view legally! In the case of this perticular one it is revealing the last thirty chapters of the manga Rin-Ne (from the person who brought us urasai yatsura, ranma 1/2 and inuyasha) that have been translated into english.
It might not be much but with these links you can view and enjoy anime and manga for free without legal troubles and have fun! ^^ (now if only i could find something as reliable for video games ^^; )
