The Guide and Thread For Free, Legally Streaming Anime: Volume II

[GWOtaku]

Since the first Toonzone thread and guide to free and legal anime on the internet was created, literally dozens of additional titles have been made available. So much has been added, in fact, that the space limits of the old guide were already starting to be pushed. With the spring 2010 season only a short time away, the time is right to start anew and open up extra space.

As before, this thread will host a comprehensive list of free anime online and serve as catch-all location for fresh news about legal streaming. Have new episodes of a series been uploaded? Have you seen news of a new stream? Post it here. General discussion about the various streaming services is also fair game.

Curious about what's streaming and running in Japan right now? Visit the appendix in post #10 for a simulcast schedule.

Now, on to the shows!

The Toonzone Anime Forum Guide For Free, Legally Streaming Anime

Last Update: April 24, 2011

Note: With a few exceptions here and there, series descriptions are official or are from a third party source when necessary (usually Anime News Network's Encyclopedia). Most were not written by me, so credit goes where it's due. If you see a description that you feel is lacking, submissions will be accepted for a replacement.

These are the major streaming services you will encounter here most often.

• Anime Network: Not to be confused with the on-demand channel, Anime Network mostly offers streams of anime licensed by ADV Films/Section23 to the United States and Canada. Recently its streams were made available for the United Kingdom, and a sister site for the UK was added. Many of its streams require registration to work, but it's free. There is a paid subscription option for those that want everything it has to offer.
• Anime News Network Player: A unique creature, the ANN player is mostly a hub of sorts for streams from multiple sources. Some may prefer its interface or video player compared to other services.
• Crunchyroll: Streaming legally since Spring 2009, Crunchyroll offers many streams of anime that are currently running in Japan as well as several unique streams that are unavailable elsewhere. Perhaps most notably, many of its streams are global (outside of Japan) and viewable by most countries. For a fee membership allows greater access, but this list includes what it offers for free.
• FUNimation Video: The player of choice for FUNimation Entertainment. The vast majority of FUNimation streams are available via this service. This service currently streams to the United States and Canada.
• Hulu: A mainstream, free video website for TV shows. All streams are currently limited to the United States only.
• Toonzaki: A video website run by 4Kids Entertainment. Its listings do not appear in the guide at this time, but it is another hub website mostly dominated by Hulu streams.
• Youtube Shows: Among other cartoons youtube streams many anime from Bandai Entertainment, FUNimation, and more to the U.S. and Canada. For youtube, this video quality is as good as it gets.

In 1853, the US fleet commanded by Admiral Perry forced the doors open, leading to a modernization of the nation's sociopolitical systems and the eventual fall of the Shogunate. The samurai regime ended its life with the imperial restoration in 1868. That's what history tells, but in Gintama, that's not what happens. Instead of the US fleet, the country is stormed by spaceships coming from four corners of the universe and soon we see it occupied by extraterrestrials. The Shogunate has become a puppet of alien occupation armies. All samurai have been disarmed and reduced to temp workers with no skills who just try to make ends meet. Gintama is a story of a handyman named Gintoki, a samurai with no respect for rules set by the invaders, who's ready to take any job to survive. He and his gang, however, are also among the very few who have not forgotten the morale of a swordsman. Wherever they go, all they do is to create troubles. Troubles that they of course try to solve, but in reality...

Corrections and notes
All of Parasite Dolls are on YouTube and TAN; they treat it as one whole 90-minute-ish movie instead of three OVA episodes like Crunchyroll.

The entry for UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie is only for what Funimation owns, which are the OVAs we call Seasons 3 and 4. Seasons 1 and 2 still belong to the Neo-ADV group and still being peddled by The Anime Network through YouTube rentals; they're also peddling two OVA episodes.

All of these shows are on Hulu as well:

-009-1. And with episodes 1-8 dubbed.
-Baccano dub and sub
-Baka and Test
-Baldr Force
-Black Cat
-Casshern Sins
-Coyote Ragtime Show
-Dance in the Vampire Bund
-Gunslinger Girl OVA (listed with Il Tetrano)
-Jinki: Extend
-Kurau Phantom Memory
-Linebarrels of Iron
-Moon Phase (all subbed)
-Pretty Cure (missing episode 44)
-Red Garden
-Romeo X Juliet
-Rumbling Hearts
-Shattered Angels
-Shin Chan
-Slayers Revolution
-Slayers Evolution-R
-Soul Eater
-Spice and Wolf (1-5 dubbed and 1-13 subbed)
-Tokyo Majin
-The Wallflower

The following is NOT on Hulu:
-Slayers Season 1

I do have a correction I'm surprised no one has mentioned. Inuyasha: The Final Act has been uploaded on Monday mornings from episode 14 on, not on Saturday afternoons. I know it's not a big deal, but with the final episode airing this Monday, it would be nice to make sure people tune in the correct day to see it.

[Vyse]

One Piece is up extremely early. Episode 443 and 109 dub/sub are up on both OnePieceOfficial.com and Hulu. EDIT: I don't follow One Piece, so I didn't know 443's been up on OPO for like ever. And, Funi and Toei need to get their act together and allow FuniVideo/Hulu to get caught up.

Ghost Stories is up on YouTube: all 20 episodes of the dub.

As for YouTube, the best way to treat it is cross-checking with whatever's been added on FuniVideo. I may miss some additions, so I or someone else will still copy/paste Funimation's streaming update post.
