I love anime and manga. I make it a point to keep a collection of manga for the bus rides to work or school and anime for my viewing pleasure when I get home from work or school.

Since I'm a big fan of manga and anime, I wanted to share my favorite places to hang out on the web when I am need to get my fix for anime or just hang out with other users who like what I like.

1.CrunchyRoll

This is one of the best websites on the web for viewing anime or asian movies.Although it is free to watch the low res videos to see the HD versions a donation is accepted and they are reasonable. Imagine for $5 a month getting ulitimited access to great shows in HD.(It's not requrired and there are never any contracts) All the series are subtitled for those who don't speak Japanese. They are in their orignal context and not imported versions. (which suck) You can also favorite your favorites, upload videos, and joins group with people that have similar interests as you. If you love anime and are looking to discover new shows or watch some of your favorites this is the place to be.

2.Veoh

Unlike crunchyroll, veoh doesn't worry about licensing issues like crunchy roll does. If there something that has been removed from crunchyroll because of licensing head on over to veoh to get your fix. They don't have huge database like crunchyroll does but they do have many of the popular animes that many people like to watch. Check it out and it's free.

And lastly,

3. Gaiaonline

Some of you may already know this site but if you don't it's one of the largest anime web communities out there. The coolest thing is that you can create your own character which can anything you want it to be. It's like your home away from home. You have your car, house and stuff. Talk to other users and make friends or walk through the towns and collect gold to buy stuff. There is not limit to the possibilites. And it's absolutely free! That's right free. Check it out and look me up. Anarcha!

Check out these sites and discover the world of anime and manga all over again.

*Cheers*
