The Frugal Otaku #2: A Big Year for Streaming Anime

2009 is starting off big for the Frugal Otaku.  We've enjoyed free anime for years through fansubbers.  That was the only way we could see the latest and greatest anime out of Japan.  Things are changing this year, though.  Several sites and companies are coming together to offer an unprecedented supply of free, high-quality anime, direct from Japan.  Some of them will even be available one hour after they air in Japan.

In fact, there are so many options available, it might be hard to keep track of them!  Well, we're here to help.  Jump to the forums to read the full article, where we'll lay out all of your options for free quality anime streaming, starting today!

The Frugal Otaku #1: Series Introduction and Welcome to the NHK

"Have you supported your local anime industry today, sir?"

Tampa Bay Anime has always supported the domestic anime market. We love anime, and we want to see it flourish. The best way to do that is to make sure that the people who make it are rewarded for their efforts.

However, we also understand that we can't all afford to buy anime to support the industry we love. How can these people support anime creators and distributors when they can't buy their products.

That's what this new article series is all about. We're going to point out places that anime fans can go to get their fix with a clean conscience. There are plenty of good places to get quality anime while supporting the industry, and we want to help you and them.
