To the last couple of posters:

There are a shit-ton of free anime streaming sites out there. 99.9% of them have zero legitimacy. They're just rehosting fansubs and whatnot. But worse than that most of these sites still have a lot of ads. Where do you think that ad revenue goes? Certainly not to the people who made the anime. Not even to the fansubbers (not that I think trying to make money off of fansubber is terribly noble either...). No, 100% of it goes to line the pockets of the people running these sites that do nothing but aggregate other people's work. They're nothing but leeches.

Don't support leech sites. I really think it would be best of people would stick to the legal sites but I realize that's not always possible (though if you live in North America there's basically nothing you can't get from legal sites these days). If you're going to go for fansubs then it's better to get them straight from the fansubbers.
